I'm sorry to hear that your wife was a casualty of the "Down Winders". I'm all too familiar with that as my FIL received a small settlement from that but he passed away after fighting cancer partially due to being a "Down Winder". My father worked at the test site for most of his career and only a few years ago died from brain cancer. I have no doubt that "Down Winders" had a part in his cancer too. :(

If you are willing to work and put in the effort, there are good jobs and even better opportunities will come your way. Attitude is everything. AND oh yeah, be ready to adjust to waking up between 3:30-4 am to make a commute to a mine site. Mining jobs generally pay very well, and the better you learn your trade the quicker you will advance. Don't show up in rural communities complaining and expecting a handout.

@@aytviewer2421 the good thing is, I’m an IT Director. I work remotely. Oh, and I’m extremely conservative. NOT a liberal.

@@IdahoEagle77 Rural communities tend to lean much more conservative than liberal. You have to be pretty self-sufficient and have a good head on your shoulders to make sure you can survive and thrive in such environments. People in rural communities will definitely lend someone a hand when needed, but they will not tolerate professional moochers and beggars. Take care.

with gold at $2000 Elko is a business hub

No, they do not have either one in Eureka.

Facts 😂

Probably the best place to park your mobile meth factory without permits and lowest taxes lol.

There is that, and it is legal there to boot. I personally have never been in one, but they are absolutely there and some of my single friends have shared their experiences with me. One of them used to say, "any port in a storm". I think he was crazy though!

East Wendover is on the Utah side, that's out of our area.

@@krisashdown5516 Interesting - Thx - Will visit🙋‍♂️

Utah laws.

You should come for a visit! How long ago was that and do you know which mine site? They give bus tours to some of the mine sites so you can get up close.

@@krisashdown5516 He was there about 8 years ago, he was a dump truck driver. Well defiantly want to go up there a visit, part of my Reno, Carson City, Elko tour. I want to take the train up the Donner Pass to Reno. Then just rent a car.

@@Moondoggy1941 If you're in California, you can take Amtrak from Sacramento straight to Elko. Takes about 14-15 hours if I recall. Very beautiful scenery coming through the Sierra Nevada range and then some fantastic long mile views of desert and sage brush. It's a relaxing ride.

@@aytviewer2421 Thanks, I will go on that trip. I just wish the Amtrak website was easier to use, maybe I will have my son figure it out for me.

Its not

@@rkpe6 you should have gone to college

Aint even close@@mcpr5971

There’s more to life than pizza. ( I hope)🫣

@@johnclaeys376 Hmmm, have to think on that.

You got that wrong. We always used say that Utah sucks and California blows. No wonder there is so much wind there at times.

Glad to see you stay out of it.

No. California does and Californians themselves too. And so does the overrated town Kingman.

Go to peppermill if you ever go again. Out of all the other casinos it has the best odds in your favor

tight??

California now has more Casinos than Nevada. Nevada gambling is hurting and needs more Californians to come and live away from the Mess in California. Californians waste a lot of money in those Indian Casinos that are ripping them off Big Time!

that's just slot machines in general

What's all this talk about attain cheap land there..Is there a Hospital there.Since I'm Filipino,there probably won't be any other kinda job up there for me😅

How’s that heat, humidity, and crime working out for you? Most of my family lives in Florida. I used to frequent there when I lived in Louisiana. I even lived there for a while. No thank you.

@@robinhoodloom5795 good luck finding cheap land that you can do anything with. I’ve already looked.

@@IdahoEagle77 The crime isn't bad. We live in an old neighborhood too --no rich folk! Maybe that's why no one comes around to bother anyone. On the other hand, the humidity is killer! After we left Elko we lived in Vegas for a couple years prior to coming to Florida. True fact: it is easier to deal with 115-117 deg F temps in Vegas (very dry heat) than like Florida is right now in the mid 90's with wicked humidity. Sometimes it doesn't even make sense to shower as you don't always dry off before putting on your underwear.

@@robinhoodloom5795 Yes, there is a hospital in Elko. The only one within about a 150-200 mile radius (or more depending on the direction you travel). There is some low cost land, but you better be ready to live off grid. The biggest challenge is going to be water. Very little rainfall. The next issue is out 7-8 month winter and below zero temperatures. You absolutely have to winterize your trailer or camper if that's what you plan to live in on those lots. Fun fact though: There is actually lots of fresh water underground --the challenge is drilling down to it. Very expensive wells and you need a lot of pump power to get it to the surface. Still, I miss living there. We are staying in Florida as long as my wife's mom is still kicking. Then we are going to move back west somewhere to be near our kids and grandchildren.

Better to be a big fish in a small pond than little minnow in the great lakes.👍

30 years ago, there were many different mining companies and they were all awesome to their employees. But after a few decades of takeovers, buyouts, and consolidation --the very few that are left are now big corporations and not so family friendly like they once were. They seem to focus more on profits than people.

Are they really friendly? Cuz that's what Colonfornians claim to be when they really aren't
