Nevadans deserve better than Dean Heller

Posted on February 15, 2018

I want to share a brief story in light of the school shooting that happened today in Florida. This is from several years ago. Long enough, in fact, and in a horrible enough situation that I can't honestly remember which school shooting it was directly after. In my mind, it was after Sandy Hook.

The peak itself overlooks Caughlin Ranch and has a bit of a steep final section, but not too much for someone who gets out on a trail every now and then. The peak itself isn't named on any maps that I could find, but gets its name from the iron memorial at the top
