6. Never been there but I recognized that right away

Some friends of mine in Durham used that as a background for a video they made.

10. Have you been there?

Lived in Carson and Washoe counties for 20 years :hi:

12. I lived just across the border from Esmeralda Cty NV in CA for a while decades ago

Hitch-hiked a tiny bit of NV: met some crazy prospectors, somebody driving an Atomic Energy Commission car who was on his way "to see how the ground shook" but freaked out when I mentioned bombs, an AWOL kid who was feeding himself by stealing munchies from Mom&Pop groceries as he tried to put distance between himself and his military base ...

Probably never got quite as far north as the Washoe Valley but the landscape in pictures looks familiar: the high meadows look like high meadows in the Inyo or in the Sierra and the low valleys look a lot like other places I saw in the region. It's beautiful country

5. Went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees...

Clarksdale, Mississippi - Where Robert Johnson traded his soul for guitar skills.

11. I found the perfect place to stay there, too!
