Saturday, we went to Cobalt's first Silverfest. It really seemed kind of disorganized and without much participation especially in the AM. We wandered around like lost souls even though we had a timetable of things to do from the paper. Most activities centered on the main street which didn't amount to much. The best part was that all the museums were open FREE. We went through two mining museums that I hadn't been in and the military bunker at the old train station. Both of the mining museums had some good video on old Cobalt and the methods of mining and extracting silver. A+ to the museums. When it started to rain in the late afternoon we took the road route visiting various mines and sites around the town. I have done this before and it is well worth the time to go around to the old minesites. If you ever go get the guide that goes with the trip, it's about $4.oo but gives alot more info than what is on the signs. We wandered back through Haileybury and New Liskeard along the shoreline. Jeremy had not seen any of this area before. Hopefully next years Silverfest will be a little more organized.
Today we ventured down around Sand Lake road checking out routes for Jeremy to travel with his motorcycle. We also checked out some good camping sites near Chrysler Lake on the Bay Lumber Road.
Tomorrow the boat is ready for fishing, weather permitting.
