You will notice that we include some recommendations on not only how to get to the various sites, but our estimation on what vehicle you might need, to wit:

	Road conditions warrant at least a high clearance vehicle due to rocks, washouts, and the like, and you will be comforted by having 4WD
	The road was smooth and accessible enough that you could take your mom's minivan
	The site is most likely underwater now
	The site is on military property or some other place where people are likely to shoot at you and bury you on site.
	The site is on private property and the owners don't want you there
	Muddy or other particularly nasty conditions warrant a serious rig to even approach the site
	A lot of work will be required to get to this site. You'll want to bring a friend that you can eat if you have to.
	Some people like to play with their winches and recovery gear all day long and this might be a fine opportunity

Most of the sites we've documented are accessible by a high clearance vehicle, 4WD, or just a regular car. But, as anyone who has ever traveled in Nevada knows, road conditions are subject to change. What might have been a nice road when we went down it could have turned into a nasty piece of business over the past few years. Or weeks, Or days. Or in the last hour.

No matter what you're driving, you'll need to include some basic survival gear, as most of these places are quite literally in the middle of nowhere and if something bad happens, you will want to be prepared.

There are plenty of places to go to that can recommend survival and recovery gear to bring, so we're not going to get into that here too much. But you can basically break it down into two groups; you, and your vehicle.

Some suggestions:

MotorTrend Off-Road Survival List: Here’s What You Should Bring
Ironman 4x4 : 5 THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR OFF-ROADING SURVIVAL LIST
Where2Wheel Off Road Blog : Your Must-Carry Survival Kit When Offroading
Dixie 4 Wheel Drive: The Off-Roading Emergency Kit To Have In Moab

You'll note some basic requirements in most of these.

YOU: Food-- especially water-- clothing, shelter, first aid, communications, navigation
VEHICLE: Recovery, repair, fuel

Naturally, you would not have to worry about any of this if you would just use the common sense God gave a squirrel and let us Explore Nevada So You Don't Have To!™, but that's up to you. Here is the Lincoln Highway checklist.

While we do give directions and coordinates in the sites we document, you may find other ways to get there. When we plan a trip, we usually inspect the area first using Google Earth, which will give you a fairly good indication of what roads are available. Unfortunately, the resolution isn't good enough to see locked gates or other potential obstacles, and a common comment during our explorations is, "Well, it looked like a road from outer space."

Also, if you would be so kind, when visiting any historical site, please don't be a douchebag like these foreign morons at Rhyolite, and climb on or disturb ruins. I can't tell you the number of sites we've revisited only to fnd a house that used to be standing now finally succumbing to the elements and fallen down. There's not need to accelerate the procedure like these useless mouth-breathers.

NRS 381.225 makes it a crime to vandalize, deface, or write or paint or carve initials or words on either: historic or prehistoric sites. Note that people accused of defacing historic sites on federal (like BLM) property probably would probably face federal rather than state charges for the destruction of federal property under 18 U.S.C. § 1361.
