I've always wanted to go!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cheers,<BR>Christina</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 1/30/2005 7:03:22 P.M.

Doing a bit of Web surfing, I find that there is a "Granite Fox Power Plant Project" proposed for construction about 6 miles northwest of Gerlach, Nevada, at a site astride the state highway. Land ownership differes on each side of the road, so a special process has to be done to gain project approval. This process, and the decision, should be finished in early March 2005.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anotehr geothermal project is proposed for a few miles south of Gerlach, and still another at the Ward's Hot Springs, at Fly Ranch where there is the "geyser" (really a spouting well). I find it a bit curious that there is not proposed development _right at_ Great Boiling Springs, but perhaps this is because the springs are on land owned by the town of Gerlach? (The springs are within the Gerlach KGRA, but apparently is is ?not? under lease at present?)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyhow -- has anybody by wild chance been there recently?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
