Well, first review of the ranch?!…read more Nancy Jackson, aka Nan, is a wonderful cowoman with a natural affinity to calm animals down. She hosts overnight stays for traveling horses as well as participants in the annual rodeo. I have had my boy moved around several places back in California, and I myself grew up around horses and living a farm life of sorts. Nan is honestly my favorite ranch owner. She's what I hope to be when I grow up: bold, truthful but kind and caring. She keeps her property well kept and has a no nonsense policy, with humans and animals. So, if you're looking for a new place to board, or you're traveling through and need a rest stop, give Nan a call!!

This was a nice little afternoon diversion for the wife and me. We were able to walk around a bit…read moreand take in the scenery. So super conveniently located to Baldini's where we were able to go and have some lunch! Walking around we saw lots of cool little things and plants we might get at a later date. If we had smaller kids they probably would have loved the police vehicles that were on hand to ooooh and ahhhh over. We had too much planned out in the asphalt and concrete world we weren't able to stay for the different talks that they had planned throughout the day. Plus our brown thumbs probably would have started killing everything in sight. We aren't really crafty or gardeny ....not a word. Anyway maybe by next year we will have sprouted a green thumb to be nurtured by this event.

As much as I love all of the green space, it would be nice to have a few more cement walkways because my socks and shoes were both soaking wet by the end of my visit. There is also a fountain and a gazebo and some benches to sit on. This would be a great quiet spot to catch up with a friend or maybe enjoy a first date. Personally, it made for a perfect stroll with my dog to enjoy the flowers and the sweet air. I'm so glad they added this space.

The Historic Reno Preservation Society sponsored a walking tour of the 4th Street area and beer…read moresampling of craft breweries along the way. The tour covered the area on 4th Street between Evans and Morrill Streets. We met at the corner of Morrill and 4th Streets, immediately east of the wells overpass. This area has a very distinct and colorful history that I was not aware of. 4th Street went from being a dirt road to becoming a key industrial and commercial road, to a highway. As the road connected east and west cities, it attracted many big businesses that thrived on 4th Street in years gone by. There were even railroad tracks that came right into the area. In that small four block area of 4th Street there were slaughter houses, a commercial brewery and other industries that had attracted the railroad to that area. In fact, the Depot brewery and restaurant, was indeed a train depot and there are remnants of the vault that once was part of the train depot. The door to the vault for some strange reason is in the men's room. My feeling is that it should be on display so all who come in can see it. It is a very impressive piece of history. . We had four staff members from the Reno Historical Society that took us on the walk and explained the businesses that thrived along the 4th Street Corridor and lectured on the architecture of some of the buildings that are still there that are over a hundred fifty years old, the significance of businesses having access to the train, and the evolution and development of 4th Street from a simple dirt road to a major road linking cities east and west until Interstate 80 was built. Along the way we made three stops at 3 craft breweries the first Brewery was the pigeon Head Brewery. the second was the lead Dog Brewery, and the third and final stop was the Depot Restaurant and Brewery. I am a huge fan of the craft beers and each one of the breweries definitely had something to my taste and liking even. it was interesting to go tour the breweries and sample their beers and have an appreciation of the brewmasters' special ingredients and talents as they practice their craft and make us all happy, happy. A very special way to spend part of your Sunday, thanks to the Historic Reno Preservation Society. Check out their website for future tours. Probst!

As a local, this was an amazing find! I was simply looking online for fun stuff to do over the…read moreholiday break and found Reno Food Tours. We met our tour guide, Fanci, at Cafe Whitney at 11am. She was great and gave us some interesting facts about the Whitney Peak Hotel building while we had delicious ahi tuna tacos with a wonton shell. From there we walked over to Crafted Palette. We had not known about this place and what a hidden gem. We had an amazing wellington pie and a cherry pie. Crafted Palette features local artists and offers sip and paint classes. From there we went to Wild River Grille where we had amazing bruschetta and pork belly. The GM also gave us a great tour of the building and some of the history behind the restaurant and the apartments above, once a hotel (Marilyn Monroe was a guest while filming The Misfits!) We next journeyed to Papa What's Cooking for red beans and rice, with a side of cornbread. Both excellent. Finally, we wrapped up the day at Sierra Bakery and Creamery, where the owner creates all the ice cream recipes himself and we were able to chat with him. Great guy and great ice cream and treats. My friend wound up buying a quart to take home. Reno Food Tours is a great way to spend an afternoon. Our guide, Fanci, was great and gave us lots of fun facts about various buildings and some historical information and lore surrounding the biggest little city. The restaurant stops are the tour do change up every so often so we definitely decided we would go again. Highly recommend as a fun way to enjoy the city of Reno.

I have emailed confirmations too! Given the other reviews are all 5 years ago or more, I suspect the organization has gone zombie. If you can't get a person on the phone I'd say don't touch it with a barge pole!

Fluttering, buzzing and humming of flying butterflies and bugs - do you want to hear or see that??…read more How about having the soft tickle of tiny little legs on your arms and hands?? Well that's just some of the really cool things you will get to see, observe and touch at Nevada Bugs & Butterflies!! Come out to the butterfly and science center so you can meet Tessie the Tortoise as she slowly comes out of her house to chomp on some flowers and leaves. Go inside the Butterfly House to have all them whimsically fly around you as if playing a game of tag as you get lost in the beauty of their magical wings and colors. Don't forget to look among the foliage you just may see a caterpillar or too before they cocoon and turn into one of these winged beauties. Take a stroll on the interactive science center path to learn about the indigenous plants of our area and Nevada. Then finish with the wonderful volunteers to learn all kinds of amazing things about butterflies and see up close and personal some different bugs such as: caterpillars, crickets, hissing cockroaches or a centipede with all of it's legs to walk on your hand. That's just some of the amazing things you will find at FREE outdoor facility here at the Nevada Bugs & Butterflies. We were so glad that we found this magical place and that they graciously excepted donations if you so desired (they have donation boxes set up on the property). This was a stop for us prior to our visit to Pacific Grove, CA for the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary and found out from one of the founders (Cynthia) that was on site that day that they take part of tagging Monarch Butterflies for the migration each year (be sure to check out their website so you can be apart of that - http://nevadabugs.org/). She shared with us her research on the butterflies, what got her and husband to put this beautiful sanctuary together and what was in store for them in the future. We look forward to seeing them expand to something bigger and that more people will get out and enjoy the beauty of Nevada Bugs & Butterflies. We also found out that they welcome small groups and have had homeschool kids come for private tours - NOW THAT'S AWESOME! We had an amazing experience with the volunteers making sure to come out while we were enjoying the outdoor facilities to answer any questions we had and share with us information about the habitat, butterflies, tortoises and we really enjoyed our time there. I would say make the trek out, it's not as far as you think (heck we live in Carson City so what's your excuse). Pack up the kids , or in our case GET IN THE CAR and GO find out about some awesome, beautiful things that are right here in Nevada - Bugs & Butterflies!! Happy Yelping Everyone!!
