Where in the World is Minden, Nevada?????

Well another adventure had presented itself to us. Nate was offered a summer internship with General Electric as a junior mechanical engineer. After much deliberation and researching we have decided to accept it, so unless something better comes along it looks like we will be spending our summer in Minden, Nevada. It is about 30 minutes outside of Lake Tahoe which means that it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and there is a ton of stuff to do around there. It is about 584 miles or 9 1/2 hours from Logan or about 485 miles or 7 1/2 hours from Twin. We are excited about this opportunity because it would allow Nate to add more experience and a big name in the mechanical engineer world to his resume. Right now he is currently working at the Space Dynamics Lab here at Utah State in conjunction with the Russians and NASA developing things on the International Space Station to grow plants in. He loves his work here and learning new things. He is such a Nerd sometimes.
