MUSIC.

>>Chris Orr: Hi, welcome to Wild Nevada.

I'm Chris Orr.

>>Dave Santina: And, I'm Dave Santina and we're starting our trip this time in the place that has been called "The Best Small Town in America" - Elko.

Now, maybe you know Elko for the National Basque Festival or for the annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering, but Elko is more than just the occasional event.

For example, Cowboy Poetry has a home here in the Western Folklife Center which is inside the old Pioneer Hotel.

And, o of the oldest saddleries in the state, Caprioli's, is located here along with a number of historic buildings like Sherman Station, which was built in 1903 about 60 miles south of here, and was moved to Elko almost a hundred years later.

Today, it serves as Elko's Chamber of Commerce.

>>Chris: Elko is now known for thriving mining and ranching industries, but the foundation for the community is actually as a transportation center.

The wagon trains on the Emigrant Trail used to stop here as they followed the Humboldt River into California.

And, the town itself was established in 1868 by the first transcontinental rail line, The Central Pacific Railroad.

The area also served as a major junction for a number of stage lines and the Pony Express.

With its history as a travel hub it makes a perfect place for us to begin this show's adventure.

>>Dave: You're really gonna love the scenery in this part of the state.

If you're a bird watcher, you'll enjoy our visit to see the waterfowl and aá spring cave at the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Reserve.

>>Chris: We'll follow the beautiful Ruby Mountains to our night's destination, Lamoille.

And, tomorrow we'll take you to my favorite place in the state, Lamoille Canyon, where we're gonna hike one of the many trails in the forest.

>>Dave: From Elko, we're taking Highway 228 South to the South Fork State Recreation Area.

Then, we'll continue south to Ruby Lake National Wildlife Reserve and then turn north, follow a gravel road which will pick up State Route 229 around to our destination for the night, Lamoille.

Tomorrow, into the canyon for our hike.

>>Chris: I'm anxious to see the Rubies and I'm sure you are, too.

>>Dave: Yeah.

>>Chris: But, right now, we're gonna do some fishing at the South Fork Reservoir.

MUSIC >>Dave: We head out of Elko and take State Route 227 south for 7 miles, then we switch to State Route 228 going around the west side of the Ruby Mountains.

This road runs near the route of the old telegraph road which was used in the late 1860's to bring food south to the mining camps of Eureka and Hamilton, and to return with bullion from the mines.

>>Chris: We don't have far to go, only a few miles.

And, after a short while we see the reservoir in the distance.

Though the water level is low during our visit, the reservoir is still a popular fishing spot.

In addition to water fun, the South Fork State Recreation Area also offers camping and wildlife viewing.

>>Dave: The boat launch is at the north end of the reservoir.

We arrive to find the guys from Currant Creek Outfitters already waiting for us.

>>Chris: (Laughing) >>Dave: (Laughing) Hi, Jerry.

>>Jerry Stager: Nice to meet you, by golly.

>>Dave: Thanks for meeting us out here, I appreciate it.

Riley.

>>Riley Mazonie: Nice to meet you.

>>Jerry: Nice to meet you Chris.

>>Chris: Very nice to meet you.

>>Mike Stager: Mornin', Dave.

>>Dave: We're goin' in this boat here?

>>Dave: Jerry Stager has a wealth of experience as a duck hunting, coyote calling and fishing guide.

He and his crew plan to give us a trip to remember.

>>Chris: Now, your job, Dave, is to not to tip the boat.

>>Dave: (Chuckles) All right.

>>Chris: Can you do that?

>>Dave: My job is to not do something.

>>Chris: Right.

MUSIC/BOAT MOTOR >>Jerry: What we use, now these are spinning rods, they're six-and-a-half foot and, um, most of them have Mitchell reels.

We use fire line, about 8 pound test fire line... (VOICE FADES) >>Dave: What kind of fish are we waitin' for here?

>>Jerry: These are trout.

>>Dave: Trout.

>>Jerry: Hopefully.

>>Dave: What else can you find in this reservoir?

>>Jerry: Uh, there are bass, both largemouth and smallmouth in this lake.

And, uh, but we're fishing right now for trout.

The Elko Free Press wanted to do a story on us.

And, so they sent their, one of their writers out.

