Virtual Tour of Phantom Country

Q:
I've been looking for places in your books. Can you give me a description of how a ranch actually looks? And what about the Calico Mountains and the playa, do they really exsist in Nevada?

A: Great question and guess what? Here are some cool photos of the real places:

you can see the Black Rock Desert, Gerlach, the little town on which I based Alkali, the playa and some Nevada hotsprings.

will show you a real ranch where I've hung out. I stayed here on the first night of the cattle drive on which I based Sam's first drive.
Happy trails,
Terri
