Spring Valley Nevada
Spring Valley Nevada – If you drive east of Pioche Nevada you will find a very interesting place with a history that one might not think about these days.
This area is still considered desert, but here in spring valley the water flows continuously from natural springs. It is said to have at least 150 springs through out the valley.
But the interesting thing about this area is how folks made a living here. They tried growing crops like wheat, barley and oats. But the freezing temperatures, grasshoppers and animals would ruin their harvest. But a few people realized a new crop could be had in the form of ICE.
This valley would flood every summer during the monsoon rains and then freeze. So the settlers made special tools to cut the ice into blocks. They built ice houses under ground and sold the ice blocks the next summer to the town folks and kept a lot for themselves to keep their food cold all summer.
People have always found a way to survive and provide for their families. Good hard working folks learning to live off of the land that is provided to them.

I think it would be difficult to live in a covered wagon … but I guess they were used to the rigors present back in those days. We can’t imagine it though.
I know, especially if they had children
Oh, I wasn’t thinking of that – oh yes!
