Our summers culminate with the Elko County Fair over Labor Day weekend which features quarter horse racing and wagering at our Fairgrounds. Please take the time to visit our museums, including the California Trails Interpretive Center. If time permits, a visit to Lamoille Canyon is a must and be sure to bring your hiking boots. We also have some of the best trout fishing in the west, just 20 minutes away at South Fork Reservoir. If the seasonal timing is right, mine tours hosted by Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining offer a rare opportunity to visit the most productive, modern and environmentally sustainable mining operations in the world. Our lodging accommodations are second to none for a city of our size. We also boast commercial flight service via SkyWest/Delta into the Elko Regional Airport.

  • Wildlife Protection in Mongolia by R
    196 Oryx Wildlife Protection in Mongolia By R. A. Hibbert CMG Although the Mongolian People's Republic, last refuge of the Przewalski wild horse, is one of the most thinly populated countries in the world, the wildlife decreased considerably in the 30's and 40's. There has been some improvement in recent years, and the Game Law now gives protection to nearly all mammals—the few exceptions include the wolf, understandably in a country with vast herds of domestic animals. Mr. Hibbert, who was British Charge d'Affaires at Ulan Bator from 1964 to 1966, and has since spent a year at Leeds University working on Mongolian materials, assesses the status of the major species of mammals, birds and fish, and describes the game laws. HE Mongolian People's Republic is a huge country with a very T small population. Its area is just over H million square kilometres, its population just over 1,100,000. This gives an average population density of 0-7 per square kilometre or allowing for the concentration of nearly a quarter of the population in the capital at Ulan Bator, a density in rural areas of 0-5 per square kilometre. This seems to be a record low density for a sovereign state. The density of domestic animals—sheep, goats, cows and yaks, horses, camels—is much higher. There are some 24 million domestic animals in the herds, which gives an average density of 15 per square kilometre. Even so, the figures suggest that there is still plenty of room for wild life.

  • New Investigations of Pleistocene Glacial and Pluvial Records in Northeastern Nevada
    fl d021-01 1st pgs page 1 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 21 2011 New investigations of Pleistocene glacial and pluvial records in northeastern Nevada Jeffrey S. Munroe Geology Department, Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont 05753, USA Benjamin J.C. Laabs Department of Geological Sciences, State University of New York–Geneseo, Geneseo, New York 14454, USA ABSTRACT The Great Basin of the western United States offers tremendous potential for exploring the response of mountain glaciers and lowland lakes to climate changes during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, MIS-2, ca. 22–18 ka B.P.) and subsequent glacial-interglacial transition. The combination of well-distributed alpine moraine records and pluvial lake deposits offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop a more precise understanding of temperature and precipitation changes during the lat- est Pleistocene and into the Holocene. This fi eld trip provides an overview of recent and ongoing work illuminating aspects of the glacial and pluvial history of northeast- ern Nevada from the LGM to the present. The route of this trip involves three full days of stops separated by two nights in Elko, Nevada. The fi rst day focuses on glacial deposits at the type locality for the LGM Angel Lake Glaciation on the eastern side of the East Humboldt Range. The second day explores the geomorphic record of pluvial Lakes Franklin and Clover on the east side of the Ruby–East Humboldt Mountains and describes recent efforts to develop a chronology for the late Pleistocene regression of these lakes. The fi nal day again focuses on glacial geology, starting with the type locality of the pre-LGM Lamoille Glaciation on the west side of the Ruby Mountains, and ending with several stops along the scenic drive up Lamoille Canyon.

  • Runway Safety Report
    FAA Runway Safety Report Safety Runway FAA Runway Safety Report June 2008 June 2008 June Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20591 OK-08-3966 www.faa.gov Message from the Administrator A successful flight — whether trans-oceanic in a commercial airliner or a short trip in a private airplane — begins and ends with safe ground operations. While within the purview and oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration, runway safety is at the same time the ongoing responsibility of pilots, air traffic controllers, and airport ground vehicle operators. Through training and education, heightened awareness, enhanced airport signage and markings, and dedicated technology, FAA is providing each of these constituencies with the tools required to significantly improve runway safety. The ultimate goal is to reduce the severity, number, and rate of runway incursions; this report details a number of accomplishments and encouraging trends toward that end. A glance at the Executive Summary provides an overview of runway incursion data as well as numerous initiatives either completed, underway or about to begin. Serious runway incursions, which involve a significant reduction in adequate separation between two aircraft and where the risk of a collision is considerable, are trending favorably. In fiscal year 2007, these types of incur- sions were down 23 percent from the previous year and at their lowest total during the past four years. Since 2001, serious runway incursions are down 55 percent. In August 2007, we met with more than 40 aviation leaders from airlines, airports, air traffic controller and pilot unions, and aerospace manufacturers under a “Call to Action” for Runway Safety.
