Nevada Warnings Or Dangers Tips by mtncorg Top 5 Page for this destination

OPEN RANGE

When a sign has a picture of a cow and something like 'NEXT 56 MILES' below, beware. Cows can be found when you least expect them wandering across the road. People in Nevada - especially rural Nevada - tend to be libertarian in spirit and that goes for speed limits, too. They just don't mean much except in small towns - and along US 95 - where they are a source of income = speed trap. Take care, however in open range country because hitting a cow at high speed can definitely ruin your day, to say nothing for the cow.

NO RADIO

When you are out driving along the backroads of Nevada, you quickly get the impression of emptiness. This is Great Basin country at its utmost. There are very few people living out here - though, even if there were, there wouldn't be much room for them to live as most of the country is federally owned. The country becomes more alive with good map-reading skills and a nice selection of CD's .... the radio selection can be very limited!
