outdoor nevada (create)

Not one to pass up an opportunity to take on a new mountain bike trail, John visits Spicer's Ranch, a 900 acre mecca for mountain bike enthusiasts. From there, John visits the 7J Ranch, a local cattle ranch that doubles as conservation and education ranch. Not far from the ranch at the Big Dune recreation area, John witnesses the mating of the Giuliani Beetle. Once a year, in a three-week window, for 20 minutes, tens of thousands of the Giuliani Beetles emerge from beneath the sands to mate and then re-bury themselves until the next year. It's an amazing sight.