But, the very first paragraph in the article that he did was, "Don't think that you're hallucinating if you're hearing polkas playing on South Fork," because that's... >>Chris: (Laughs) >>Jerry: ... uh, that's what we do when we, when we catch a fish, so... >>Dave: So, what do you do while you're waitin' for the fish?

>>Jerry: We usually eat, drink and be merry.

>>Chris: (Laughs) See, this is my kinda sport.

I'm tellin' ya.

Fishing is my kinda sport.

>>Jerry: On to the next good spot, huh?

SPLASH >>Chris: Hey!

>>Dave: Hey, you got somethin'!

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Jerry: Okay, don't reel any faster.

Let him fight for a little bit.

>>Dave: You got somethin'!

>>Jerry: Way to go!

Way to go!

>>Dave: That's no, uh... POLKA MUSIC BEGINS >>Dave: ...(Laughs) We got the music!

Aayyyy!

>>Jerry: Yee haw!

>>Dave: Hey, look at that!

All right!

You got one.

>>Jerry: No, don't reel him anymore.

Just bring him toward me.

>>Dave: Right there.

Bring him over.

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Dave: Yaaaaay!

>>Chris: Yaaaaay!

>>Dave: Nice job!

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Dave: Way to go!

>>Chris: I caught a fish!

(Laughs) >>Dave: Nice!

>>Chris: It's almost like I knew what I was doin'.

>>Dave: Almost.

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Jerry: Now, you're gonna release.

We're gonna release this fish.

And let him go very slowly.

Make sure he's okay.

Lean right over the boat.

The boat won't tip over.

>>Chris: There he goes.

>>Dave: He's swimmin'?

>>Chris: He's swimmin'.

>>Chris: Jerry takes us back to the launch where we thank him for a very enjoyable morning.

>>Dave: After leaving South Fork, we follow the range south to the Ruby Marshes.

Along the way, we pass through Mound Valley and the very small community of Jiggs.

This area has had a few names in its history including Skelton and Hilton, but local ranchers finally settled on the name Jiggs after a popular comic strip of the day.

Mound Valley, by the way, was the setting for the hideout of outlaw King Fisher in Zane Gray's Western novels.

Unfortunately, we don't have time to stop and explore today, but you might like to have a soda and look around a bit when you come through.

>>Chris: About 15 miles from the Ruby Lakes Refuge the pavement ends.

It'll be dirt road from here on in, but that allows us the chance to slow down and really enjoy the beauty in this area.

We cross over the southern end of the Rubies at Harrison Pass.

Hikers will want to stop here and enjoy searching for the nearby Granite Arch.

Today, though, we stay on the road and continue our descent from Harrison Pass following the signs to the Refuge.

>>Dave: Wildlife biologist Jeff Mackie greets us at the Refuge headquarters and we head out first on foot for a look at all the Ruby Lakes has to offer.

>>Chris: Hi, Jeff.

>>Jeff Mackay: Hi, Chris.

>>Chris: Nice to see you.

>>Jeff: Hi, Dave.

>>Dave: Thanks for meetin' us.

>>Jeff: Welcome to Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

>>Dave: Ah, it's beautiful.

Where ya wanna take us?

>>Jeff: Well, since we're here at the headquarters, let's go up and look at Cave Creek Cave.

>>Dave: Okay.

>>Chris: Okay.

>>Dave: This is, um, a well known cave, isn't it?

>>Jeff: It is.

It's the, uh, most famous cave in Nevada or one of the most famous caves in Nevada, uh, just since, because of the amount of water that flows out of it during its, its peak flow.

>>Chris: Now, where does the water go that flows out of it?

>>Jeff: It flows on to the marsh.

>>Dave: This is a spring-fed marsh.

>>Jeff: Spring-fed marsh, yes.

There's, uh, over 164 caves, or, actually springs on the marsh.

Uh, and it's the only water source for the marsh itself.

>>Dave: Okay.

>>Chris: So, Ruby Lake, is it actually a lake or is it a marsh?

>>Jeff: It's really a marsh.

It's, uh, been called a lake for many, many years, but, uh, it's actually, biologically, it's a marsh.

>>Chris: So, now where does the water come from that comes through the cave?

>>Jeff: Well, the mountain acts as an aquifer here.

It's, uh, made of limestone.

