Great Basin National Park
Recorded June 3, 2019
Great Basin National Park is in eastern Nevada near the Utah border. It's in the Great Basin Desert and contains most of the South Snake mountains. In the north, the mountain-hugging Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive leads to towering Wheeler Peak. Nearby is one of several ancient bristlecone pine groves. The marble Lehman Caves have distinctive stalactites and other formations. Park wildlife includes bighorn sheep.

Great Basin National Park -- Adventure on America's Loneliest Road in Nevada
Great Basin National Park is a real stunner located on I50 -- America's Loneliest Road -- in Nevada's Basin and Range. The scenery ranges from the desert floor, to centuries old bristlecone pines, to pristine glacial lakes, to wonderful waterfalls, to a palatial glacial cirque, to towering mountaintops. The hikes vary from easy to strenuous. In fact, the Wheeler Peak hike looks easy until you're actually on the trail. After a mile, the surface becomes broken rock, then (at least when we were there in July) a little snow. The last mile of very sharp switchbacks take you straight up to the peak. The reward, as you'll see in this video, is enormously worth it, but it's best for people who are fit and can cope with the reduced oxygen at 13,159 feet. When you visit, absolutely set aside time for the Lehman Cave tour, too. The stalactites, stalagmites and shield formations rival the finest sculpture and the park service tour guides are cheery and knowledgable. Camping in Great Basin National Park was a thrill that we plan to repeat next summer and every time we find ourselves on America's Loneliest Road. Larry Richardson created this video for RichardsonArtPhotographyStore.com using an iPhone 7 and iMovie.

At the south end of the Great Basin National park is the Lexington Arch Area, a great hike with breathtaking views.
Great Basin National Park
After having spent the weekend in Vegas, we set off on October 2nd towards Utah. We stopped in the small town of Caliante NV, and found an RV park with petrol, shop and restaurant on the Nevada / Utah border on the highway 50 near the town of Baker for the night. Spent most of October 3rd 2017 in the mountains of Great Basin National Park, with amazing views of the valley and Pyramid Peak before continuing east towards Capitol Reef.
Great Basin National Park Trip 2010 and 2012
A pretty much unknown national park. It contains Lehman Caves which are some of the best formations I have seen. The great thing is most of the formations are within touching distance. It has great hiking up to two lakes (Stella and Teresa). The hike begins at over 10,000 feet. So very thin air, but great scenery. The town of Ely, Nevada has a cute casino/steakhouse...the jailhouse. A lot of fun! Also near Ely are the Ward Charcoal Ovens, which is where they used to make charcoal in the late 1800s (the ovens are ALL still in perfect condition)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Great Basin National Park is an American national park located in White Pine County in east-central Nevada, near the Utah border, established in 1986. The park is most commonly entered by way of Nevada State Route 488, which is connected to U.S. Routes 6 and 50 by Nevada State Route 487 via the small town of Baker, the closest settlement.
The park derives its name from the Great Basin, the dry and mountainous region between the Sierra Nevada and the Wasatch Mountains. Topographically, this area is known as the Basin and Range Province. The park is located about 290 miles (470 km) north of Las Vegas and protects 77,180 acres (31,230 ha).The park is notable for its groves of ancient bristlecone pines, the oldest known nonclonal organisms, and for the Lehman Caves at the base of 13,063-foot (3,982 m) Wheeler Peak. The peak is also home to Wheeler Peak Glacier, which is not the southernmost glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, though described as such by the National Geographic Society, since the Himalayan glaciers are much further south.
President Warren G. Harding created Lehman Caves National Monument by presidential proclamation on January 24, 1922. The monument was redesignated a national park on October 27, 1986. A number of developed campsites are within the park, as well as excellent backcountry camping opportunities. The Highland Ridge Wilderness lies adjacent to Great Basin National Park. These two protected areas provide contiguous wildlife habitat and protection to 227.8 square miles (590.0 km2) of eastern Nevada's basin lands.
Climate Change: The Evidence and Our Options
Lonnie Thompson, distinguished university professor in the School of Earth Sciences and research scientist in the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University, provides some of the most convincing evidence of anthropogenic global warming. Thompson's lecture is supported by the Ida Cordelia Beam Distinguished Visiting Professorship.

Soaring in Ely,NV - first thermal of the day?
That's not the first thermal after a late takeoff at one of the best soaring days this season. Day startet really earlier, clouds are well developed and the cloud streets to the south are working pretty great. First leg down south to Lincoln County was a pleasure to fly. Then running west to Gabbs and NNE in the direction of Elko...will be continued...

When you take the behind the wheel test at the DMV, you need to be prepared. On the day of the driving test when it is your turn to take the test, you will have tp pull up to the test person. Who ever is accompanying you will have to get out the vehicle, and then the test person will proceed with the Pre-Drive Checklist:

SUMMARY
=======
This is a list of technology centers throughout the world. Governmental planners and business networks like to use the name silicon or valley to describe their own areas as a result of the success of Silicon Valley in California. Nevertheless, there are a few qualitative differences between these places, and metrics may be applied to measure their dominance.
These metrics include:
How much and to what extent public and/or private research and development funds are spent in the zones
What percentage of local employment is technology related.
If the zone is mainly government funded or is mainly corporate driven (or both)
If mainly corporate, how much revenue and profit and which corporates have headquarters there.
If mainly corporate, how much venture capital has been made available to companies in the zone.
What supporting higher educational institutions are located in nearby.
