I was here for about two hours on a Wednesday morning, needing some wifi to do some work and some…read morepower for my laptops. I found the library to be clean, comfortable and welcoming. I am not a Truckee resident and did not have any issues connecting to the internet which was speedy and free. The library is decently sized and has all the usual library stuff, including fiction and non-fiction, reference and periodicals. There are computers available to be used though I'm not sure if those are for residents only. I'm not suggesting that there's an exposed power outlet on the back wall of the library but if someone was looking to discretely charge up their RV's onboard battery while using the wifi of the library, they might be interested to know that.

I went here today, Wednesday, April 24, 2019. I parked across the street in the public parking lot…read moreat North Stewart Street and East 2nd Street, and got to use a flashing crosswalk indicator for the first time ever! It worked, as everyone stopped right away for me. There was also available (and free) street parking closer, next to the park, on East King Street. This building is amazing. You first climb the stairs on North Stewart Street, and enter a grand entry hall, with a few carrels and a book return at one end and a view of the Capitol grounds at the rear. The library itself is to the right, and is open from 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. There is a librarian at the front who is very helpful. They take turns and there is a new librarian every hour. You can check out books with your Carson City Library card. If you want to do work here on your laptop, this is the place to be So much better than the Carson City Library. It is much, much larger, on two stories, with plenty of carrels and tables to work on, many by an electrical receptacle. There is also free, secure wifi. There are so few people here. I had the entire second floor (upper level) to myself. And the clientele is better. I only saw one person who may have been homeless, vs. many in the Carson City Library. I have nothing against homeless people, but I have seen them abuse services in other libraries (like taking to separate indoor seats for the day and not occupying either one, instead choosing to lie down on the picnic table outside). There are also public computers, which are available for an hour at a time I think. They also open at 8 AM, vs. 10 AM at the Carson City Library, which is more conducive to work. There are clean restrooms on the second floor. I saw a rock collection there as well, with Nevada Tartan Stones, on the west wall. There was a display of the original hand-written Nevada State Constitution as well. At the south end of the second floor, there was a spectacular view of the grand entry hall as well as a book monument that was shaped like an igloo. As I left, I saw a virtual reality station near the librarian's desk .You put on this headset and you experience something amazing. The librarian said it was open to the public. I went to the lower level (basement) to look around. It is just a collection of archives, which looks like a closed office hallway at first. The patron coming up said she was scared to use it at first, as the basement halls go on forever and look all the same. I agreed with her, and decided not to look around. Maybe next time.

I went here yesterday, Wednesday, May 29, 2019. The Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center is located inside Greater Nevada Credit Union on US Route 50 (Lincoln Highway) in Dayton. It is a small one room office, but don't let size deceive you! The employee who works there, and who was just hired a few months ago, Helene, is amazing! She first apologized for not noticing me by the door (I really wasn't waiting, but taking a pic of the hours for Yelp). She then was so hospitable and welcoming, like her office didn't have visitors too often. The first thing she did was give me an orange cloth (maybe it was a scarf or handkerchief??). I am not sure what it was, and neither was she, but it was such a nice gesture. I told her I was just visiting, and she told me to have a look around. Besides her desk, there is one area on the side with business cards of the members of the chamber. On the side by the door, there are brochures, pamphlets, and freebies for visitors to the area. Lots of freebies! Besides the orange cloth above, I got an ice scraper, Nevada Highway 50 patch, sticker, letter opener, some pens, a USB fan, and a refrigerator magnet. There were also other things, like a mini football, mini baseball, chapstick, bag clips, and a different letter opener. There were also two passports they were giving out: the Nevada Highway 50 - The Loneliest Road in America Survival Guide (and passport), and the Nevada State Park passport. I had my Highway 50 passport stamped. Now I have two stamps for here and Carson City. I just have to six more to go: Fernley Fallon Austin Eureka Ely Baker/Great Basin National Park Oh, and in the corner was a bookshelf with items for sale, mainly books, like autographed copies of _True Stories of Nevada's Hauntings and Unexplained Mysteries_ by Arlene L. Jenkins. The Highway 50 patches were free on her desk, but in the corner, with the other merchandise for sale, the sign said $5. I told her this and she said she was giving it to me for free since she didn't know that! She also said she was going to lower the price to $1 each so they would sell. I also signed their guest book. Helene said I was the first one while she has worked there who she has witnessed signing it. Helene was so wonderful. She invited to come again in two months when more of a brochure I wanted was in (she only her her one copy left). And she said she would remember my name! I asked her her name again--lol--because I already forgotten! She said "Helene". It is a combination if "Helen" and "Elaine", since her parents liked both. Her mother joked it reminded her of "hell", lol! I need to remember her name the next time I go. She also invited me to the 18th Annual Oodles of Noodles Festival & Pasta Cook-Off which they are having Saturday, June 1, 2019 from 9 AM to 4 PM in Old Town Dayton. I want to go to this. See the Yelp event I made for this here: https://www.yelp.com/events/dayton-18th-annual-oodles-of-noodles-festival-and-pasta-cook-off-2?utm_campaign=www_event_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) Helen also informed the credit union in which they are housed was giving some more space for storage, so they were re-designing the office a little. I left, but sat in my car Yelping and reading the event poster for the event above. As I was doing so, Helene walked by with her boss to go to her car to help carry stuff. She said "hi Stephanie", remembering my name! She was true to her word! A few minutes later I went back in to ask her details about the event, like costs and where it was (I had no idea where Old Town Dayton was), and where to park. There three other employees of the chamber were there busy organizing the event. The other employee I spoke to pulled out a map of the vendor stalls and showed me all the details. I am completely thrilled with my experience there, despite the small office. Helene was so friendly and I learned so much about the Dayton area. I have to go again soon. I will remember Helene's name!

