This is intended to be a community links page for Elko, Elko County and northeastern Nevada. These are not the only web sites Elko has to offer. They are just the ones I have collected thus far that are obscure, interesting and in a few cases even a bit bizarre. A conscious effort has been made to exclude boring, repetitive, profane, naughty or inappropriate sites. This project started out as a one page collection of internet sites in Northeastern Nevada. I was delighted to find that there are so many neat sites in our area. Many are not to be found on the big search engines and have been tracked down or submitted to this links page. I hope you enjoy these pages and contact or visit some of the places of interest in person.

Many processors generally go well below the earth surface looking for ore or other natural resources. Some will use wells to drain down the water table and remove the ground water from work areas. This well water is typically clean enough to release into the natural watershed system of lakes, rivers and streams if the water temperature is within a couple of degrees of the natural water temperature. Because many wells go very deep, the well water temperature can be 10 to 20° F above the watershed temperature. Therefore, many mines have installed huge water cooling systems and structures to lower the well water temperature before releasing into the natural water course.
