There is literally nothing out that way.

the only thing worth going out there for is if you draw an elk tag in the deep creek mts that are right there.

If you look on a map and try to find the middle of nowhere, and then go another 50 miles beyond, you'd be able to see Ibapah in the distance. Seriously, there is almost nothing out there. There's a school, an LDS church building and a few houses. Would the company be putting you up in a trailer or RV? If you go north 60 miles, you'll reach Wendover, on the Utah/Nevada border. It's about 5,000 people between both sides of the border. 140 miles north is Wells, NV, with about 1,500 people. 120 miles southwest is Ely, NV, with about 4,000 people. It's a 3 hour drive to get to Salt Lake City.
Oh, and it's really hot in the summer. 100-110 is typical. So, if you're someone who likes some solitude, miles of nothingness and only occasionally needs to go to town, you might love it. As I understand it, North Dakota has lots of wide open, lonely places, so you may do okay. But for people who've never visited the rural western US, they can't comprehend how many hundreds of miles of nothing there is out here. Don't get me wrong. I love it in the west. But it's not like the midwest or the east coast. On this map, there aren't hardly any cities with more than 10,000 people within the circle.  |

The job I'm taking is going to be with the BIA on the reservation been trying to look up stuff but have had little to no luck finding anything out so far. Also as for the heat I'm guessing it's a dry heat like the Texas desert?

I spent a summer in Gold Hill, UT while going to school long ago. That's a suburb of Ibapah. Not much pavement here.
Housing when I was there was bring-your-own. There is rumored to be a trading post in town, but I've never been there. Closest grocery store is in West Wendover, NV. It's a 3 or 4 casino town on the border about an hour north with a couple of gas stations There's a few ghost towns in the area, lots of sagebrush. Some mineral opportunities in the area; geode beds at Dugway, topaz at Topaz mountain, snowflake obsidian near Delta, trilobites near Delta. Lots of open BLM land for shooting. |

It was a true general store, and the proprietor told us that things were mostly calm, but that once in a while the locals would get drunk and come bang on his door in the early morning for more beer. He also said that many of them spent all of their monthly check from the government in a week or so, then just bartered with him for the rest of the month. |
