I snuck a peek at the site on monday before I left Nevada and saw the new challenge.  I didn't have much time to take all the photos I could've, while in my home town, and the ones I did take aren't that good, most are drive by shooting.  But here goes.  

I was born in Orange, CA, but moved to Gardnerville, NV when I was 9.  Nevada will always be my home.  

I loved the house I lived most of my life in, DeanHouse (it was red when I lived in it) I even rented it from my dad when he got remarried and moved.  

I spent most of my time in the barn DeanBarn, which I helped my dad build.  It was full of great memories, times with my horses.  I loved the smell and the sounds, and would sit out there for hours.

I loved to hang out at Sharkey's Casino Sharkeys they had video games and great hot chocolate.

Bently's is where my mom worked for many years, and I ended up working there for 5 years before I moved here to IL.  I would probably still be there if I hadn't moved.

My favorite views are of the Carson Valley, this is from Kingsbury Grade coming down from Lake Tahoe, Carson Valley and there are scenes like this all around the valley, CarsonValleyScene  

This is home and will always be.  I would love to move back there someday, just not sure I can talk the rest of my family to go with me.  :o)

Thanks for the great memories!  Have a wonderful weekend!  :o)
