Corvettes in Fallon, Nevada
I may be taking a teaching job in Fallon, NV, which is sixty miles east of Reno. Does anyone know about the area? Does it have all the comforts of a comparably-sized city in the east? Are Corvettes readily available there (maybe that's the most important question for this crowd)?

The main drag is only a couple of miles long. Couple of casinos (Stockman's and The Depot), Wal Mart, and a few motels.
A lot of the people I know who where stationed there lived in Fernley (30 miles west where you get off I-80 to go to Fallon). That is another small town but a lot closer to Reno. Reno does have a lot to do.
For Corvettes, I would go to Reno.
These are my personal observations based on talking to friends who have been stationed there and having spent a total of about 5 months (in 3 week segments) there training over the last 9 years.
BTW: Fallon is the high desert (4000'). Very dry and can be 90-100 in the day and 50 at night.

Steve, thanks for your reply. No surprises in your observations. My friend, Commander Ian Vatet (S-3 NFO) has given his observations too. He said it's a nice place. Take care.

Farming is the major source other the NAS.
Full NHRA division 7 drag strip. One of the best tracks on the west coast. I used to race there or years.
