And I'm not all that interested in what our family referred to as "hysterical sites." But if there are quiet, natural areas to camp in, then I might have to add Nevada to my list of states to camp in when I get some time.

My dad, being from the Philippines, was always fascinated with the American deserts, so we spent a lot of time traveling in and through Nevada. He also liked gambling, so that also took us there. I personally loved the historic places. I still find myself visiting Nevada in recent years but it's all changed. Still, I find lots to explore and now have several great friends living there as well.Mary Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097790821159195213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-5454318330530572812015-07-13T12:05:29.871-05:002015-07-13T12:05:29.871-05:00I live in gold country with lots of old mines and ...I live in gold country with lots of old mines and museums, but I'm in California, not Nevada.

I've been to the Tahoe area and it's beautiful. Love Reno. During WW2, my dad was stationed at Fallon Naval Air Station in Fallon, NV. My parents used to take me to Reno as an infant. Now, my son lives in Henderson, outside Vegas and my husband and I go to Vegas at least once a year. We don't gamble so we explore and have learned to love Nevada.

We lived in Las Vegas and I was pleased to learn there is a whole "other world" besides the famous casinos in that city. I loved the tranquil desert atmosphere and the dry heat, so unlike the humidity we have in our Florida home and our West Kentucky home on the Ohio River as well. <br />I see you have one book cover reflecting the Civil War. This is a period I write about so we have this in common. I would love to read this book. I wish you best of luck with all of your books. <br />Linda (LSwiftR@aol.com)Linda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-27856392377661827942015-07-12T10:25:07.501-05:002015-07-12T10:25:07.501-05:00Oops forgot to leave my info just in case - catsla...Oops forgot to leave my info just in case - catslady5@aol.com Thanks.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-2010597085022058262015-07-12T10:24:12.499-05:002015-07-12T10:24:12.499-05:00Sounds really interesting!

Too bad for them; the state is quite fascinating, especially the old mining towns. I love Carson City, which is the capital. There is much awesome wilderness and some incredible military installations. Did you know that the U.S. submarine warfare training base is in Nevada? Nowhere near water but very isolated. Anyway, I'm glad to see that somebody appreciates the rest of the silver state. Ken Weenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518433815909216348noreply@blogger.com