Of course, limestone is very porous and with each snow melt that we - or snow that we get during the wintertime ends up melting into the mountain substrate, uh, which is different from the north end of the Ruby Mountains and which is, they're mostly quartz and, and right and, uh, during the, uh, springtime that water melts and, of course, runs off and you have numerous creeks.

>>Dave: Yeah.

>>Jeff: Um, so this is all, all mountain snow pack that comes from both the west and the east sides of these mountains.

>>Chris: These look like they're real young aspen in here.

>>Jeff: Yes, this is regeneration from the, uh, the fire, uh, in 1979 when about 9,000 acres burned on the east Rubies in the South Ruby Valley.

Um, this is actually a healthy, uh, stand of plants here.

The aspen is fire-dependent and over so many years they tend to become stunted and they grow porty, so fire is, is essential for healthy basking communities.

Um, this, this community is doing quite well, as you can see, from the extent of the, the trees.

>>Chris: Mm, hmm.

>>Dave: Sounds like a lot of water comin' out.

>>Jeff: This is a low flow compared to the spring flows.

Uh, right now we're probably getting about maybe 5 or 6 cubic feet per second.

Springtime, during the, the peak flows, uh, we get about 35 cubic feet per second, which is quite a bit of water.

And, when it flows out during the, uh, peak period it actually arcs over the, those water control structures and, uh, of course, meanders down the creek.

And, you can't hear yourself talk.

That's how loud it is.

It's a roar.

>>Dave: Incredible.

>>Chris: And, does it ever freeze over in the winter?

>>Jeff: Uh, not up here.

Uh, it comes out of the cave at about 45 degrees and, uh, as it meanders down to the marsh I'm sure it cools down and, and further down away from, from the, uh, the cave itself it might freeze on the surface, but underneath the water's always flowing.

RUSHING WATER There's other things of, uh, of uniqueness out here on the Refuge, so let's, uh, take off and go, go look at those things.

>>Dave: Love that sound, you know?

I could hear that all day.

>>Jeff: Yeah, it's that water.

>>Dave: That rushing water.

>>Chris: From the cave it's a short scenic drive to Pressman Cabin.

Jacob Pressman settled here in 1880.

Though his family, discouraged by the area's remoteness, chose to return to town, he remained harvesting timber for the railroad.

MUSIC.

>>Jeff: This is what the marsh looks like without water.

Um, given our present drought situation, uh, we have some dry units on the Refuge.

But, of course, this'll be ideal habitat once it's flooded.

Um, the Refuge hosts about 235 species of birds and, uh, oh, probably lesser, much lesser amounts of mammals, up to about 25 species of mammals.

Um, the Refuge was established primarily for birds, uh... >>Chris: Now, I'm hearing some warblers.

So, it's, it's also other birds in addition to waterfowl.

>>Jeff: Right.

We have, uh, we have a, uh, in fact, we have a higher number of songbirds than we do the waterfowl.

Um, yeah, waterfowl just represent a, a small portion of the, the number of bird species we have here.

That's a Marsh Wren in the background.

Um, this is ideal habitat for Marsh Wrens.

We also have Yellow-headed Blackbirds here, they're a marsh species.

Uh, Sand Hill Cranes, we have a large, um, breeding population of Sand Hill Cranes.

They, they winter here - or, uh, breed here and then winter down south in the, along the Colorado River.

Um, we have egrets and herons, uh, ibis, uh, we have lots of other sparrow species.

We have the Sage Sparrow.

We have, uh, thrashers, uh, we also have Sage Grouse.

And, they are a resident species that stays here year round.

>>Dave: There's much more to see here, but we have to get on the road to Lamoille now if we're gonna make it before dark.

We're going north this time to join State Route 229 on the east side of the Rubies.

>>Chris: It's a scenic drive through the Ruby Valley.

Farms and ranch land spread out around us.

The landscape is dotted with houses and hay barns.

Drivers smile and wave as they pass by, a friendly gesture that seems natural in this peaceful setting.

The miles add up and the shadows grow long as we near Lamoille.

With the sun behind it, the Ruby Mountain Range offers spectacular views of its many rocky peaks and colorful canyons.

>>Dave: We cross Secret Pass at the northern point of the range and start the last leg of our day's journey.

No one seems to know for sure where the name Ruby Mountains came from.

One story says that early gold panners here mistook the garnets they found for rubies and named the range for them.

