Nevada Naturist,
I have just recieved an e-mail from a hiking buddy. From the pictures attached to it, it appears the pools at Gold Strike are full of rocks. So I guess it will take a lot of work to make them fun again.
Can you call out your military friends for this emergency? It will take an army of more than one to get GS going again. When you are in town let me know so we hike some more. Or maybe my boat could be fun.
It was good to see your posting here.
