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.

Rhyolite - Nevada

Rhyolite, Nevada is one of my favorite ghost towns, so much so that when I'm even remotely in the area, I'll stop by to visit and take more pictures for my collection.

Gold Mines near Lida - Nevada

My gold mine senses were tingling, so I turned around as soon as I could and headed back to see what I could find.
