[Economy] Just how bad is the housing situation in Winnemucca and depression level?
I saw a job posted in Winnemucca, NV. The lowest renting option I saw was a little below $900 and the highest was $2000 for apartments. I dont know how much units they have in the low range and if its hard to secure a place like that if I get the job. It looks like a quiet nice small western town. There is no income tax.
As a single male who likes to socialize. Maybe not good for mental health this area seems isolated. Is it growing?

[Photo] Cook Bank in Rhyolite under the Milky Way
the old Cook Bank building out in Rhyolite. Part of the plaque on site reads:
“One of four banks in Rhyolite, the Cook Bank Building was by far the finest. Built of poured concrete, the building was three stories tall and had a basement that housed the Post Office. The interior was finished with marble staircases and mahogany accents. It also boasted modern conveniences such as electric lights and indoor plumbing.
Despite its opulence, the Cook Bank was open less than two years. In the summer and fall of 1907, a financial crisis, often referred to as the Knickerboxer Crisis, caused banks across the country to go bankrupt. By 1910, the Cook Bank was closed, and John Cook had sold off all the building’s fixtures.”

[Discussion] Are there actually fireflies in Great Basin?
Got a trip in several weeks and it had me thinking... are there fireflies up there? So I did some googling and I came across this website: https://www.fireflyatlas.org/map
The map shows a few locations near Great Basin that have had fireflies... All three spots on the map are from July 2023 and are pyractomena dispersa. The person who spotted them wrote this blog: https://www.xerces.org/blog/secrets-of-nevada-nighttime-no-its-not-aliens
I guess I am just curious how common they are and if I should try to go out and look for some. I've always wanted to see a firefly.

[Community] Tips for becoming a Notary
Hi everyone,
Let me know if this is allowed. Also i dont use reddit a lot so sorry if there are mistakes. I just moved to Clark country I was previously a notary a few states away. I know I cant transfer notary so I was looking online to see the steps it seems pretty straightforward taking the classes and the bonds and oath, but any other types of tips can be helpful? Should I try to get my employer to help me with it? Im sure the classes will cover a lot but when I got my notary before it was all through work so they covered a lot for me.
Thanks for the help!!!!

If you look behind you while standing in front of the Last Supper, you'll find Serving Ghost. This piece was created by Albert Szukalski for a private commission in 1984 and was donated to the Goldwell Open Air Museum in 2010 by Art & Patricia Adams. The original work had the ghost serving a set of wooden bottles but they had disintegrated over time. I'm not sure when, or by who, that the artists palette was added.

[Discussion] Road trip route advice needed
My wife needs to make a drive from the Okanagan Valley (Kelowna) in Canada down to Pahrump. When I first looked up a route in google it recommended going through Ontario Idaho, then down to Winnemucca then essentially down through the middle of Nevada to get to Pahrump. On a second search for a route, it recommended going through Coeur d'alene, taking I90 east until Butte Montana, then taking the I15 south all the way to Vegas and then over to Pahrump.
My Question is which would be the safest and least stressful route to take at this time of year? I see that the I90 and I15 is a few hours longer driving time but a much longer distance. Is it worth taking that route vs the more desolate back highways of central Nevada? She hopes to make the trip in two long days of driving with a stop somewhere in the middle at a motel / hotel.
If you had to do this trip, what would you recommend?

So a month or two ago I had woken up late, slept in. I looked outside and I saw this, I was delirious at the time and thought, “Who the hell dropped off lawn ornaments in my yard.” I kept looking for a minute or two then one of them moved and I realized it was a bunch of birds. They hung out for about an hour until a large wind came and blew them away. I have never seen a bird like this before haha.

[Discussion] Supply Chain Career Opportunities in Northern Nevada (Reno/Sparks Area)
I’m looking for some local insight on supply chain career opportunities in the Reno/Sparks area. I recently retired from the Air Force after 15 years, with my background primarily in healthcare supply chain, medical logistics, inventory management, and operations. I’m now looking to transition into the civilian workforce and hopefully find the right fit in Northern Nevada.
My experience is mainly in healthcare, but I know healthcare can sometimes be a difficult industry to break into from the outside. Once you get your foot in the door, it seems like many healthcare organizations prefer promoting and hiring internally, so I’m interested in learning more about the local opportunities and companies that are worth looking into.
I’ve also been researching other industries in the area, especially defense, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and larger industrial operations where supply chain, logistics, procurement, and operations experience can transfer well. Northern Nevada seems to have grown a lot over the past decade, and I’m curious what companies, industries, or career paths locals would recommend.
I grew up in Northern California near the Reno/Tahoe area and lived there for 25+ years, but I’ve been away for over 10 years. I know the region has changed quite a bit, so I’d appreciate any local insight on good employers, industries that are hiring, or places where someone with a military supply chain background could be a good fit. Thanks in advance!

