With weather cooling off and snow falling in the Cascades finally I thought it would be interesting to extend our travels to NW Nevada, high desert. This is some of the most remote areas in the country. I had a chance to purchase a Garmin In Reach Mini. It is a satellite communication device. It permits my family to know where I am regardless of cellular coverage. Technology is making travel in remote areas and maintain communications with others.
We set up camp in an old gravel stock pile site. It had good south exposure so our solar panel was able to generate a fair amount of power each day when the sun was not covered by clouds.
I love this sign. So many people travel back roads without any concern about their safety. Being an old Boy Scout "be prepared" I always carry self rescue supplies.
Some call this area desolate, I call it beautiful. During the 5 days we only saw a few people on the county roads and none on the back roads.
The BLM has several homes in the back country that travelers can stay in. They had springs, propane stoves ( you bring your own propane) .
Bobbe and Molly in the trailer between our adventures.
A second building. All of the ones we saw were very nice and clean.
All of the comfort of home.
More wide open spaces to enjoy.
Not a lot of wildlife but those we saw could sure run fast.
