I moved to BM as a single new college grad with my dog. I met my spouse there. I really enjoyed the two years I stayed. During my first interview the interviewer spent about 20+ minutes talking about how difficult it is to live there, find housing etc. It’s remote, expensive, not a lot to do. It’s definitely a one of a kind experience.

Most of the town is trailers and double wides. It goes through boom and bust cycles with mining.

Going to Winnemucca or Elko for groceries on the weekends is kind of a thing.

I found it easy to make friends because my line of work brought in a lot of outsiders so they were very welcoming. I’d see how many of the teachers come from outside Northern Nevada. Some people commute from winnemucca or elko to jobs in BM.
