Greetings, and welcome!!
Sometime during 1999 or 2000,
I read an article in the Appeal that told how a Historical Marker
was lost due to construction of a nearby golf course. So, I set
out to make a photographic record of all the state markers.
There can't be that many, right?
This was before I began exploring
this beautiful state, before I even cared about it's rich history
and colorful past, before I knew the difference between Elko,
Eureka, and Ely and towns with nams like Panaca, Pioche, and
Pahrump were exotic, far off, places.
There can be that many!!
5 years later I'm beginning
to close in on my goal. I know of 260+ markers, and I have photos
of just over 200 of them. Maybe 210.
My interest was re-ignited
when a Vegas-based cacher named LongWalker created a locationless
cache for all the Markers. Later, when locationless caches were
exiled to WayMarks, a Reno cacher named grimmie began creating
the SHM series. Now I'm determined to finish this project.
If you want to see the State's
Official Site for these, you can go here: Nevada's
Historical Markers.
