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.

  1. Hey Michaels! Looks like I missed your trip. I am sad to have missed you but happy to hear you had a good time. Next time you come out let me know how to visit or get a hold of you. Your just 15 minutes down Pilot Road from us so I can zoom down and see you. Im real glad your out here and wish you all the best. Im excited out the earthbag construction and decided Im going to do all my barn in earthbag. Its easier than tires and I think probably worth the additional expense of cement and bags. I look forward to meeting you both in person.
