I’ve been through Nevada several times. I missed the Rocky Mountains.

I am glad you missed them. Running into them would hurt like heck. :-)

I’d go for the “sure thing” over the “Big Win” since the payout is the same. He needs to focus on the swing states he has the best chance of winning.

“No idea what’s up with Clemens, I guess he just wants to prove to himself he can still do it. The Astros are desperate for gate so they’d sign him even if he stinks. I do not expect him to do well if he tries it.”

Or reset the HOF clock...

You do know, I’m sure, that from the Egan Range in NE Nevada on a good day one can see the Rocky Mountains across the desert to the east, or in Idaho to the north. The Wasatch Range, the Sawtooth Range, and several other western ranges are all part of the Rocky Mountain complex. Though the original poster’s comment was somewhat cryptic, I did not assume he meant the Rocky Mountains were in Nevada, but that they could be seen from Nevada. Maybe I misunderstood what he meant.

I can see the next town from my place but I’m not in it.

I just don’t think describing Nevada as the “Rocky Mountain West” is accurate or makes much sense. I’ve heard it called the “Inter Mountain West” which makes a lot more sense.

I’ve always considered Nevada “inter-mountain,” in the sense it is between the two dominant western ranges (the Rockies and the Sierras), though arguably it contains a bit of both on the extremes.

The western region of Nevada is solid mountains, mostly the White Mountains.

Yes, and there are many geologists who say the White Mountains are actually part of the eastern edge of the Sierras, part of the Sierras complex, straddling both California and Nevada.

The self-righteous sportswriters will never let him in. He’ll have to wait for the veterans committee.
