I've spent a good two years in rural Nevada for work, and I learned the hard way that a lot of the coolest places are not easily accessible via the internet. I've compiled detailed directions for those hidden lakes that you won't find easily on Google Maps, hopefully it'll save you from getting lost in the high desert like I endured several times.
