ELY NV ????

So I may be moving to Ely NV begining of 2013, if the world doesnt end in December . I may be taking a job as a CO. Anything fun to do out of or around Ely?? places to go snowboarding? Anybody close by?

thanks fellas

a pic of the truck on that boring 50

 

have fun with that not much in ELY at all but Vegas is close. I would think the closest snowboarding would be Utah.

 

think there's some good places to wheel out there I know they have some races near Caliente, haven't ventured there yet but passed by . From what I know its not far from Utah, plenty of boarding there

 

You got the Ruby mtns, some great snow there. Buy a mtn bike, a bottle opener and a cooler for your beer cause not much else to do......BUT 4 WHEEL!!!
I used to live in Austin on hwy 50 for 2 years when I was alot younger. GREAT 4 wheeling out there. get up into the Toyabe's and see whats out there. Saw the biggest black tail deer ever, thought it was an Elk.
If you like the outdoors you'll like it there.

 

My brother is a CO in Ely, I usually visit him a couple times a year, I can tell you a fair amount about it. There are a lot of Tacoma's there, but I don't think any of them are TW'ers.

Rob pretty much summed it up. Great mountain biking, great 4 wheeling, great hunting(I think). You can pretty much hop on a 4 wheeler from your back yard and have endless riding.

 

well that doesnt sound too bad at all! I love the outdoors! fishing, offroading, and exploring! i wont be visiting vegas much, i have a 2 year old and its really not my thing. rather kick my feet up with a cooler full of beer. haha.

brett, how long has your bro been a CO for? does he like it?

Rardigo, my fiance and i were joking that the population in austin is 10 people. man that town is tiny

 

I like Ely.

 

it may take some time to get use to. but im sure we will be fine. Im sure its a better place than South Sacramento to raise my son. And i can teach him to shoot a gun at the age of 3! lol jk

one thing i wont miss is the stupid drivers in cali

 

Yeah I worked for the Forest Service then, back in 86-88. I was 16 when I started but it was great. There were like 530 there then, havent been back since though. It fun out there if your into that kind of stuff.

 

right on bro! Im excited, nervous, anxious, all of the above..haha

 

how was life groing up there? gangs? drugs? theft?

 

Pretty small town mentality, you're WAY off the beaten path so you won't have a lot of those issues.

Just remember Ely is a Northern Nevadan small mining town so, FUNLV and F Reid, and leave Cali in the rear view mirror my friend.

 

haha, yes sir! thanks for the info man, i appreciate it. Its gonna be a new chapter in my life thats for sure

 

Come on by 775 tacomas there's a bunch of us locals there!
As some others said buy a mountain bike killer trails in ely and some kickass hunting to

 

awesome! I think im going to really enjoy it out there!! hope to meet some of you guys as well
