Packed with enough arts, museums, restaurants and culture to go against any U.S. metropolitan area, our very own Carson City stands out as a place we’re extremely proud of to call home. Take a walk through Carson City’s historic district or a tour of the Legislative complex on Carson Street and you’ll see why.
When the Nevada Commission on Tourism launched its Nevada Treasures contest as part of its “Discover Your Nevada” campaign, it was a no-brainer for us to vote on those Capital City places and events that are favorites not only among visitors but fellow Carsonites. We all
have our favorite stops, funky coffee shops and museums we want the world to know about. So why not tell the rest of Nevada and the world which places in Carson City stand out and that no one should miss when they’re here.
Vote for your favorite places through 5 p.m. Friday, March 30 and be sure to tell your friends to vote, too. The top 20 treasures in each territory will then go on to round two, which begins at 9 a.m. April 2 and ends at 5 p.m. Go here to vote. The list is long, so be sure to scroll through it.

What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., is now recognized in November as Native American Heritage Month. Nevada particularly has a rich Native American history, with three tribes — the Washoe, Paiutes and Sho-sho-ne — as being among the first when Europeans visited the area.
In the Carson City and Northern Nevada region, the Washoe tribe dates back at least 9,000 years, according to the Tribe, with its presence extending to the Lake Tahoe Basin and adjacent east and west slopes and valleys of the Sierra Nevada.
The present day Washoe Tribe has deep roots in the past, radiating from Lake Tahoe, a spiritual and cultural center, and encompassing an area that stretches from Honey Lake to Mono Lake. This aboriginal area was positioned directly in the path of explorers, immigrants, and gold-seekers that were bound for California in the United States’ westward migration.
The tribes of Nevada and California is a federally recognized Indian Tribe organized pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934, as amended. The Tribe has four communities, three in Nevada (Stewart, Carson, and Dresslerville), and one in California (Woodfords). There is also a Washoe community located within the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony. The Tribe has jurisdiction over trust allotments in both Nevada and California, with additional Tribal Trust parcels located in Alpine, Placer, Sierra, Douglas, Carson, and Washoe Counties.
The Washoe, who were hunters and gatherers, would generally spend summers at Lake Tahoe, the fall in the ranges to the east, and the winter and spring in the valleys between them. Their language is unique to the area, showing no relationship to surrounding languages; this suggests a long tenure for the tribe.
Archaeological investigations trace evidence of the Washoe from approximately two to five thousand years ago (Kings Beach and Martis culture complexes), but native history states that they had been here since the beginning, when Old Woman harvested cattail seeds to make people. Like other hunter-gatherers, theyleft a delicate footprint on their environment. They left no large monuments nor did they build any large cities.
Culturally, the Washoe are known for their intricate basketweaving, living in tight community enclaves and gatherers of the piñon pine nuts, which were collected in fall provided much of the food eaten in the winter. Roots, seeds, berries and game provided much of the food eaten in the rest of the year. Pine nuts and acorns remain a food staple and economic mainstay .
Governor Brian Sandoval has recognized the Month with the following proclamation signed on Sept. 16th of this year:
WHEREAS, the history and culture of our great nation has been significantly influenced by American Indians and indigenous peoples; and WHEREAS, the contributions of American Indians have enhanced the freedom, prosperity, and greatness of America today; and WHEREAS, their customs and traditions are respected and celebrated as part of a rich legacy throughout the United States; and WHEREAS, Native American Awareness Week began in 1976 and recognition was expanded by Congress and approved by President George Bush in August 1990, designating the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month; and WHEREAS, in honor of National American Indian Heritage Month, community celebrations as well as numerous cultural, artistic, educational and historical activities have been planned; NOW, THEREFORE, I, BRIAN SANDOVAL, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, do hereby proclaim November 2011, as AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE MONTH IN NEVADA

With Nevada Day finally here, it’s time to shout: Let’sGet it On.
Beginning this weekend, the Silver State celebrates and toasts its admission to the Union. The Nevada party first got its start in 1864 and has been chugging along for 147 years. While everything that goes on in Las Vegas, is supposed to stay in Las Vegas, as the saying goes, Nevadans want everyone to know that whatever goes on in Carson City during the weekend celebration, will probably wind up on video tape.
Beer poured by the kegs, chili served by the buckets and enough sausage and hamburgers to feed hungry cowboys and cowgirls from Laughlin to Gerlach, Nevada Day weekend promises to dish out plenty of Wild West revelry.
With diversity that runs north to south and all places in between, where cowboys and miners mix it up with card sharks and climbers, the Nevada statehood four-day celebration is like no other.

