Beautiful Nevada

This video extolling the beauty of Arizona crossed my virtual desk courtesy of a friend. It's a fine video and Arizona is certainly a fine state.

But it reminded me of just how beautiful Nevada is. I drove 1,800 miles over Memorial Day weekend, most of it in remote parts of Nevada. Here's a few pictures from the trip. I don't do it justice with my little Blackberry camera, but trust me, when it comes to natural beauty Nevada stands tall with all of its neighboring states.

Maybe someone ought to do a video like this Arizona video. Maybe someone already has. Please forward if you know of one.
