Summer time again in the Elko, NV area



My people, if you live in Nevada near Elko or even farther, this is the time of year to go driving and catching the scenery. Drive out to Taylor Canyon for an afternoon and I promise you will have a nice visit with Tom and Andy. They are closed every Tuesday, but they are open the rest of the week. Call in advance and tell them what you want to eat and it will be there for you. Play pool or try your luck on the slot machines while they cook you something home made style. Prices are very conveniently low and they have a full bar.

You can rent a cabin for hunting purposes or just to get out of town to relax and enjoy the beautiful Taylor Canyon Resort. The ghost town of Tuscarora is just up the road from them where you can find the history of Japanese miners who settled there many years ago, and the history of the Charles and Della Van Norman, who settled there and have kept ties with that area up to now.

I recommend Tuscarora for site seeing if you are into old cities and their history. If you miss out on this quiet place right out of Elko or Winnemucca this summer you will have missed out on seeing and spending time in one of the most interesting areas I think in Nevada.

Have a wonderful summer my people. Remember spend wisely, but it's okay to treat yourself sometimes. Taylor Canyon is the place. Try it and you see, you'll be back.