Eclectic activities highlight Nevada’s character and those who have brought the state to larger-than-life proportions.
Pulling out all the stops, Nevada Day organizers make sure there’s plenty to do during before, during and after the parade, including free music and arts shows, a carnival packed with thrill-seeking rides, a flap-jack pancake breakfast, walk, trot and running events, a World Championship Rock Drilling Contest, a must-see beard and whisker contest and a chili feed that would make even the most staid politician sweat. Here’s the game plan:

The Carson City Ghost Walk is this Saturday, October 23.The Ghost Walk is a guided walk by period costumed guides through our historic district.A selected number of homes will be open for viewing and inside these homes will be actors dressed in period costume portraying historic characters who haunt the home or city.It is a very professional well done tour and very popular.The tours begin at 10:00 a.m. and leaves every half hour until 2:00 p.m.There are two different tours that leave each half hour.This year they are called “The Curses” and the “The Rumors”.
This year I was asked to do one of the locations as a true ghost hunt experience.I invited my friend Sandie to assist me on the tours.Sandie and I are both psychic/mediums.We work with a paranormal group called “The Thin Veil Investigators” and do ghost hunts nearly every weekend.
St Charles Hotel hallway with no orb
This summer I hosted a segment on a new T.V. series “My Ghost Story”.Sandie caught on video a claw on one of our hunts.This video was used on “My Ghost Story” and I narrated the story of our experience that produced this video.Thin Veil Investigators are currently working on 2-3 segments for next year’s season of “My Ghost Story”.
On the Carson City Ghost Walk we will be sharing our experiences at the St. Charles Hotel on the Cursers Tour.The St. Charles is one of the segments we are working on for “My Ghost Story”.
Our tour of the St. Charles will be interactive.We will explain what are normal feelings, reactions, etc. that happen during a live hunt.We will ask the tour to participate and let us know if they have been touched, have chills, feel dizzy, etc.
You will meet Steve a recent tenant that passed a couple of years ago.Steve loves his picture to be taken and loves attention.So bring your cameras and tape recorders.Steve will not disappoint you.
Then there is Phil.We call him Mean Phil.He has serious personality issues.He is always mad, even when he is happy.He can’t appear happy he has a reputation to maintain!Phil is also very territorial and likes to pull women’s hair…one or two strands at a time.Phil is too special to go out on the outside deck to smoke, so you may smell his cigarette smoke when you enter his room.
St Charles Hotel with blue orb bottom/center
Today Sandie and I went to the St. Charles to “rehearse” our tour and the order we wanted to do it in.The St. Charles’ spirits were very active today.Sandie and I both experienced dizziness, headaches, difficulty breathing and temperature changes.
We went into Phil’s room to talk to him about the tour.Phil has to be coaxed and pampered.When we left Phil he was, of course, mad.A while later we were standing at the end of his hall and I looked down the hall, there was a darkness at the end by Phil’s door.Sandie said “Phil is throwing a tantrum about the tour.”And was he ever!The hall just got darker and darker.But Phil wouldn’t be Phil if he didn’t.If we now went and told him he wasn’t going to be visited by us on the tour, he would throw another tantrum and be mad that we were not including him.”Sandie will be giving Phil’s portion of the tour.She and Phil have a special relationship.She fights really well with him.The two of them together can be quite funny at times.Sandie knows just how to push his buttons.So no telling how he will behave.
We then went in to see Steve.Now this is a whole different animal.Steve is a great big guy and a happy guy.He embraces company eagerly.He will perform just to please.Steve is one of our favorites.Today he was very, very excited about the upcoming tour.I know this sounds silly but he really is excited.Remember spirits were people just like you and I.Just because you pass on doesn’t change who you are.
We went up to the third floor to see the old lady in one of the rooms where she undoes the bed.You make the bed and return awhile later to find it torn up.
While we were up there I took a picture down the hall.A small blue energy showed up on the wall.I wonder if it is not the little boy that resides on this floor who calls for his momma.(see photo and evp) st-charles-momma-evp2
Blue orb closer look
We visited a number of our favorite spirits at the St. Charles today.But I was so exhausted from them feeding off my energy.When I returned to work I found it difficult to work from being so tired.
Sandie and I are looking forward to Saturday.If Saturday is anything like today, I will be in bed by 6:00 p.m. that day!
Sandie and I are putting together photos, video and evps that we have acquired on our visits to the St. Charles to share with the tours.
Come share our experience at the St. Charles this Saturday.Steve, Phil, Larry and all the other spirits are looking forward to meeting you!

