Nevada

Where you now are, I once was. Where I am now, You will be.

Somewhere in Nevada, where the shadows come to play, on the roads and on the dunes all about the Silver State.

Southern Nevada Mine - Nevada

Gold was first discovered in the area in 1897 and the district reportedly produced some $53 million in gold by 1907. That’s a huge amount. There were hundreds of claims in the area and some 50+ mines in production. Information on the Southern Nevada Mine, however, is scarce to come by.

Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness - Nevada

I think most people associate the tree with the park, but the spikey trees aren’t confined to the famous national park. They can be found in other places as well.
