My 300th review!!!…read more Water in the middle of the desert? No, wait, a wetland habitat in the middle of the desert? This must be a mirage! Nope, if you've found your way out to Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, that's definitely water you're seeing, along with all sorts of shorebirds, herons, egrets, ducks, owls, hawks and other wildlife coming in for a bit of respite from the harsh environment around it. With most of these types of areas, my first question is always about the quality of the roads used to get around. The roads are all gravel once inside the refuge, but I can tell you that at Stillwater, in dry conditions, a car is perfectly fine. There are no dips or divots in the road a car can't handle, and definitely no clearance issues. Even when the roads are wet, there really isn't an issue. As a national refuge, this is a federally managed wetland project designed to provide habitat and attract and sustain wetland species in Northern Nevada. For birdwatchers, this place can be paradise, with several species calling the area home. The refuge has a great walking trails that take you into some unique habitat, and give you opportunities to see the diversity of wildlife in the area. I've seen all sorts of birds, as well as deer, coyotes, and more. If you have a non-motorized boat, paddling through some of the larger ponds can be a great way to spend an afternoon. They even have overnight campgrounds that are suitable for tents or RVs. I've been coming to Stillwater for the past few years, and with the drought conditions throughout the state, this place has definitely suffered. To put it in perspective, last year there were 3 large areas holding water, and in 2014 they're down to one. I'm hopeful we have a great winter that brings a lot of precipitation that will help replenish our water supply. We all know we need it!

We went in November of 2006…read more We saw ducks, blue heron and other waterfowl. We even saw a few birds of prey. If you are into desert landscapes, and wetlands this is a great mix. I prefer lots of trees myself, of which there were very few. However it was VERY beautiful and we did enjoy it. There was also a wildlife viewing platform that allowed you to look out on the marshes. The bathrooms were impeccable for the "porta-potty/outhouse" type that most parks have. Talk about clean! wow! It wasn't to terribly hot in November when we went but PLEASE bring water with you, you'll want it. A jacket too if it's in the Winter months.

We were not disturbed and slept in our truck bed. This area is really pretty, still close to Fallon of you need supplies. The hidden cave trail loop is a special treat out here. The hidden cave is only open for tours on the weekend, but we still walked through the smaller caves that are always open. Lots on informative signage! We were the only ones on the whole trail loop which was a plus. There's a cute picnic area at the entrance. The people in town were very nice and we also got to see jets taking of from the airbase. We are aviation needs so this was a great experience. We will definitely come dispersed camping here in the future.

I haven't to been to this swimming pool in forever. Maybe back in the 4th or 5th grade which I…read morebarely remember. I happened to stop by there on a Sunday. The price was cheap. You just pay and walk in. No chairs or benches to change into you swim suit. I just dropped trou in the bathroom and changed out. There is limited seating around the pool. The swimming pool is small but there was room enough for everyone there that day. They have a nice water slide for adults and bigger kids. They also had a little slide for the younger kids. There were plenty enough lifeguards around and warned kids when they were playing unsafe in or around the pool. The also have a little snack shack that sells ice cream, hot dogs, and other snacks. The price was cheap. I don't think they're trying to make money off people. Seems like they just want people to be happy. If I ever felt the need to take a dip in a pool, I'd go there again. Beats swimming in the irrigation canals or ditches. I don't think anyone does that anymore.

Ask for Karen the bartender she can hook you up. I don't play golf but the scenery and people make it a most stop! An update to my earlier review: we spent a beautiful hot Saturday participating in the Arts Council tournament. It was a great day on the whole except that towards the end there was a new bartender on shift. I think her name is Cody. She is pretty although you wouldn't know it because she never smiled or even give you a hello. She was rude. So rude in fact that people around me waiting for drinks noticed and remarked. One remark was wow, she must not want to be here today. I will just say that I work in customer service, and it's never my Guests fault for me having a bad day. Keep it to yourself!!!! Give a smile and let them know you are happy to see them. They are paying your bills after all...

