Yes it is

I was over by them about a month ago. Only been kinda up in them in the early 90s on the east side doing business with a mine out of Kingston, Nevada. It's a pretty veiw going east on that big hill on 50 overlooking the valley below. We have a shop in Carlin and I'll be going to Yerington 4th week of July out along highway 50 to get there. Pretty peaceful country out in the center of Nevada it is.

I want to detect my in Carlin. There’s some great Sanborn maps from the 1880’s there. Some vacant lots where there used to be hotels.

I keep thinking of finding an old Elko Navada Coke bottle around there somewhere. They worth maybe as much as a couple grand. Yeah old town Carlin looks pretty run down. There's quite a few no longer existing ghost towns along the original trans continental railroad grade also, plus where your at around the town Austin might be a good place to detect. https://www.icollector.com/Premiere-Elko-Coca-Cola-Bottle-Elko-Nevada_i27256779

I could sure use a trip to Austin..hell, I'd live there if the Queen would
consider the move. Truth be told, with the disabilities she has it'd be
way to far from emergency medical care.

Still...doesn't hurt to dream about it....

I just spent the last ten days or so exploring this area, camped near the Hickison petroglyphs. The Toiyabe is a cool mountain range! Up near Winnemucca now.

I would suffer severely if I moved my lovie dove to a place like Austin, Nevada. Seems to me the place was kinda drying up from what it was years ago.

Beautiful pics! You are right. They are amazing views.

I stopped by for a moment at the Hickison site a few months ago. It is a nice looking campsite. I'll bet you'll see billions of stars on a moonless night from there. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/my-daily-snapshot/588430-long-trip-part-3-a.html

You're right Tamrock! Lots of stars. Was actually camped a way up the road from the actual campground. a lot of good hiking in this area, wild horses and burros wandering around too!

I did see a pretty large herd of ornery looking wild horses going along 50 a month ago. Never seen any Burros, but maybe I pass them and not notice. I believe they evolve into colors that closely mimic the terrain they lived in over generations and they become quite camouflaged.

That is just gorgeous
