Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 07/28/2011 - 12:19pmI haven't been doing hiking of late because of a back problem, but with my new electronic "tickle belt" I'm able to hit the hills again.
I recently returned to my old favorite Dead Man's Creek on Eastlake Boulevard about 5 miles from downtown Carson. It was 90-plus that day so I turned back burned out before reaching the gazebo that perches at the end of the trail, but I did discover a new sign at the trailhead, courtesy of Nevada Division of State Parks. It's one of the best trail signs I've seen in recent times.
