The town was the first settlement in Nevada, settled by the Mormons in 1851 - it's pretty small but cute as ever!
Our first stop of the day was of COURSE for coffee - and what better place than "The Pink House"! It's basically a Victorian restaurant with different rooms to sit in and the coffee was very good!!
Genoa also boosts the oldest bar in Nevada!
We toured the local museum which was very interesting and then headed to the park where I posed in front of Snowshoe Mailman, He was born in Norway and from 1856 to 1876 delivered mail on his back via skis from Placerville, CA to Genoa, NV. It was a distance of 90 miles one way over the mountains!! Hard to imagine!!
Meanwhile, Glenn and Bob decided to attack cutting down the dead tree in their back yard!
Here is a picture of their dog Cooper and Bob TRYING to look mean!! Cooper was an extremely well behaved dog and loved his morning walks!
Yes, more cards were played - more food was eaten!
Before we headed to the airport our final morning, I got a photo of the quail that Bob and Jeanine feed daily! They come running from all over and are cute as ever!!
A couple of final pictures in front of their awesome view!
