The Lost City

Jarom's mom has wanted to go to the Lost City. It is pretty close to Vegas. I guess it was one of the 1st Mormon towns settled in the area. When they built the dam the city would be flooded. They built the dam as we all know. The city was under water for I can't remember how long. Now all the water is dried up and people can go out and check out the old ruins. It was fun. Sharon packed some snacks. In the above picture I found some weird metal thing that looked like an ab roller. It was fun to see all the houses that have lasted this long.
A bunch of (what ever that stuff is) has grown all over. You have to follow the trails in order to make it through the city. Of coarse Jarom's mom like adventure and was taking her own route. She is fun. She wanted to look at everything.

For one of my birthdays I really wanted a metal detector. Jarom got it for me. He is always looking for opportunities for me to use it. Living in Vegas there aren't many places to use it. We both thought the lost city would be perfect until we happened to notice the sign. We were bummed.
