Uniquely Nevada`

I had to do just one more post on our Nevada trip.

We love living in Wyoming! It is a great place. We live in the heart of some of the most beautiful country to be found. If nature and the great outdoors is your thing, then this part of the world is hard to beat.

With that being said, we sure miss Nevada also.

Nevada Single Leaf Pinyon Pine

Nevada has vast pinyon pine and juniper forest. Part of growing up in rural Nevada was the annual fall event of gathering pine nuts. The pinyon trees produce large cones that contain several nuts each. The Nevada Single Leaf Pinyon Pine, produces a nut that contains more protein than any other nut or seed. From all signs I have seen, this year there should be a bumper crop of pine nuts in Nevada! If you haven't experienced gathering, and more importantly, eating pine nuts, you are missing out.

Nevada Sunset

Nevada is best known for its vast deserts and dry country. However, what most people do not realize is that Nevada is the most mountainous state in the country. It has over 300 mountain ranges, and has more peaks above 10,000 feet than any other state!

Most of all we miss family and freinds.
