"The last of the many markers tucked away in Old Town Dayton. Stuffed, sealed, and delivered. I feel like I've already conquered Lyon County halfway just by visiting Dayton. And ... I pretty much have. Share the historic wealth a little there, Dayton? Then again, why stop a good thing?" -- June 2008
