Decent social scenes in Elko and Ely, though I much prefer the hwy 50 corridor to the I 80.
Not so true for Austin, Eureka, or Kingston - though I'm sure the bar scenes are "entertaining."
Was just through Ely last week and the film festival was on. Looked pretty cool.
Spent a week skiing out of Ely last month https://eastsidescott.blogspot.com/2...-skiing-i.html
Would be nice to have a snowmobile, but certainly not mandatory.
Don't think touring every day was what the OP had in mind though.
I think others have beat me to it, but Beaver UT/Eagle Point would be worth a look.

I think every American should be required to take a very slow drive through the 50 corridor to gain some serious perspective.

Amen. It's a whole 'nother world.
Something about it is quite appealing.
The wife is having none of it though.

My SO, on her first drive across NV on 50, simply texted "Austin...wow"
I have been nearly everywhere in NV and agree that there is nearly unlimited solitude to be had. The tiny towns and outskirts of them are way too "Let's Go Brandon" for me, but if you're into that you'll feel right at home. Last weekend i saw a house (compound) flying a full sized Nazi flag just outside of Silver Springs. I prefer to visit the middle of nowhere rather than live in it.
In 2016 i saw a lady in Eureka right on the main drag with a giant Biden sign in her yard. I stopped to talk to her and she said she sometimes walked through town with her musket too, daring people to say something. It was pretty badass.
Also: " What the hell is a Jarbidge?"ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

Flown over that area of 50 many times when in the Navy and I unequivocally say there is nothing out there. Once I think we went to Middlegate to get a burger and a bunch of beers. It is truly amazing how little there is out there. Navy owns all the airspace above it flying out of Fallon, NV.

Hospitals and medical care. Always consider that, even if you are young to youngish. Just talked to an old friend who is driving hours just for a decent oral surgeon.

I'd rather have to drive hours for oral surgery every once in a while than have to drive hours to go skiing

Oh fuck for christ sake. Go ski Breckinridge then.
OK though, there's something real to this statement. The current owner of the Lucky Spur decided to sell after he had a heart attack last year and realized he didn't have quick access to a hospital. He survived but is trying to get out.dirtbag, not a dentist

I did some claim staking and soil sampling in that 50 area one spring for a geotechnical consulting company that was based out of Missoula and run by two lesbians who were friends of mine. So one night we were in some podunk bar and my work buddy was dancing with one of the lesbians to country music when he got cold cocked in the face by a cowboy. Turned out the cowboy thought it was two guys dancing together.

ha. Not suppose to be funny yet I laughed out loud. Forgive me Satan. I've visited a few bars like that in AK and many in MT. Once some guy tried to fight me in AK because I was drinking a cranberry vodka and he told me it was too girly - sure OK, he did use stronger words than that - but it wasn't about the drink, he just wanted to fight someone. I think he just wanted to touch another man and it seemed like a bunch of weird baggage.

You say this, and then it turns into your newborn being life flighted for a relatively routine issue that any reasonably sized hospital could handle in house.
Take a gander at what that costs you both monetarily and mentally and your perspective changes.
Mountain towns are great for play but life isn’t all fun and games and sometimes that stuff matters.