But, as the sunset casts its final light upon the rock, the more popular explanation becomes apparent.

After our long day, Lamoille is a welcome sight.

We're only 20 miles from Elko, but we got here the long way.

No one should have trouble sleeping tonight.

>>Chris: It's a beautiful fall morning and we're ready to begin Day #2 of our adventure.

I'm really looking forward to our afternoon hike in Lamoille Canyon.

>>Dave: Yeah, me, too.

But, first we're gonna take a tour of the picturesque community of Lamoille.

>>Chris: Sharon Reynolds is a Step On tour guide as well as a resident of Lamoille.

That makes her the perfect person to introduce us to the town.

>>Dave: Hey, buddy.

>>Sharon Reynolds: My man, Kona.

>>Dave: Kona.

Kona's a pretty dog.

>>Sharon: So, anyway, this is where I work.

This is The Gallery.

It's a, an antique store here in Lamoille and... >>Chris: You've got a great collection of wagon wheels.

>>Sharon: Yeah.

"Paint Your Wagons" has become my favorite song lately.

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Sharon: And, we're pretty casual here.

The dog can go shopping.

>>Dave: Oh, good.

Then that means they'll let me in, too.

>>Sharon: (Laughs) Yeah, I don't know about you.

You might have to wait outside.

>>Chris: Well, maybe.

Wipe your feet, though.

>>Dave: All right.

>>Sharon: Hi, Marsha.

>>Marsha: Hello.

>>Chris: Hi, there.

>>Dave: Hi.

>>Sharon: Brought some people to look around with us.

Okay.

Let me show you my favorite stuff over here.

>>Chris: Okay.

>>Sharon: Some old, uh, saddles.

>>Dave: Around this way?

>>Sharon: C'mere, Kona.

C'mon, boy.

>>Chris: Oh, wow!

(Laughs) >>Sharon: We have a U.S.

Calvary saddle.

>>Dave: Wow.

>>Sharon: That one's nice and soft.

(Laughs) >>Dave: Used, used back in the, in the old days.

>>Chris: Talk about saddle sore, that would do it for you.

(Laughs) >>Dave: That's pretty tough.

>>Sharon: Actually, um, there was an old fort just down the valley here, Fort Hallick, and who knows, I mean, this could've been one of the saddles they were ridin' on.

>>Dave: Wow.

>>Sharon: Yeah, they were pretty tough back then, weren't they?

And, this is a J.S.

Garcia.

An original, yeah.

>>Dave: That's the designer of the saddle?

>>Sharon: Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, Garcia, um, bits and spurs is, they make, they're one of the most famous saddle makers in the world.

>>Dave: Ah, okay.

>>Sharon: Yeah.

>>Chris: They're still making saddles, aren't they?

>>Sharon: They are at, um, Capriola's in Elko, yeah, they're still makin' 'em by hand, one at a time.

And this one, gol, looks it's be a, it'd keep you in there good, wouldn't it?

Got a high canter on it.

I don't think... >>Dave: The "security" saddle.

>>Sharon: (Laughs) >>Dave: Maybe that was the baby saddle.

>>Sharon: And, then they tied you in the seat belt with it.

(Laughs) That's the kind I need.

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Dave: These are amazing.

>>Sharon: Yeah, these are probably close to a hundred years old, I'd think.

>>Dave: Do they make saddles in different sizes?

>>Sharon: They do.

There's like a 14 inch tree.

A tree is the under part on the actual frame.

>>Dave: Mm.

>>Sharon: So, there's 14-inch trees, 13-inch trees, 17-inch trees.

>>Chris: Yeah.

And, then, the, seat... >>Sharon: And, then depending on the use of the saddle, you know, there's roping saddles and, um, you know, what they're gonna be used for, there's different styles.

>>Sharon: So, anyway, I guess we'll go for a little walk now.

>>Chris: That'd be great.

>>Sharon: Lamoille's not very big.

You could walk around it in about 15 minutes, (laughs) total.

>>Chris: It's a real nice little community, though.

>>Sharon: Yeah.

I think it's like any small town in, uh, in Nevada, you know.

Um, it's, there's a lot of the rugged individualism that everybody talks about and, um, some really amazing characters and, uh... >>Dave: Sharon, this is such a pretty little town.

How long has it been around?

