After living in the Carson Valley for over 27 years my wife and I decide to make our first visit to…read morethe Dangberg Ranch, and we walked away wondering what took so long. We were there to enjoy one of the speakers in their summer series, Christina Thomas, "Songbird: The Story of the Paiute People" and she was great as she shared the history of the Paiute people in the Great Basin. The Dangberg Ranch is located on HWY 88 just south of its intersection with HWY 395, and you'll head west onto a dirt road for about a mile to get to the ranch, and the road is a bit rough, and on the day we went, muddy from recent rain. Was it worth it? Absolutely, here's the web-site, and I'd encourage you to add this to your tour of the Carson Valley: http://www.dangberghomeranch.org/ As a side note, the view of the Sierra Nevada from this location are incredible.

This little park backs up to the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in the Carson River Basin of Northern Nevada. Celebrated the 4th of July here, listening to some great bluegrass. Watched the kids dancing and having a grand ole time. You feel like you've stepped back in a carefree time for a moment. The Genoa fire department had chicken dinners. Great food, great music and an all around great time. I can still see the children running through the sprinklers. Sons and dads having a catch. Reminds us of our yesteryears with a backdrop of our beautiful Nevada summer weather, mountains, fresh air and butterflies.

HISTORIC Mormon Station is the site of Nevada's first permanent non-native settlement and replicates the original 1851 Mormon Station trading post that burned down in 1910. It was rebuilt in 1947 as a museum and today it stores many original pioneer era artifacts. It was referred to as a fort but it was never one. There was never any military presence here nor did any battles take place. It was actually a stockade. BUILT AS A TRADING POST We took a self-guided walking tour inside the stockade (the enclosure of walls built with logs placed vertically, side by side). There were informative boards, one sign asked to imagine if you were standing at that very place and what would you expect to see... we would likely see oxen grazing, stable sheds, a haystack or two and a small vegetable garden. The stockade was used as corral for the oxen, horses and mules. COOL ARTIFACTS There were authentic exhibits used during that period. I especially found the semi trucks of the 1800's amusing. There was a real life piece of a freight wagon as one of the exhibits. The wagon displayed is a California rack-bed freight wagon. Mormon Station was worth a visit. I would recommend to include a stop here for a perfect loop around Lake Tahoe. Review #3736

If your like me you want to see the kids while not freezing or melting so parking is close with full view of the park. There are also benches available and a grass park nearby as well as restaurants, coffee shops, fast food, gas/quickstop. *f your looking for a great skate shop to get you started, to update your current choice of wheels or learn some new tricks, try out The Wheelhouse in Carson City. They have everything you need from scooters, skateboards, bikes, cool apparel, nutrition bars/drinks, and a huge selection of accessories, including wheels, bars grips, cool deck tape and a big selection of stickers, etc. I fell in love with the artsy side if the shop and great customer service. They have a great mentoring program that kids with a little experience can get involved in and help out with younger kids or beginners in the sport. Its a great way to teach kids how to pay it forward and they might learn some tips along the way. They have built an indoor training area in the back part of the shop including a small gym area. They really encourage healthy living and getting active!
