Basque food at JT's in Gardnerville, Nevada is tradition going back decades.  


Yes, those are dollars pinned to the ceiling.  Don't leave without trying a Picon Punch.


The star of the show - aspens!

    1. It totally grows on you. The smell of sage, secret springs, the rattling of aspens, the emptiness, the little Nevada towns, the long stretches of road going on and on - it's a unique and magical way of life.

    2. You reminded me of Cache Creek in British Columbia. I worked out of there a long time ago and I always remember the scent of the sage and that "rattling wind". Steve_in_Ottawa
