Night Caching the Nevada Geo-Art Star. We have lit up the Nevada Desert with Led Solar Lights. Nighttime Star caching will be Awesome now. I believe we are the first to Light up a Geoart Creation. Although this Picture is Photoshopped with Brighter Lights this is what it Looks like. The Lights were too dim although you can see them with Naked eyes the Camera couldn't see that far.
Fun State Fact:
Nevada has the nickname “The Silver State,” which is the perfect nickname! Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864, after telegraphing the Constitution of Nevada to the Congress days before the November 8 presidential election (the largest and costliest transmission ever by telegraph). Statehood was rushed to help ensure three electoral votes for Abraham Lincoln's reelection and add h, but the secular western section stumbled along until the great silver strikes beginning in 1858 created boom towns and fabulous fortunes. After the beginning of the 20th century, profits declined while Progressive reformers sought to curb rampaging capitalism and its attendant miseries. They imagined a civilized Nevada of universities, lofty idealism, and social reform. But an economic bust during the 1910s and disillusionment from failures at social reform and a population decline of nearly one-fourth meant that by 1920 Nevada had degenerated into a "beautiful desert of buried hopes."[1] The boom returned when big time gambling arrived in 1931, and with good transportation (especially to California metropolitan areas), the nation's easiest divorce laws, and a speculative get-rich-quick spirit, Nevada had a boom-and-bust economy that was mostly boom until the worldwide financial crisis of 2008 revealed extravagant speculation in housing and casinos on an epic scale.