Beautiful day to play golf and spend some time with my dad. We started with a warm up session at the bar. Old time bar with cheap beers and friendly faces. Last time we were there it looked like the bar was going to put in video poker machines - it never came to be. This course has 2 sets of tees for nine holes. Play the back tees for the front nine and the forward for the back nine. You meander through some nice countryside and theres one small lake and a creek that crosses many holes. Its not a long course at all, but does offer some challenging holes... The price is right for green fees and a cart, just over $20 for each player. Bar / restaurant, driving range and putting green + a proshop for anything you might need for your round.

We were initially thrilled to enroll our daughter at Ivy Land, but our excitement quickly turned…read moreinto disappointment. Once she started, our daughter fell ill consistently, missing out on the learning experience we had hoped for. What added to the frustration was the lack of incentive for parents to keep sick kids home. The preschool's policy of charging full price regardless of attendance meant that many parents sent their sick children after administering fever-reducing meds. Despite a staff member contracting COVID-19, the promised changes to drop-off protocols never materialized. We were essentially paying $180 a week to Ivy Land to 'hold the spot,' even when our daughter was sick four out of five days. This left us home sick, without a paycheck, and questioning the value of the preschool. When I raised these concerns with the staff and to the owner through their messaging system, instead of addressing the issues, I was met with a withdrawal form the next time I walked in. When we wanted a short break before Christmas vacation due to our 90-year-old grandparents' health concerns, and that we couldn't bring illnesses with us or they could die, we were met with laughter instead of understanding. Many preschools offer discounted rates for sick or vacation time, but Ivy Land seemed indifferent. They will cite their contract when faced with morality. When I readdressed the illness issue, the owner explained how it's normal for kids to get sick, told me to "google it", and that they hold their temperature records for 7 years (although she knows these numbers are manipulated). It may be normal for kids to be sick under their care, but our daughter has not been sick since leaving. We were too sick at Christmas to go anywhere, except we did go to the Urgent Care and ER for a strep infection; we should have taken that withdrawal form. Moreover, our daughter's time at Ivy Land was marred by bad behavior and inappropriate incidents. She complained about frequent harassment in the bathroom by a boy, sand-throwing, pushing, and someone defecating on the toy pirate ship. Where were the teachers? Why were some of these things able to happen at all? We were also unaware of an aggressive breed rescue dog with social and anxiety issues frequenting the premises. Has the state approved this? Is it really appropriate to socialize an anxious dog around babies and preschool children? Lastly, the $90 late payment fee for a weekly payment structure felt excessive and unreasonable. It all culminated in a disheartening experience that fell far short of our expectations for a nurturing and supportive learning environment.

When we pulled in to enter there are signs saying that you have to pay for a weekly pass which is $40 or an annual pass which is $90 but there is no option for day use. Serendipitously, we happened through on a Tuesday which for some reason is free. Although that didn't make much sense to me, I needed to use the restrooms so we headed in. As other reviews have mentioned the roads are terrible and it's not just the bumpy pothole mess that you come to get used to in this area of the country, it's steep drop-offs from semi-paved gravel roads to dirt roads That will definitely damage your car if you are not paying attention and driving very slowly. We pulled in as far as we could and there were lots of people with trucks and trailers that had ATVs and dirt bikes. There was also a lot of garbage everywhere and when I tried to use the restroom it was flooded and full of flies. We checked out the dunes and left. I can see how the people who are really into off-roading might find it worth it to come here especially if they come a lot and they have an annual pass but for passersby or people who are just in the area, it's definitely not worth the $40.

He purchased a $100 gift certificate for my birthday in early June, and I visited the website several times in June viewing classes. My schedule finally made time for me to attend a class. I left a voicemail and sent a website message to reserve a class spot, only to find out through a reply email that Yoga Loka closed on June 27. My friend was not informed they were closing when he purchased the gift certificate just a few weeks before they closed. Nor was there any indication on the website that they were closing, while I was viewing classes. Additionally, their website is still live, and gives no indication they are closed. Yoga is a practice with high moral and ethical standards, and I hope Nikki does the right thing and refunds the money. Until then, it is a one-star business.