Trains, the king of railroading publications, included a major feature article on the Virginia & Truckee, the queen of shortline railroads in its August 2010 edition.
“It doesn’t seem real: this apparition of a steam locomotive and two coaches bursting out of the darkness and into the dawn of the Nevada desert. But this is indeed a ghost train of the legendary Virginia & Truckee, the filthy-rich gold-and silver-hauling short line that beguiled followers, back from the dead. After an investment of more than $40 million, 17 miles of it is among the living again despite being torn up almost 70 years ago. How it came back is one of the most amazing tales of American railway preservation.”
The Historic V&T Railroad
So began the piece by Jim Wrinn, and what followed was a six-page spread with glorious photos detailing the background of the famed railroad’s reconstruction and recent opening along the original route between Virginia and Carson cities and its role as the area’s newest major tourism attraction. The monthly magazine reaches an audience of 92,110 readers and the advertising equivalency – what the space editorial space would have cost if purchased as advertising, was $22,032. The story also details the dedication of the Gray family through the years to keep the V&T operational, as well as the efforts over the past 15 years for its “back to the future” saga. A sidebar included information on the numerous appearances of V&T trains in Hollywood films, including Cecil B. DeMille’s classic, Union Pacific,” as well as mention of the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City where two engines, the Inyo and No. 25 reside.
The story, entitled, “Virginia & Truckee Lives!” waxed poetic of those original days in 1859 when the discovery of gold, then silver, started the boom. Mills processing ore needed better transportation than horse and wagon to remain economical, hence the birth of the V&T in 1869 to haul lumber, mining timbers, and fuel into Virginia City and the ore out. After its completion in 1872 between Reno, Virginia City and Carson City, the V&T stretched over 52 miles and averaged 36 trains daily, including first-class that connected with Central Pacific to San Francisco. It earned the nickname, “richest railroad in the world” paying dividends of $15,000 a month. By 1875, when most of the finds played out, the region’s economy plummeted. The Great Depression forced the railroad to abandon the line between Virginia City and Carson City in 1938, with the tracks lifted in 1941. Hollywood saved the railroad in the ‘30s and ‘40s, highlighting the antique steam locomotives, but it wasn’t enough, with thelast train running to Reno in 1950.
Lucius Beebe, railroad author, journalist and syndicated writer, who edited the Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City, wrote, “Railroads such as the V&T do not die, but live on in the hearts of men forever.” He called it right: The V&T is living large.

I have been enjoying searching out great Carson City dining; let me tell you about a couple of my latest discoveries: San Marcos Grill, 260 East Winnie Lane, in the same mall as the Salvation Army store and Doppelgangers Brewery, right downtown at 302 N. Carson Street
At San Marcos Grill, you can order your guacamole prepared tableside, and it is fantastic! You get to choose your own fresh ingredients and you decide just how “caliente” you want it to be. Owner Alvaro Brito uses only the finest meats and freshest vegetables which are cooked in pure vegetable oil to bring out the true flavors of authentic Mexican cooking. Their extensive menu offers a wide selection of dishes ranging from traditional to modern recipes, appealing to all tastes. Diners can request entrees made vegetarian-style or with any of their fresh meats. I have had their fish tacos several times; they are always freshly grilled and very tasty. I have also had their shrimp fajitas, and I would not hesitate to recommend this dish. It is one of the best I have tasted. This is a great place to take your friends and family and they even had a Mariachi playing when we were there on a Friday night . They have a full bar and their drink menu features 3 pages of tequilas. Margaritas, anyone? Check out their menu at www.sanmarcosgrill.com. Their hours are 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday, and 11am to 10pm Friday and Saturday. You can call them at 882-9797.
Another hidden gem in Carson City is Doppelgangers. According to their menu, a doppleganger is the ghostly double of a living person or your evil twin. After looking at all of the beer and wine choices on their extensive menu, I guess given enough time, you could become your evil twin while enjoying their delicious fare. Each menu choice has a beer or wine pairing suggestion to make things even more enjoyable. I sampled their Signature Salad which is a crunchy combination of green peppers, mushrooms, onions, bacon, cheese and the house creamy Italian dressing. I had mine with chicken, but it is also available with steak. Very satisfying. I have also tried the BLT and So Much More, which is a wonderful combination of red onion, avocado, jack cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato served with a garlic aioli. I will definitely return for this.
The menu contains 10 appetizers, soups, a variety of sandwiches and pastas, steaks and pizza. Everyone in your party should be happy at Doppelgangers. The patio on Curry Street is perfect for enjoying our lovely spring and summer weather and very kid friendly. I took my grandchildren there several times last summer and I know they would recommend the chicken fingers and fries served with a delicious honey mustard sauce. Lets not forget that Doppelgangers is the only brewery in Carson City and they serve several hand crafted brews including: Battle Born Blonde Ale, Genoa Pale Ale and Carson Sierra Lite, to name a few. They also have lots of special events planned, you can find out more by going to their web site at www.doppelgangersbrewery.com If nothing else, please treat yourself to a great meal and a great beer on their outside patio…..what could be better? They are open Sun-Tues from 11am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 11am till? , but the kitchen closes at 10pm. You can call them at 882-7787.
