Home Means Nevada
“All For Our Country” Nevada was the 36th state to become part of the union. It became a state on October 31, 1864. Maybe that’s where Halloween came from. The state colors are blue and silver.

Before long, they heard the sounds of large dogs panting in close proximity, followed by low and hateful growls.

Stealing a glimpse at the shaft, the chain began to move, seemingly being tugged away from the rock wall by an unknown force. As the pulling continued, harder each time, the brothers fumbled for their gear and stumbled to their feet. One of them pointed the flashlight toward the chain where scratch marks and blood stains could be seen on the rock. Suddenly, the chain dropped and one of the brothers felt something brush against his leg before both were frantically running towards their car. As they drove as fast as they could out of the canyon, they could hear wild panting and canine footsteps as a pack of invisible wild strays kept pace with them for several miles. Locals refer to these spectral hounds as The Hell Dogs of Eldorado
