NEVADA

How do I describe it? First of all, there's Casino's on every corner in the towns/cities, it's amazing. The terrain goes from snow covered mountains, high desert, salt flats, miles and miles without seeing a building or human being other than in the cars, trucks, motorhomes, trailers etc. The name Nevada comes from Spanish word nieve meaning "snow-capped." We passed by hill country that contains gold mines. There are many other minerals that is mined here, as well as gold.




Miles and miles of this terrain


And I don't like tunnels. When we got inside Larry said, "Hope there isn't an earthquake while we're in here". I didn't need that!!!


Snow? Nope Salt. Miles and miles of salt flats.

"There's gold in them there hills"

The next blog will be about the city of Elko, NV.
