OOPS! Corrections & Updates
- CC 9 begins the Carson River Watershed. The Carson River Watershed is just under the size of the state of Connecticut in landmass at 3,966 square miles. It’s comprised of the two rivers- West Fork Carson River and East Fork Carson River, both of which begin in the Sierra Nevada of California at over 9,000’ elevation. Ultimately the river(s) travel 205 miles flowing through Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, Dayton, and Fallon, before emptying into the Carson Sink, an endorheic basin allowing no outflow to other bodies of water. During the Comstock mining boom, the watershed and water quality were critically impacted by mine tailings and deforested slopes.
- Thank you Nathan Wilfong, Topaz Agriculture Station, for educating me on what all pests and bootleg activities you and your fellow employees look for.
- Road construction is here! This winter took a toll on so many roads, but traffic is reduced to a single lane regulated by a stop light at Topaz Lake, California from Mono County mile marker 119 to 118. Be patient. It seems like it takes forever for the light to change.
- My sincere apologize to Maturango Museum for misspelling their name. I am so sorry but happy you found the error. It will be corrected upon the next printing of the book.
- Unfortunately, also in Ridgecrest, petroglyph tours are no longer available.
Meet the Author
J. Butler Kyle began writing long before she was crisscrossing the United States with her husband. With thousands and thousands of hours traveling America’s roads, she would pour over maps and read aloud the local history and flavor of the country they were seeing, researching things to see and do along the route.
She wrote her first "book" in junior high. Later in high school, she was sports editor of the school newspaper and wrote a weekly column for the town's daily newspaper. This was unique because in the 70s, at the newspaper, there were few female contributors and there had never been a sports column.
J. went on to write for several publications, Aviation USA and RV Life. She is quite qualified as her employment had been in aviation, including fourteen years as Crew Chief on a firefighting Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT). Her husband traveled for his job, allowing them to live in an RV for nearly twenty-four years. They have lived in over one hundred different locations across the country.
When they settled on an island in the Gulf of Alaska, J. wrote a monthly newsletter for the Prince of Wales Chamber of Commerce and helped create the Prince of Wales Island visitors guide. She also expanded the Southeast Alaska section of The Milepost, something she's proud of.
J. has written several travel guides for family and friends, one down Mexico’s Baja, and another across I-80- Reno, NV to Kansas City, MO. No Exit Necessary: Reno, NV to Adelanto, CA is her first published guide. She has also ghost-written three memoirs for two amazing women and one extraordinary gentleman.
Northern Nevada is where J. calls home with said husband, family of kitties, and whatever strays wander in. She loves to garden, capture photographs, and of course travel. J. once helped evacuate a casino of its cash, but that’s another story.
