You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Pahranagat Valley''' is a [[Tonopah Basin]] landform in [[Lincoln County, Nevada]].<ref>((Cite web|title = Muddy Watershed -- 15010012 ((!)) Surf Your Watershed ((!)) US EPA|url = http://cfpub.epa.gov/surf/huc.cfm?huc_code=15010012|website = cfpub.epa.gov|access-date = 2015-11-11|language = en))</ref>

The more fertile part of Pahranagat Valley is a narrow ribbon of green (no more than ((convert|1|mi|km|adj=on)) wide), like an oasis in the vast Nevada desert. It is approximately ((convert|40|mi)) long, running north and south, and is watered by three large natural springs of water ([[Hiko Springs, Nevada|Hiko Springs]], [[Crystal Springs, Nevada|Crystal Springs]], and [[Ash Springs, Nevada|Ash Springs]]) and many smaller ones as well. It has four lakes, two near the north end of the valley (Nesbitt Lake and Frenchie Lake) and two towards the south end (Upper Pahranagat Lake and Lower Pahranagat Lake). The southern half of the valley, including the two lakes, is home to the [[Pahranagat Valley National Wildlife Refuge]].

Pahranagat Valley is bordered on the west by a range of mountains called the [[Mount Irish Range]] and then the [[Pahranagat Range]]. It is bordered on the east by the [[Hiko Range]]. [[Nevada State Route 318|State Route 318]] and then [[U.S. Route 93 (Nevada)|U.S. Route 93]] traverse the entire length of the valley.

The more inhabited areas in Pahranagat Valley include (from north to south) [[Hiko, Nevada|Hiko]], [[Ash Springs, Nevada|Ash Springs]], [[Richardville, Nevada|Richardville]], and [[Alamo, Nevada|Alamo]], with the town of Alamo being the largest and where all of the schools for the valley are located. The closest town to Pahranagat Valley is over ((convert|50|mi)) to the east at [[Caliente, Nevada]].

==History==
The [[Crystal Springs, Nevada|Crystal Springs]] area, used as a watering spot and campsite, was a principal stop-over on the [[Mormon Trail]] Alternate Route. In the late 1850s, the area was a haven for outlaws who pastured hundreds of heads of stolen cattle and horses on its meadows.

[[Silver]] ore was discovered in 1865 on [[Mount Irish, Nevada|Mount Irish]], and [[Logan, Nevada|Logan]] sprang briefly into existence. A mill to process the ore was built in [[Hiko, Nevada|Hiko]], the ruins of which are still in existence.

Since the late 19th century, Pahranagat Valley has been primarily an agricultural community. Presently, it is also a bedroom community for many who work in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], even though the commute is over ((convert|100|mi)) one way.

==Geology==
[[Image:AlamoBrecciaView.jpg|left|thumb|Landscape showing Alamo impact breccia (arrow) near Hancock Summit, Pahranagat Range, Nevada.]]
The geology of the region includes the [[Alamo bolide impact|Alamo meteor impact]], which scattered layers of impact debris across the area near Alamo.

==Flora and fauna==
The Pahranagat Valley is home to several endangered species, like ''[[Fluminicola merriami]]'', ''[[Bufo nelsoni]]'', and endemic subspecies of ''[[Gila robusta]]'', ''[[Rhinichthys osculus]]'', ''[[Crenichthys baileyi]]'', and ''[[Microtus montanus]]''.
