Northern Elko County, Nevada
Salmon Falls River Area


Highway 93 runs north from Wells to Jackpot, where Ryan reports he had the best buffet style dinner of his entire life.


Downtown Wells, Nevada

A late February trip took Ryan and Erik on a drive into southern Idaho and then south through Jackpot, Nevada and on to the Salmon Falls River to try their luck at some early season fishing.

 


Fishing at Salmon Falls Creek in the late winter isn't productive... as Ryan can tell you. He did, however, pull out one 14 inch rainbow.


Another attempt later in the season may yield a much different outcome. We'll let you know.


Aside from the marginal fishing they experienced, they happened upon a few picture-worthy sights like this mysterious grave marker. We've seen a few of these in our travels... The untold stories can really get the imagination going.


Driving south toward Wells we stopped at a few places like this one to look around.


Maybe someone can tell us about this place...it appears that it was a resort hot-springs as there are numerous buildings and tubs remaining. We'd also be curious to hear the story behind the many scattered articles of little girls' clothing, all full of bullet holes...anyone?
