I'd like to check out the white pine county airports myself, but how
do you say them?

ely is E-LEE or E-LIE ? and hiko is HEE-KO or HIGH-KO ?


It is "E-Lee", an example of proper usage would be "OK I made it to E-
Lee, now how do I get out of here to Parowan" :-)

Nobody cares about Hiko, you can pronounce it however you like.

Wikipedia has place name pronunciations. Except they also apparently
don't care how Hiko is pronounced.
