Re the Airbnb across from Bonnie Claire: $500/night with a two-night minimum...I think I'll keep sleeping in the 4Runner.
Maybe I overlooked something, but it's not clear to me just how much you are roughing it in that house. It says there are bathrooms, presumably with running water. But is there electricity? Air conditioning or heat? That's close enough to Hwy 93 to have cell service at least.
There's enough hints in the article that one should be able to find it on GE. I'm guessing the power is solar panels on the sloped sections of the roof. It says "spring fed". Hmm. Looks like you can see the playa in the background in at least one pic. No AC I guess, based on the description of ventilation. Saw $250 cleaning fee some place. Looks like a nice house, though.
I guess I should check in with Jack before I buy any property in remote parts of Nevada!

And maybe a decrease in reservations at that cool AIR-B-NB?
It could be several years before they start to do ground work. They have to get permits and approval from BLM. And then there are those annoying funding issues.

Not to mention those annoying activists ...
Sarcobatus Flat could start to get a little congested.
First it was the $500 a night Air B and B rental, then it was the Iconic Mineral's lithium project, and now Boulevard Associates LLC wants to build a 1,000 megawatt solar generating facility, a 1,000 megawatt energy storage facility and a 230 KV generation-tie line on 10,000 acres of public land.
The solar facility is called Sawtooth Energy Center and the project would be placed on the land here...

If approved the project will start in the last quarter of 2023.
