A friend, myself and my boys decided to go out and do some of the trails out at the Nellis Dunes Recreational Area at the north end of town. As we were running around in the dunes we were talking about an old trail that use to go out towards the lake and the Pabco mine and plant. So we decided to see if we could find it from the dunes. We found some markers with a trail that ran along them in the right direction and started to follow them. Well it would appear that we found it. While it is up you can see the tacking loop in the north east side of town here http://aprs.fi/?call=kc7qjo-7&mt=hybrid&z=16&timerange=604800. The trails that I took would probably be rated 2.5. It took us about 2.5 hours taking it easy.