>>Sharon: Um, Lamoille was settled originally in about 1865.

A couple of guys rode up from Eureka and this was a major, uh, traffic area for the wagon trains that were going west.

They, uh, they'd, um, come along the foot of the Rubies.

>>Dave: Mm, hmm.

>>Sharon: And, feed their herds and, and rest, you know, 'cause of the water and it was lush and plenty of feed here.

And, they decided - and then they would sort of meet here at this area, Lamoille area, and head to Elko from here.

So, um, and it was called "The Crossroads" back then.

So, these two guys thought it might be a good place to put a bar and a store.

And, they were right.

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Dave: (Laughs) >>Chris: So, how did the name get changed from Crossroads to Lamoille?

>>Sharon: Well, um, one of the original, um, um, explorers that came through here thought it reminded him of his, uh, his home county, uh, Lamoille, Vermont.

Lamoille County, Vermont.

>>Dave: Okay.

>>Sharon: So, he named it after that which actually, I understand that Lamoille is a misspelling.

>>Dave: Really?

>>Sharon: Somebody forgot to cross the "T"s and it's supposed to be Lamotte.

>>Dave: (Laughs) >>Sharon: Which means waterfowl or something.

But, um, anyway, yeah, so he named it Lamoille.

But, the church is still called The Little Church of the Crossroads.

And, this is the old schoolhouse.

>>Chris: Mm, hmm.

>>Sharon: It was closed down in the 19, early 1960's and they started busing the kids to town.

>>Dave: Hmm.

>>Sharon: But, um... >>Chris: I was gonna say, where do the kids go to school?

>>Sharon: Yeah, they're bussed to either Spring Creek or to Elko now.

But, um... >>Dave: Do they still use this building?

>>Sharon: Yeah, they use it for, um, bazaars.

We have dances here.

Fund raising events.

Um, an occasional wake or a wedding.

Um, it gets quite a bit of use, actually.

And, every year, um, they have a steak feed as a fundraiser to re-roof it or, you know, whatever.

And, and these are things that you don't wanna miss because the women in Lamoille Valley make pies and cakes to die for.

>>Dave: (Laughs) >>Chris: (Laughs) >>Sharon: If, if nothing else, that's a reason to come just to get one of, uh, Ella Mae Boteri's pies.

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Dave: (Laughs) >>Sharon: That would be worth driving from, uh, any part of Nevada for.

>>Dave: (Laughs) >>Sharon: This is, um, The Little Church of the Crossroads, it's called.

This was built in the early 1900's, 1914, I think.

Until then, church had been held in just some of the, um, the homes around the community.

But, these are the original stained glass windows.

And, um, I believe the original pews are still in.

>>Chris: It's a beautiful church.

>>Sharon: Yeah, they say it's the most photographed church in Nevada.

>>Dave: I don't doubt it.

Sharon, what is it that makes Lamoille a great destination for people?

>>Sharon: Well, I think, um, probably the year-round recreational opportunities around here like wildlife viewing and fishing, hunting, and just general hiking and, and it's beautiful.

You know, like I said any time of year, every year, every season is different.

There's always something else to do and, uh, and it's always beautiful.

>>Chris: You know, we really, I've noticed that people are so friendly here.

>>Sharon: Yeah, that's a great thing, too.

You know, we love people to come and visit us.

We do.

We get people... (voice fades) >>Dave: Sharon gave us a real sense of the history and lifestyle of the people of Lamoille.

Now, we look forward to what nature has in store for us at Lamoille Canyon.

>>Chris: We meet staff officer, John Haney, at the ranger station in Lamoille.

We'll join him in his vehicle for the drive into the canyon.

MUSIC >>Dave: The Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway is about 13 miles of pure natural artistry.

We've come at a great time.

The colors along the canyon walls are incredible.

Interpretive stops along the road teach visitors about the geology of the canyon.

There are picnic areas along the road and one campground.

MUSIC >>Chris: The drive into Lamoille Canyon is one of the most beautiful in the West.

And, one of Nevada's crown jewels.

The canyon offers a multitude of breathtaking views.

It's spectacle is a treat for photographers, hikers, campers or just about anyone who appreciates a bit of mountain scenery.

It's hard to deny that Lamoille Canyon is a natural masterpiece.

MUSIC >>Chris: Thank you, sir.