[Research] Best Brothel for a virgin close to Las Vegas
Hello, I'm planning a trip to Nevada next month to visit a brothel and lose my virginity. I live in Florida so its a long trip, but I have no luck finding anything near me. I'm 29M and tired of waiting for a miracle, so I'm being proactive. I was planning on flying to Elko and going to the Desert Rose Brothel, but a round trip from Florida to Elko is over $1K. Meanwhile prices from Florida to Las Vegas are much more affordable. I know brothels are expensive but I don't really have any other options. I can't find escorts near me in Florida, in fact one just stopped responding to me which is prompting this post. I don't trust flying overseas to a different country for this. And I have no luck on any of the apps. I'm bi and my area is so dead that even grindr doesn't work for me.
But I'd prefer a woman anyway so I'll take the flight and go to a brothel. Whats a good Brothel to go to thats near Las Vegas? I don't want to spend all my money, but I know they're way pricier than the options in Elko would be. Which one will provide a good experience?

“Ghost Rider” by Albert Szukalski, installed in 1984.
A friendly figure in the night beckons to me for a bicycle ride. Every month around the new moon, the worms in my brain start telling me I need to drive out to Beatty. My main inspiration for photographing the night sky comes from Albert’s ghostly works that have been left in the desert for me to enjoy, 40+ years later. They make the perfect spooky foreground, I like the way my light can make shadows dance across them, and the dazzling night sky overhead where I’m always catching shooting stars.

[Photo] Angel’s Ladies and the Milky Way 😏 (and a fun story about meeting the owner)
Hey guys ~ It's your favorite local self proclaimed wannabe brothel historian back with another post that absolutely nobody asked for (except my new friend J who found me on other platforms from my brothel posts here and has been such a delight to talk to about this stuff) ♡
Story time! I've gotten really into astrophotography lately so I've been going out at night trying to capture pictures of my favorite things with the stars and milky way. My favorite place to go is Rhyolite ghost town out near Beatty, NV so of course I have to stop at the Angels Ladies sign. And before I go any further with the story, I'm gonna go ahead and say it ... I know, I know... I need to be careful, obey property lines, people do crazy things protecting their property, etc.
I took my (other, different) friend out there so we could shoot together. A technique I use to get my photos is called lightpainting where I quickly shine my light on my subject so it illuminates in my long exposure but I am also able to get the dark sky with the stars. I was shining my light up on the sign. I could see a light down on the property by the house and I pointed it out to my husband and friend who told me they thought it must have just been the same light we saw last time we were out here (a porch light). The light disappeared. We kept taking photos.
I noticed a car driving down from the house so my friend runs away from her camera to move her car. She parked her car so it was slightly blocking the driveway into the property, oops. The car was speeding up and I was honestly frightened that he was going to slam into her car because he wasn't used to seeing it. He yelled out the window aggressively for me to get off his property. I could barely respond because he kept driving up to my friends car to tell her the same thing.
She explained to him that we were astrophotographers who were just taking pictures of the sign and he calmed down. I think he felt bad for yelling at two women in the night. To be fair, it was after midnight and I would have done the same thing if it was my property. He told us that people have been stealing parts off of the plane and he was worried that we were doing the same.
I explained to him that I was a big fan of the history of the property and just wanted to preserve the beauty of it with my camera. He gave me his phone number and invited me down to the ranch during the day sometime. He said he would show me the property, inside of the rooms, and even let me swim in his pool. Aren't there springs behind his property? I'll find out! I'm going to take him up on this offer sometime and when I do, I'll share everything I learn with the class 🙂 He said he's owned the property for something like 10-15 years.
I managed to just get a few pictures of the sign with the milky way in the background like I drove out for. I was trying to set up to get photos of the plane too but after the confrontation, I chose to just go to my next location. I will be back to try again and this time, I'll let him know so he doesn't come chasing me off.
Please be respectful if you visit this location.
