Late March road conditions?

Hello,

I'm planning on being in the nw corner of Nevada March 24-31st. I'm interested in going to the High Rocks canyon area including the Upper Canyon. What I would like to know, is what the road conditions might be at this time. If anyone has any info in this regard I would be appreciative. I will be staying close to Cedarville.
Thanks,
Eric Bekebrede

Do you have Pictures of or Near Jungo LandFill Site as Lakefront Property?

The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) issued an operating permit to Recology for the Jungo Road Landfill on February 29, 2012 despite some very valid environmental concerns raised by several people during public comment. This landfill is planned to accept 4000 tons of nonrecycleable waste 5 days a week via train for 95 years. It is over an active aquifer in a seismic zone. No environmental impact study was required.

Who knows, maybe there is. At any rate, in an effort to keep each of you updated on the Jungo Road Landfill as you pass through these pages, here you go:

After months of legal briefs, depositions, and not much going on, activity on the Jungo Road Landfill project is changing as fast as the weather out on the Black Rock.

I'm sure none of you will agree this is poetry; but, at this date, I FINALLY have something to say in terms of the status of the Jungo Road Landfill.