>>John Haney: You're welcome.

Well, we're here at Road's End.

It's elevation about 8,800 feet.

There's three major trailheads here.

Uh, this is actually the, the one portal to the 40 mile long Ruby Crest National Recreation Trail.

And, it, uh, gets a lot of use, especially the first couple of miles of it.

>>Dave: (Chuckles) Which one are we headin' out on today?

>>John: We're gonna go up, uh, what we call the Stock Trail.

As you might imagine, out of Road's End here, there's quite a bit of, uh, activity up here, so we constructed another trail... >>Dave: Mm, hmm.

>>John: ... to kind of separate users and avoid those conflicts.

>>Dave: We've got a lot of beautiful colors out.

Are these all the same trees?

>>John: Well, you guys hit it just about perfect.

Uh, most of the, the color you see up here is quaking aspen.

We're walking through a patch of willows right now.

But, there's all kind of underbrush that, uh, turns various colors.

>>Chris: How many miles of hiking trails do you think you guys have up here in the Rubies?

>>John: Uh, we have over 350 miles.

>>Chris: Wow!

>>John: Uh, and it's maintained to various levels.

Um, this particular trail has a fairly high level of maintenance.

Some of our other trails, uh, are basically if you can find it, that's... >>Chris: (laughs) >>John: ...that's the challenge, you know.

So, we have, uh, trails of various challenge levels.

One of the things I really think's incredible about the canyon is it offers, uh, access for nearly everybody.

So, you don't have to be, a real hearty backpacker or whatever to get up here and enjoy this.

You know, really the two most beautiful times of the year up in the Lamoille Canyon are, are this time of the year when you have the fall colors and then in the spring, everything's really green in the spring.

And, there's a lot of water flowin', waterfalls everywhere.

Uh, the mountain sheep and the mountain goats have, uh, not gone up to their summer range yet.

And, you can see 'em down low.

It's quite an experience.

>>Chris: How was Lamoille Canyon formed?

>>John: Well, the Rubies were, were an uplift and the, and the west side that we came up, uh, is actually kinda the gentle side.

And, then the canyon itself is a product of, uh, glaciation and the down-cutting, of course, of, of the creeks.

>>Chris: The canyons then were actually cut as the glaciers melted?

>>John: Uh, the glaciers actually moved across the landscape scouring out, uh, these glacial bowls that you see up above you.

>>Dave: So, they just pushed out everything in their way.

>>John: That's correct.

Well, we're comin' close to a point, uh, up here where I think we can kinda pull over and, and get on a vantage point and look down the canyon.

>>Chris: That'd be great.

>>Dave: It's not a bad lookin' place around here.

>>Dave: Whoa.

>>Chris: Oh, that's gorgeous.

>>John: There you are.

>>Dave: That's worth hikin' a little bit, huh?

>>Chris: (Laughs) >>Dave: That is amazing.

>>Dave: The Rubies have 10 peaks over 10,000 feet high and many alpine lakes to attract hikers.

The trails through the mountains seem endless.

The Ruby Crest National Scenic Trail begins at the end of the scenic byway and runs 40 miles south to Harrison Pass.

That trail's generally open from June through September.

If you plan to take on that one, give yourself at least four days to finish it.

>>Chris: We've only scratched the surface of what the Rubies offer.

This is a place where you can always come back and see something new and breathtaking.

>>Chris: This is one of those trips that you hate to see end.

We had a great time fishing with the Currant Creek Outfitters out at the South Fork Reservoir.

I even caught a fish, so you know they're good.

>>Dave: (Laughs) I really enjoyed the Ruby Marshes with the wildlife and I really look forward someday to coming back and hearing that spring runoff roaring out of that cave.

>>Chris: Lamoille is perfect if you are looking for a high desert getaway and it doesn't get much prettier than Lamoille Canyon.

>>Dave: For more on this and all of our shows, go to our website, our companion website at knpb.org.

And, while you're there, drop us an e-mail and suggest a future adventure for us.

>>Chris: Until the next Wild Nevada, go enjoy our beautiful state.

MUSIC.

>>Dave: Here we go, Jerry-style, swirl and throw.... and it didn't go anywhere... what just happened?

>>Jerry: Ohh, what a long cast.

You broke the line.

>>Dave: I broke the line.

I BROKE THE LINE!!