Guest services was very clean. The front desk staff was very attentive and offered to store my personal belongings. Upon arrival you will be offered a keepsake photo for your Instagram and given slippers for your stay. Room was not overly decorated. Unfortunately, there was no turn down service and the mattresses were not very comfortable. Complimentary meals were served three times a day. The food was like nothing I've never experienced. Portions could have been larger. Beverage service was below average. Not a large selection. There is limited cell service and no access to the internet. A real off the grid experience. It's a wonderful place to have time alone to reboot and really get to know yourself again. They have a great incentive plan for guests staying more then one night. You receive a significant reduction in your final lodging invoice. Overall, my stay was very eye opening. I regret to say I will not make reservations again.

Sierra Club goes under the disguise of being this big cuddly teddy bear. They fool good hearted people into thinking they are doing a service to the environment. If you dig around and see how they prevent underbrush cleaning and fire breaks you would see that they are partially to blame for all these fires that have occurred. Can we quantify the amount of pollution from all these fires the past years? Can we quantify the amount of pollution prevented by the Sierra Club. I bet if we could we would see that overall the organization has done more harm than good. The same way city mayors prevent local police from doing their job - there are some major forces that prevent the Forest Service from doing what they are supposed to do. I've seen all the current work to remove all the burned trees in progress... I guess at this point I don't see the point to do any of that work. Besides making things look better I don't see much point. I would rather the money be spent to cut fire breaks in other forests that are not yet burned down.

However, the places that I review set the tone of who I am. Based on the lack of security in U. S. Forest Service managed Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (also known as Mount Charleston) outside of Las Vegas, I am of the opinion that the National Forest Service is doing the public a disservice mismanaging our National treasures that include Mount Charleston. I have visited Mount Charleston nearly every weekend since June of this year and the summer of 2015. The Forest itself is beautiful. However the National Forest Service mismanages so badly that is is considered reckless. There is an obvious lack of Rangers patrolling the trails. This is especially the case in the northwest vicinity of Kyle Canyon where vandalism and forest fires are rampant and turned Little Falls into Ghetto Falls. The following paragraph goes into examples that support this rock bottom rating. Near Mary Jane Falls there could of been a heavenly place called Little Falls. However, the limestone cliffs are so ravaged by graffiti. It is concerning that the Forest Service has ignored it since 2007 and copycat vandals have followed. Nearly every aspine tree has a vandal's initials caved in it. Even the roots of the 3,000 year old Raintree shows signs of vandals. Near the Visitor center vandals posted their graffiti of a Boulder on YouTube. You would think the Forest Service would catch it by going on YouTube and typing Mount Charleston vandalism. Now I'll mention the forest fires including the one burning today. In the last few weeks there have been human caused wildfires in the Mary Jane Falls area. You would think that after the first one there would be Rangers patrolling the area. No such thing! As I write this the third wildfire in the area has extended from three to 15 acres. What is sad that it was a hiker and not a Ranger that spotted the smoke at 2 pm on a Friday afternoon. Sadder, on the Go Mount Charleston page a hiker reported seeing campers carry equipment that can start an illegal fire. As a lover of the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area and critic of the National Forest Service, I feel that the best thing to happen to the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area and our National forests is to transfer them to an agency that is managed with a vision to preserve beautiful places such as Mount Charleston for generations to come. Before concluding this review I will say that I reviewed the Las Vegas field office and emailed them the vandalism issue in Mount Charleston. No response! I give the Forest Service land in Mount Charleston 5 stars and the managers of this land 1star. Sorry for the negative tone. I just speak the truth.

Mood - Have You Ever?…read more Vegas is an enormous city and small at the same time. Around every corner is construction and traffic. That being said you have to be mindful of things whether it's happening to you or others. This particular day my alternator went out as I was on 95N. Now I was in the far left lane. And what are you supposed to do? Get over to the right at the furthest point. My vehicle decided the furthest point was that triangle space right at the exit marker #68 Can you imagine dead vehicle, 110 degrees outside, and your at the mercy of rush hour traffic. No you can't walk as there is no real shoulder that's wide or safe enough, people are driving like Mario Andretti to exit or just to remain on the freeway. So what would you do? I decided to put down the windows and wait for your emergency back up. ( family coming from NLV) I've never been in a situation that needed help by an Ndot service truck before until that day. I wasn't expecting the service. The tech had tools, a jump box and Ice Cold Water. Once the vehicle was able to last leg it off the freeway from that sketchy spot, the service tech stopped traffic and followed my vehicle down to the nearest parking lot. He ensured that I was safe before going to his next stranded vehicle. Would most def recommend. The pricing FREE. And if I would have needed a tow he would have towed for free to the nearest parking lot. This saved alot of money. The compassion he showed towards my plight was some of the best customer service I've received. Simple act of random kindness that made a major difference. Location - freeway stranded
