These are for my out of country friend who may visit this country some day and just in case you end up in the great silver state here are a few things to not do, which will make your trip safer and more enjoyable.
1 Never walk into a cowboy bar wearing, pink velvet Chapp's and gold spurs. 2. Never walk up to a biker and ask. can I touch your beard?
3. Never go into Convenience store on an Indian reservation wearing a 7th Calvary T-Shirt 4. Never go into a Hispanic neighborhood wearing any white Supremacist garb. 5. Under no circumstance should you walk your dog in an Asian neighborhood. 6. Never walk downtown on the strip with money hanging out of your pockets. 7. Do not stand in a hood looking lost while shooting pictures.
8. Never try to pick up a Badger they are not kittens, especially while your intoxicated. 9. Never ask a policeman if he has anything better to do.
10. Never swim in the holding ponds you see in some desert towns, these are sewage treatment ponds.
There thats 10 things not to do in Nevada. Hope your trip is a happy one.
there is one thing you shouldnt do but i would love to do is to break into area 51 and find evidence of alien technology, very impossible to do that i know.
i am told that area 51 is patrolled constantly and if you are caught near the "no go" zone then you are firstly warned then if you try again you are arrested. is that true?
I haven't been around there in some time, you use to be able to climb the mountain adjacent to the base and look around, but now they have electronic sensors and signs posted that deadly force will be used, Im not sure on the exact wording, but you get my drift.
Im retired, I just camp and fish, and Hike. Do some graphic art here and there. Some of those calls were mine, and some were from other agencies in the area I worked. Now I just hang out here and have fun.
it is quiet for the most part, but as with every place there are things that happen which you never hear about. I thought some of those were humorous. At least they were at the time :)
My Bet is That The Rogue Cop, know more of Nevada then I do...
I bought my first home In State Line Nevada in 1984 for $63,000.00 it was a 6 bdrm 4 1/2 bath in a sizplex at 9,000 at the top of Kingbary Grade. overlooking The Carson Valley...
It was fun if you like Ski Bunnies all winter long and a nice quiet hood in the summer, But there were little thing's that are best to remember in Nevada...
When I lived there all Recreational Drugs were a fellony, so even of you got busted being in the same place as drugs , you were looking at The Carson Prison as your new home for at least 2 years and 3 years probation, wich means that you can't leave Nevada to seek gainfull employment...
Nevada is a Right to work State, that means if you do your work and stay clear of The Law Dogs, then they will stay clear of you...
Nevada is where I stopped Drinking and using Drugs, I did not get busted there, it was just a place where there was way too much of everything, so I stopped and since I had a Clean Record, The Sherriff gave me a Concealed Weapons Permit and I went to work for Harrahs as internal security...
Since I did not want to drink or smoke or be around Drunks and Druggies, that left me to The Jesus Freaks in The Chruches and they drank just as much and used all the same drugs as the Dopers, but they were Christian Drunks and Druggies...
Go Figure, So I took to hanging out with The GUN Freeks, The Been there Done That Straight, Clean Christian COPS OF The Great Silver State, though it's been over 20 years since I came back home most of those guy's still brig their families down and visit me at least once a year , So I tend to think well of Nevada People...
Just one thing one has to remember, when you enter Nevada and that is That you are no longer in California and some of The LAWS are best observed, NOT IGNORED!!!
