If you already have your game plan, it’s time to get out there and start exploring. Don’t forget to share your adventures with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using #nvmaghunt to document your travels. So, for the sake of the Silver State, stay safe, have fun, and start your adventure!
The Silver State Scavenger Hunt Details:
Once again, we’ve split the state into two zones — Northern and Southern — and chose 14 notable railroad destinations in each. The official list of destinations that each participant must visit is published in the July, August 2018 issue of Nevada Magazine.
Simply pick a zone, visit 10 of the 14 locations in that zone, snap a photo of yourself holding the JULY/AUGUST 2018 issue of Nevada Magazine at each location, and email all 10 photos to us at nvmaghunt@gmail.com.
Click here for complete rules.
This year’s prizes include:
LAND ROVER PRIZE PACKAGE (One winner from each zone)
This grand prize includes an off-road experience in a Land Rover. The prize gives the winner a chance to explore some of the state’s coolest locations while riding in a Land Rover. Breakfast and lunch is catered, and the lucky explorer gets to ride and drive with professionals at Land Rover.
NEVADA NORTHERN RAILWAY PRIZE PACKAGE (One winner from each zone)
The Be the Engineer prize package allows the winner to climb aboard a historic steam engine to learn the basics. Then it’s your turn! Climb up into the engineer's seat and receive personal instructions from your mentor engineer on controlling the throttle and brake. Once the basics are under your belt, the moment comes for you to sound the whistle, have your hand on the throttle, and head up the mainline toward the mines. This is real standard-gauge mountain railroading on America's best-preserved railroad. You are at the throttle. You are the engineer. You are running a steam locomotive.
The first 25 people to complete will receive a free copy of our “Historical Nevada” book!
