 Mustangs by mcpangie
One of my favorite country music singers Lacy J. Dalton is very active in the protection of mustangs. She lives in Virginia City, nestled in the mountains to the east of Reno. When you come down the Geiger Grade into Reno from Virginia City, you'll even see warning signs that help remind drivers they are running around. Leave a Comment

The Cal Nevada Casino at North Lake Tahoe features the state line separating California and Nevada running through the parking lot, the lobby area, and the pool.
The casino of course is only on the Nevada side and there is no agricultural inspection station for 20 miles.

 Incredibly Deep Snows by mcpangie
Along SR431 there are some lovely views of the Reno/Sparks area (at night the lights sparkle like a million stars), as well as on the east side of the summit there are magnificent view of Lake Tahoe and Incline Village. My suggestion for sight-seeing tourists with cameras handy are that if you go up to Tahoe, you may want to try another route to drive up, and chose SR431 as the highway to come back to Reno because most of the pull-offs you'll want to stop at will be on the right-hand side of the road.
My favorite time to drive that way is in the dark in the winter. It is awesome when the moon is full. The incredibly deep snow reflects light, making the giant pine stands and their shadows something else to see. If you cross-country ski, there are places to stop and explore the Sierra Nevada pine forests and mountainside; full moon ski or snowshoe trips are very popular around here. At about 8,000 feet, slightly west of the summit you will come to Mt. Rose Ski Resort (only about 12 or 13 miles from the 395 and Virginia Street), the closest ski destination and very popular.

Reno is 15 mins to 1 hour away from about 10 different ski resorts. If you're a skier, check out Mt. Rose which is about 10 miles south west of reno for awesome powder. Leave a Comment
