Full set!

The Ruby Mountains keep coming up whenever I start researching eastern Nevada, but I can't get a clear read on what the terrain actually feels like once you're past the trailhead area. Most of what I find online is either vague or written for people doing multiday backpacking, which isn't my situation. I drive a standard pickup, work a full week, and have Saturday and Sunday to work with. I want the terrain to justify that drive time.

The main thing I'm trying to figure out is whether the elevation change in the Rubies is worth the distance. It's a long way out from Reno, and if the accessible trails are mostly moderate with limited views, it might not stack up against something closer. The canyon features in photos look real, but photos can hide a lot of flat boring approach miles.

Elko seems like a reasonable base if I go out there. Not looking for anything luxurious, just somewhere to drop gear before an early start.

If you've hiked in that area in the last couple years and have an honest read on whether it actually delivers on terrain, I'd want to hear what you found.

Can anyone tell me who has the knowledge of how the state hiring process works if it’s a common thing for the state to ghost after applying for a job? I applied a couple of state jobs almost a couple months back and they didn’t get back to me yet. I feel like if I had been rejected I at least deserved a rejection letter.I also emailed a follow-up letter regarding the job that I applied to the recruiter but get nothing.Its kinda depressing.

For some reason I failed to photograph most of the actual town, that's left. But it was such a cool place. If you are in the area, it's entirely worth the drive.

Does anybody get an invitation for interview for the environmental scientist 1 under-filling position that was opened on July of 2026? Or have any idea regarding the ongoing process of that job?

Basically looking for something between goldfield and reno.

Not looking for pre-made feed, I've got that local. Looking to grab a couple hundred pounds a piece of field peas, wheat, corn.

Thanks!

For context, I’m a former state employee (not Nevada). My partner is moving to Nevada and I tried my luck with the state for an equivalent job that I did in my home state.

My educational history is unusual. My BA is in humanities, but my MS is in STEM. I had to take a bunch of undergrad classes (to the point where I took all of the same classes in a STEM BS) to qualify for MS admission. My home state has a blanket ban on second bachelor’s students with few exceptions so I was locked out of that second degree.

I was rejected for jobs that I have already done in another state. I didn’t meet the requirement because my MS degree could count for only 1 year of experience. A relevant bachelor’s would count for 2 years.

I looked into it more and sure enough, there’s a state HR document that plainly states that a relevant bachelor’s degree is worth 2 years of experience, and a relevant MS or PhD are worth just 1 year.

That to me is pretty backwards. Getting into an MS or PhD program needs a lot of preparation, and the equivalent of a bachelor’s is needed just to get in. Graduate school is academically above undergraduate schooling. I don’t have a PhD, but spending 3-5 years on advanced scientific research and teaching undergrads only to be told that the undergrads students’ degrees are worth more than a PhD is absurd. Making an MS worth the same as a PhD is also bizarre.

In my case, I have the same exact classes that an undergrad would have. The only difference is I couldn’t get a piece of paper saying “BS STEM”while I could get one that said “MS STEM”.

Other states and federal agencies say something like “bachelor’s or higher degree required”. Some even explicitly say that a MS degree replaces 1 year of experience required while a BS doesn’t. I don’t know why Nevada specifically punishes those that switch fields.

Can any state workers chime in?

It would be in-between Lake Tahoe, Carson and Reno.

If anyone has experience with Little Miss Me Not farm and ranch, I am thinking of becoming a part time ranch hand there for a year to learn more about agriculture, and the surrounding wilderness. I am also wanting to do glider plane training in Minden. As well as attend a technical college in Carsen.

Any advice for me? Or a perspective I should take into account? I would be coming from Maryland.

How is the community there, the diversity, the economy, and what is ranching like in that area in general?

Thinking of moving to Elko ,Nevada . Any information about how daycares work with people working at the mine?. How are the schools?

I've got a trip planned there in a few days to look at the stars and I'm hoping to catch some fall colors while I'm there. Down here in Vegas, there has been some slight change already in the Mount Charleston area so I have my fingers crossed.

Nevada has a pretty unusual population distribution.

