Nevada has closed all non-essential businesses (including the casinos!) because of the coronavirus epidemic, and discourages all but essential travel (doctors, grocery trips, etc.) One specific exemption, tho, is going outside--as long as you avoid groups! So it's perfectly OK to take your dogs on hikes, and it means you can still take advantage of the large amount of open public land in the state. So here we are (Frank on the left, Shiloh on the right) on a trail in BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land in the Virginia Range a few miles east of my house. Usually on a weekday we see no one out here, but with so many people staying home there are more parties out and about than usual. It's still pretty deserted by most standards! ;)
