A treasure hunt for you... Remember Elko and Ruby valley are in valleys, this is high, really high. You can easily spend a month there and not see a soul.

First of all, the only areas that are too expensive are Las Vegas and Tahoe. I know a few people that live in Las Vegas and they don't much like it - school suck and the traffic from the millions of tourist every DAY make errands a nightmare. Tahoe is absolutely beautiful, but is way to expensive for most peopl though it is a great weekend destination! I spent some time in the desert between Las Vegas and Death Valley and it was absolutely gorgeous (geologist talking)!
Deserts have a wide range of biota that are exclusive and quite interesting. Not to mention that you won't see a soul for days if you don't pick the typical touristy spots. Nevada has a great amount of history - you have heard of the gold rush right?? and I could be a smarty pants and talk about the amazing geological history of Nevada, but I won't go there - check it out for yourself ![]() |

I got my car stuck in the sand in some Nevada State Park once. I had just started scratching my head, figuring what I was going to do...and four people materialized, without being asked, to help my sorry a-- out.
Something similar happened to me in Berkeley, CA, land of peace, love, and crunchy granola, and nobody lifted a finger. They didn't even want to look. Vegas is for the tourists. Nevadans are alright. You motor around the desert, you can meet lots of nice people. But it's a free wheeling place, you have to watch yourself, too. People want a "safe adventure," they should go to Disneyland. |