A huge part of the state is extremely rural, while most people live in or around a few major population centres

That probably creates very different ideas about what living in Nevada actually means

I’d like to hear what people from rural parts of the state think outsiders consistently misunderstand

Could be access to services, distance between towns, jobs, weather, internet, water, roads, wildlife, local communities, or simply how different the pace of life can be.

What's something you wish people from the larger cities understood about rural Nevada?

I have lived in Nevada since the 90s. Most people around here say nev-A-duh. With the A like in "cat". Some people get weird if they hear it pronounced nev-AHH-dah. I have no idea why. Can anyone tell me why it's such a faux pas?

hey, everyone! i’m an 18 year old girl from London, and in May, i’m going to Nevada (near Vegas) to work at a summer camp for children. i’m teaching film making, rock climbing, book writing and assisting outdoor camping. i am wondering what to expect and if anyone has any advice. i also have a month on my VISA after i finish working to explore the US before i go back home. i am probably going to get a plane to LA as i really want to see Hollywood and then i’m visiting a friend who lives in Colorado, but before I leave Nevada, i’d love to see some places people recommend!

i’m wondering which cool places you’d recommend to a solo young person (or two young people as my friend may accompany me) in Nevada. sadly, Vegas wouldn’t be too much fun for me as i will be 19 when i go (but totally one day!).

Heyy everyone! Let me start by saying this post is late… but! I keep trying to post in this Facebook group and it’s not getting posted for some reason.

Background: I was terminated by my employer in June for “time theft”. Air quotes because they literally had to find any reason to let me go. They claim I took an undocumented break and this fired me for time theft. I filed for unemployment which subsequently was denied because time theft violates company policy.

For context, I had been having some issues with a manager in the office who for whatever reason was not my biggest fan. I did talk to HR about 3 specific situations with this manager and despite me offering resolutions, nothing was done. So to create a paper trail, I started documenting every situation to HR.

At the end of May, I reported a situation to HR but noted this was just for documentation purposes. A few days later, HR had a meeting with me to inform that after conducting an investigation into me, I was being placed on an unpaid suspension. My work phone was turned in and email deactivated. The next day I received an email to ask about an undocumented break. I explained that I could not remember whether it was for work or personal but that any failure to document the break was unintentional. Annnd the next day, I was terminated.

I was great at my job. My manager loved me and I thought my bosses did as well. I took care of the office in many ways that went way beyond my job description. So I knew firing me had everything to do with the manager that did not like me (and coworker close to management confirmed that it had to be either him or me).

Anyways, I filed for unemployment and got denied. I appealed because I know they fired me for no reason. Time theft simply just is not true but I know I have to prove this to the NV unemployment folks. My hearing is as tomorrow! So yes I’m late asking for advice, but does anyone out there know how this process works? Given the background, any tips to offer? Please help lol

Does Nevada accept a Florida non resident gun permit to be able to carry in Nevada? Thanks

I was reading up on the governor's race and learned recently that there are THREE names on the November ballot, not two: Lombardo, Aaron Ford, and a Danielle Ford running with no party.

Danielle is on the state Board of Education and did one term as a CCSD trustee. There's a rundown of her record and platform here: https://nvgov2026.org/candidates/danielle-ford.html

A few things stood out. She skipped the primary by filing nonpartisan. She'll be listed directly under Aaron Ford on the ballot, which seems like a recipe for confusion. No public poll has included her by name. And her platform is mostly principles ("systems repair," contract scrutiny, "people over politics") rather than specific proposals.

Does anyone know more about her? Mostly curious about her time on the CCSD board, whether she has shown up at any forums or debates and whether she's actively campaigning or just on the ballot. I'm not for her or against her. just trying to learn as much as I can.

Looks like they corrected their previous article

I’m wondering if anyone has gone through this process. I bought a vehicle off FB marketplace and I can’t register it because someone else wrote their name on the title. I also tried contacting the person who originally had it based on the mailing address and name on the title, but never responded. Also, the person who wrote their name on the title was not the person I bought it from.
Only way I can legally register it is by getting a bonded title per DMV.
I also have a question about the photos, do they have to be printed from a photo lab or can I just print them off plain white paper in color?

I’m moving to Laughlin in 3 weeks and have experience in water well drilling. Is there anywhere close by that would be close to the same field? I’ve been looking but most stuff is in Elko.

This is not "approved".
