Other Nevada Stuff

Nevada by Moon Handbooks 2011 by Avalon Travel and Scott Smith. Excellent guidebook for Nevada.

A bicyclist travels across America. The above site is Nevada. Check out the other trips!!!.
The writer mentions The Shoe Tree of Middlegate which we missed because it was cut down by vandals!

Sand Mountain. 20 Miles east of Fallon is Sand Mountain. 600 feet high, 2 miles long, and one mile wide. If you like big sand piles (I do), camping (I do), and ATVs (I don't), visit here or not...

Spencer's Hot Springs. We missed this. On Hwy 50, 12 miles east of Austin, take State Route 376 south for 1/4 mile, turn left onto a gravel road. See Toquima Cave historic marker and travel 5.5 miles, turn left onto a dirt road, and follow to springs.

Tonopah: Mizpah Hotel re-opened in 2013. Library in town with free Internet!!! This was the only town after 140 miles with a gas station!!! Beware of long distance between gas stations!!! Actually, Nevada warns drivers with signage of distance for gas.

I LOVED Nevada!
