ELKO NEVADA

THE RUBY MOUNTIANS

After leaving Carson City, we headed east to Elko, Nevada. The purpose of this stop was to visit with some of Cathie’s cousins. Some really pretty country in the Ruby Mountains south of town. Today Elko survives on the open pit gold mines in the area. Half of the RV’s in our RV park are occupied by miners. They work 21 days straight then get a week off to return home or to spend their money in some of the local casinos or perhaps in other establishments in town.
