Review Quotes: "I've traveled with a lot of folks in Nevada, and there are few I'd trust more to lead the way than Sydney Martinez. Sydney can point down a valley and read it like a map, with springs and bars and people all marked as points of interest. But more than that, she has a keen sense of the spirit of the place, and how to find it. If there's anybody that could write a book on Nevada--not just about what to see, but how to look closer--it's Sydney Martinez."--Fil Corbitt, award-winning radiomaker, musician, and writer
