Back in February I was flying into Vegas, and as we crossed into Nevada, I was looking out the window, and all you could see was just mountains and emptiness. And then I realized, Nevada is one of those states that everybody kinda forgets about. I mean ask anybody what they know about Nevada besides Area 51 and Vegas, and well… they don’t… know… ANYTHING. Even on my scratch map of states I’ve visited, I’ve been to every state out west EXCEPT Nevada… And that got me wondering - what’s actually there? What’s actually IN all that emptiness?
