[John_Cillis 2,406]

Over Nevada's stark yet beautiful Basin and Range desert, and the Bonneville Salt Flats in the distance....

It's always good to explore (at least in the SIM) this largely desert but very interesting (and beautiful too!) state. My exposure to it is limited to the two "touristy" attractions:Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. Hardly the means to appreciate this state. So, these images of the Basin and its topology are rather interesting!

I used to manage the hotel accounting team for Harrah's Lake Tahoe--lived there a year but did not adjust well to the cold climate well and became a business systems instructor for their owner at that time, Holiday Inn, where I was based near Washington DC and out of Atlanta.  A beautiful, often missed part of Nevada is Great Basin National Park, east of Ely near the Utah border.  I went there in 2013, it was the highest I had ever driven, over 11,500 feet, and the Aspen trees at that altitude were glorious.
