This travelogue of "romantic" Nevada begins en route along the highway from Lake Tahoe (incorrectly identified as the second largest body of water in the world) to pass by some of the area's vistas of scenic grandeur, such as cave rock and Pyramid Lake. The area is rich in natural resources and once boasted a thriving mining trade centered on Virginia City, which is now relegated to virtual ghost town status. Law has allowed expedited divorces in the state, the six-week waiting period which often is spent by the imminent divorcees at one of the many dude ranches. The other place in the state associated with marriage and divorce is the small metropolis of Reno, self-proclaimed as The Biggest Little City in the World.
