Lincoln County, Nevada

This post is for all of my Riding Family relatives.

I have come across a series of books set in, of all places, Lincoln County, Nevada! I am not kidding!!! The Spider Latham Mysteries by Liz Adair. How's that for a Panaca name? (She is married to Derrill Adair from Panaca. One of the people she notes in the acknowledgements is Shirley White the grandma of my high school sweetheart. Shirley is also an Adair from Panaca.)

Okay, so this is not a "Great Literary Work" but it's kind of fun. The main character, Spider Latham, is the Lincoln County Deputy Sheriff. He investigates the happenings around the county. His character spends time at the warm springs, the Panaca Emporium, the funeral Home in Caliente and the County Court House and Sentinel office in Pioche. "Pioche was the county seat. It consisted of a dozen streets stacked untidily on the side of a hill that was riddled with mine shafts." Now if that doesn't conjure some pictures and memories you just have a very cold heart! j/k

I've only read The Lodger which is the first book. I think there are two or three others.

Well, I just wanted to share with you while I ponder on some happy times.
