The most complete guide to Southern Nevada's mining history.
We are planning another evening social event in the mountains south of town. The purpose of this event is to meet and reconnect with some good people, enjoy the nicer weather and discuss future group events.
We'll try to arrive around 5:30 or 6:00, but there is no set meeting time, so arrive and leave whenever you'd like. This will be an above ground event with no open mine shafts. There will be no children or pet restrictions, but please keep a close eye on both. There will be a table set up for food and snacks to share, but this is not a cookout event, so no grill or fire will be provided. Please, bring your own flashlights, chairs and a food or snack item to add to the table.
The drive there isn't so bad and an off-road high-clearance vehicle isn't needed until the final approach, but use your own judgement of your driving and vehicle capabilities. If you are arriving by car, you should park at the base of the hill and walk or get someone's attention to come get you.
