THE Trip, THE Encore' :: Pahrump Nevada, Town of Signs

Copyright 2013, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

Pahrump is an interesting town, one thing that struck me were the signs!  EVERYWHERE, signs.  Heavens, there is even a sign for signs.


It seems times have been rough, many of the signs are for property for sale or rent.


This is Nevada, gambling is legal:


Of course there are pawn shops too:


And, brothels are legal in Nye County.


Pahrump is also the home of an award winning winery:


A few of their award winning bottles, quite the display.


There are quite a few geocaches nearby, Man and I nabbed one near the winery:


On March 8th it rained and up in the mountains, it snowed, the next morning the clouds and fog were low, giving an "other-worldly" view of the snow laden mountains.  It was beautiful.


Our last night there was even a nice sunset.


Pahrump has a nice museum too, I'll tell you about that later.

Gee, I'd have to visit the Chicken Ranch Brothel ... all in the name of historic research, of course!

Seriously though, that picture of the "other-worldly" mountainscape is gorgeous.
