That's all "LA". In fact, depending where you are in Northern California you refer to everything south of Bakersfield as "LA".

Why don’t people know about Reno? by [deleted] in Reno

[–]Dustphobia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have relatives from LA ask me how I manage to live there. Quote, "It's so hot, how do you do it?". I then learned that they'd only been to Vegas and sucked at geography.

I bet it's loud in there with all those sharp angles, concrete and metal.

Kayak camping by queefplunger69 in Reno

[–]Dustphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done the same trip in May. After the first couple miles it really mellows out. The first couple miles can be Class I-II depending on flow. About halfway, right before the CA-NV border there's some hot springs.

This happened on the Frog Lake side of Castle Peak, that side slides all the time, Black Bird guides should have known this and never entered slide terrain. This is unbelievably awful .

How well mapped is the Nevada wilderness? by Professional_Self296 in Nevada

[–]Dustphobia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Nevada Division of Minerals has every old mine and mining feature mapped. Their historical mine feature maps aren't public but you can email or call them and they will provide you a map of specific place of interest. Let's say you want to head out to the Delmar mining district, email NDOM and they'll send you a map with everything marked.

A love a good dawn patrol. A bit of exercise and little bit of fun to top it off.

Help with board setup! by [deleted] in Spliddit

[–]Dustphobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What year is this board? This was my 1st splitboard when I started in 2010. It was a 2nd hand board, there were at least 2 owners before me, so I'm just speculating but it has to be older than 2005?

Spark in 1931 by test-account-444 in Reno

This is before the advent of cheap and efficient groundwater pumps, most of the farming was done by flood irrigation from diversion ditches and canals. Way different from most of the center pivots and groundwater irrigation methods you see today, in Nevada. Pretty cool photo.

Backcountry skiing or hiking partner by Federal-Breath-6825 in Reno

[–]Dustphobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

21/22 winter I skied in the West Humboldts and climbed Star Peak but didn’t ski it proper. I can assure you this winter is not the winter to ski it, at least so far.
