Nelson-Nevada 4

bearthedog · Dec 14, 2011

The day after hiking around Valley of Fire, I went to see one of the most obscure places in NV. Not too many people I know have ever heard of it, but it was a photographers haven. A collection of old trucks, cars, and some very odd relics like old spoons, stoves, and gardening tools. Oh and a plane crash!

Nelson

Yes, an airplane crash

Yes, it is a miniature effect that my little P&S S95 has on it.

beautiful, when I think back about my job offer I had in Tonopah Nevada, I kick my head thinking I could be exploring those wonderful places!

That is the place I was trying to remember the name of... was in a scene in a movie- Leaving Las Vegas I think. I have a pic in front of the plane crash- like every other tourist

I went there and rode ATV's and toured an old gold mine, had lunch over in a ravine. They still had a huge wooden vat where they used arsenic to seperate the gold dust at one time.
