ipernity: Mining - Pioche, NV by slgwv

Folder: Mining

Old mining town in Lincoln County, eastern Nevada, now undergoing something of a renaissance from those who Really Want to Get Away from It All. The name is properly pee-OASH, but you hear pee-OATCH, too. (That's what I heard growing up, anyway.)
