Great shot Arla. I really need to get to the other side of the state one day. Just beautiful.

Thank you, Dave!
I haven’t found a “Nevada The Silver State” Group on RB.
What’s up with THAT?
I mean, between glitzy Vegas and Reno, the majestic mountains and forests of Tahoe, and the Big Empty … we’ve got everything but an ocean …

This is an excellent presentation of the life in the desert and the beauty that resides there!
I lived in Ely Nevada for a few years and worked on the New Build Out of The Robinson Mine!
This area has many breath taking sights that most would begin to believe would exhist there!
Kudos to you…..................Excellent Shoot!
Arla M. Ruggles replied
Ah! Then you know that sites like this one tend to be closely-guarded secrets among the population. ;p
You possibly know my father, Art Ruggles?
I think he might have done some consulting on that project.
Thanks so much for the comment!
