Here are some more pics from our trip to pilot valley nevada.

Pilot Valley Nevada

Ok back from vacation in nevadas pilot valley. What a beautiful place it's like being in a post card. The local population wave and smile when they pass; the sky is blue as blue can be and the air is clean and fresh. We found no less than four eagle nests, mountain lion prints lust beyond our camp site on our land, prong horned antelope, and wild horses. Also cows and more cows, free range from a local rancher and hundreds of little lizards.

It's very windy in the valley, enough that it shook our van quite a bit so we will be "planting" our camper in a dugout parking place to help stablize it. The valley its self is dry but in west wendover the local smiths grocery has water in five gallon jugs and one gallon jugs. Along with blue rhino propane.

We found two grocery stores, a hardware store, several fast food resturants, a pawn store, and of course several casinos.

Following pilot valley road up to first street the traveling is smooth and fast but once you pass first street it becomes very rough and almost untravelable. So saying that the best way to montello is 80 to 233 which makes it very much out of the way. Saying that most of our business will be done in wendover.

Anyone interested in more pictures shoot us an email and we will be happy to share what we have as we took lots while we were out there.

Those of you buying land in the valley just know to be prepaired for a rough start but it will be worth it in the end if you stick with it and give it your all.

Composting

Realizing the need for an adequate means to dispose of organic waste which can not be recycled we will be composting everything we can. The goal of course is not to produce any "real" trash that we would have to transport to a landfill. I beleive the time for this practice of buring our "trash" has come to an end. If you could imagine your weekly garbage piled up for a year and then look at the size of your city and imagine that! Well don't stop there the whole country and the world is producing just as much.

Now having that image in your head consider this... The water you drink is nothing more than filtered ground water. Bad enough we have to put chemicals in our water to kill the bacteria from the sewage now some of the water is, once rain, has first filtered through this nasty mess. Bottoms up.

So in light of this though it may not seem like much we will be building a compost bin. Though purchasing one seems simplest it is also a waste of money. Do a little research first. I have found that at there most complicated they are just drums with holes drilled in them and a hinged door. There are simply to many ways to build them to list here but it really is easier and more ecofriendly to build it yourself.
