The Basin and Range area of southeastern Nevada is an iconic American landscape. The area is one of the most undisturbed corners of the broader Great Basin region, which extends from the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the west to the Colorado Plateau in the east. The vast, rugged landscape redefines our notions of distance and space and brings into sharp focus the will and resolve of the people who have lived here.
The Basin and Range National Monument comprises 704,000 acres of public lands managed by the BLM in Lincoln and Nye counties in Nevada, about two hours north of Las Vegas. The monument includes Garden Valley and Coal Valley; the Worthington Mountains, Golden Gate Range, Seaman Mountains, and Mount Irish Range; the Hiko Narrows and White River Narrows; and the Shooting Gallery rock art site. It is the first national monument managed by the BLM in Nevada.
The Monument preserves the legacies of 13,000 years of culture. The White River Narrows Archaeological District represents one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric rock art in eastern Nevada and includes panels dating back 4,000 years and contains the northernmost known examples of the Pahranagat style of rock art. The Basin and Range area was mostly unknown to European-Americans until the 1820s. Mormon settlers came to the area in the mid-19th century. Mining began in the area in the 1860s and head frames, mining cabins, and other structures associated with the region's mining history can be found in the Mount Irish area. During the late 19th century, Basque and other ranchers brought sheep and cattle ranching into Garden Valley, and ranching remains to this day.
The closest towns to Basin and Range National Monument are Ely on the north, Caliente on the east, and Alamo on the south. All three towns are located on US Highway 93. Just north of Alamo, where Highway 93 doglegs east before heading north again, State Route 318 branches off and cuts straight north toward Ely. State Route 318 runs along the eastern edge of the Monument and provides access to several of its most fascinating petroglyph sites, including White River Narrows and Mount Irish Archeological Districts and the Shooting Gallery rock art area. By driving up the west side of the Monument along State Route 375 toward Rachel, visitors can reach the forests and limestone cliffs and arches of the Worthington Mountains Wilderness. Opportunities for solitude abound in the wide open expanse for climbers, hikers, bicyclists, campers, hunters, and OHV riders.

It’s no secret that sisters Nina and Dina Caliente have a taste for fine jewelry and distinguished men. Dina in particular, had her eyes set on Mortimer Goth for years, waiting for the chance to win his heart…and his wallet.
Well, last weekend, Dina finally got her wish. She and Mortimer wed in Pleasantville’s largest church with the entire town as their guests. The held an expensive reception with the most expensive catering and the most expensive wedding band. And that night, they began their new life together at the most expensive hotel with plans to leave early the next morning for a luxurious honeymoon on a remote island.
Only, to everyone’s surprise things didn’t turn out quite as planned. An ambulance was called to the hotel late that night after a guest found Mortimer lying face down right outside his room. It turns out Mortimer was poisoned! But luckily still alive, which is how he managed to make it to the doorway in time to be found.
The police searched the grounds for his beloved new bride, but alas, she was no where to be found. Turns out, the honeymoon tickets were gone too along with all of Mortimer’s credit cards and checkbook.
As they called the airport, the police discovered they were too late. Dina had cashed in the honeymoon tickets for two other tickets and took her sister Nina out of the country, where they were undoubtedly hidden halfway around the world by now.
So now Dina and Nina are fugitives on the run, with a boat-load of cash. The only problem is they need a new image so they don’t get recognized and sent to prison!
Your goal is to use Dina and Nina’s newfound wealth to give them a special new look that won’t attract attention based on their pictures that have circulated amongst police all over the world, so they need to act fast!

Los perros calientes son bocadillos de salchicha generalmente tipo Frankfurt, hervida o frita, la cual es introducida dentro de un pan alargado y acompañado con alguna salsa o aderezo.
Tradicionalmente, los perros calientes se hacen de carne, puerco o una combinación de ambos. Sin embargo, la salchicha puede variar según los gustos y preferencias del consumidor. De hecho, en la actualidad existen salchichas para vegetarianos, hechas de análogos de carne.

After visiting Machu Picchu our group took the bus back down to the nearby town of Aguas Calientes. I got this shot & then my final camera battery ran out (I took 3 batteries for the 4 day hike). It was perfect timing - I would have been fuming if I had run out of power before arriving at Machu Picchu.
