Our goal yesterday was to find an eating establishment in Virginia City, that could accommodate a group of about 25-50 people. When our Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) Golden Spike Chapter arrives here for the rally we are planning next year, we will need a place for lunch, when we get off the train in Virginia City. We also needed to scout out possible transportation from the train depot, to the restaurant. Just down the hill from Virginia City, and east of Carson City, there are a few businesses that are only legal in certain counties in Nevada. The picture below shows one of the more famous of those establishments, called the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. Now lets get one thing perfectly clear. We weren't doing any advance work, with the thought of utilizing the expertise in this business, as one of the attractions of our rally. I think it's safe to say that even though the services provided in a legal brothel might be attractive to one of the sexes, it's extremely doubtful, that there would be much interest by the other gender. The drive through the Bunny Ranch was purely for the purpose of historical research, as the original Virginia & Truckee Railroad right of way, passed by this business, only a few feet to the west. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
When we arrived in Virginia City, there was the usual Sunday congestion, which I suspect is pretty normal during most of the summer. While there, I obtained the name and phone number of the person we need to contact for transportation from the depot to the restaurant.
We also stopped at the Cafe del Rio, pictured above, and talked to the staff about providing a lunch for our group. Even though the owner wasn't there, we were given the best time to call, and make the necessary arrangements. Everyone we talked to, said this is the best restaurant in Virginia City for our group luncheon. Since we have about a year before all of this will happen, our main goal is to obtain contact information, and loosely set the agenda for the few days that we will all be here. This morning, we will be talking to a couple of people here in Carson City, who will be able to give us more information on a group dinner here at the Gold Dust West Casino, where we are parked. And, we'll be stopping at the Visitors Bureau, to speak to a lady who will be able to help us with a group reservation on the train. With that accomplished, our research will be done, at least for now, and tomorrow, we'll be heading east on the Loneliest Road in America, US Hwy 50.
