ty, with wide-open deserts and stunning mountain ranges,” Gov.

Give attention to your vehicle’s fuel level as the only fuel station for many miles is in Julian itself. Regular fuel and diesel are available here; however the station closes in the early evening.

square-foot Nevada State Museum at the Springs Preserve is double the size of the former museum at Lorenzi Park and includes a 2,500-square-foot changing exhibit gallery that will house the “Un- expected Nevada” photo exhibit.
Featuring 22 images taken by photog-
rapher Cameron Grant, “Unexpected Nevada” depicts the state’s landscapes and landmarks in dramatic colour. Grant used the high dynamic range photogra- phy technique to enhance the pictures, and then printed them on an aluminum background to add to the images’ lumi- nosity.
“We are able to off er a more complete
picture of Nevada at this new museum,” Peter Barton, administrator for the Ne- vada Division of Museums and History, said. “It’s also an important community resource.”

Visitors to the Nevada State Museum at the Springs Preserve will pay one fee that allows en- try into the preserve as well as the muse- um.
