When most folks think of Nevada the first thing that comes to mind is the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas. It's completely mesmerizing, a fantasyland to be sure. But get out of the city limits, and you are instantly back in the wild west. Desert landscape and all that goes with it. We only explored a small portion of Nevada at the southern end but I feel that we definitely got a sense of the place and the rhythm of what life is like there. It was interesting to compare Laughlin to Vegas and to see the modern marvel that is the Hoover Dam. We still have yet to see the capitol building in Carson City and I would definitely like to see Reno...ah yes, probably another short road trip in the making...
