Don't "Lock Your Love*", go to Elko instead, see the original Ruby Valley Pony Express Cabin at the Northeastern Nevada Museum. Stay at the Red Lion Inn in Elko unless the Stockmen's turns the heat on.
History of Helper, Utah
*Lovelock, Nevada is OK, but their new slogan is "Lock Your Love." OK, I guess they didn't want to go with "Round your Courthouse," or "Stop at the Depot," but I would've stuck with "Banana Belt." The Lock your Love slogan was seen in August 2006 on an I-80 billboard. Loverslock.com continues this punny business, it turns out you really can learn about Love in Lovelock, Nevada. It's "worth a lock," but then you might want to go to Elko.
