When we are on vacation driving form one location to our next stop I will use
tools like tripadvisor or AAA web site to locate areas of interest in order
that we not just drive non-stop. Then I use Tripadvisor to look for places to
eat in advance. There was only one place listed in Picohe and that was the
Silver Cafe so that was it. The food was pretty good but what impresses us
more was the museums and the old town look and feel in Pioche. |

This picture is inside the Lincoln County Courthouse. There are other
interesting things to see it this small town in Nevada. We ended up spending
a couple of hours here. Karen is actually sitting in with the rest of the jury
in this photo. But sssh don't tell her I posted her picture or I will be in
trouble. |

Next stop was Cathedral Gorge state park, found on trip advisor, but a woman
at the court house in Pioche gave us a lot more information on it so we knew
it was another stop. There are little slot canyons like the picture in the
lower left. This is very similar to a picture I took in an area at Bryce
Canyon National Park called Wall Street. The difference it this is very
narrow only 2 feet wide while the one at Bryce was 20 feet wide. Then here
you can just get out of your car and walk right into the slot where at Bryce
you have a long hike. Our destination for the day is Rachel Nevada and area
51 so we did not have a lot of time to spend here. |
