Steam engines and I







From Twin Bridges you take Hiway 267 to Virginia City in Madison County. Bikers love this road. Scenic, and enough turns to keep you on full alert. Nevada City was firing up the steam engine for the tourism run to Virginia City. Rumor has it they are retiring the line and putting the engine in a museum. You can also see miles and miles of ripped up river valley floor as the result of intensive dredge and water blast sluice mining for the elusive gold.
