Let's give Nevada a try

What city do people think of when you mention Nevada? VEGAS....right? Well, no Las Vegas or the other big city, Reno, on this trip. We're going to be desert rats in small towns. 

Here's the population breakdown of the towns we're going to visit: 175 people,  68 people, 182 people, 1176 people, 1807 people, 217 people..

You're asking, "What is there?" 

Bonneville Salt Flats • A spot where you can view the curvature of the earth • Bristlecone Pine Trees that are between 4,000 and 5,000 years old • Wild Burro Refuge • Death Valley • East entrance to Yosemite • Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains • Mono Lake • Bodie Ghost Town • Basque food restaurants • Alabama Hills Rock Formations • tiny BBQ restaurants • Star Wars Canyon....and much more!

So....watch for upcoming entries as we poke around the great state of Nevada !

Getting eager to take off again!

 It's early March and the winter is finally starting to relax it's hold on us. Weather is in the 50's, almost getting into the 60's ! 

One thing nice about the winter....we get great views from our deck during the morning...and afternoon....

...and, yes, we got some snow....

We're getting cabin fever and are itching to get back out on the road but we have doctor's appointments in late April, so May looks like when we will start. I think we'll do some northern Nevada as a shake-down cruise before our serious summer travels. Here's our route so far...

We'll see Shoshone Falls, the curvature of the earth at Wendover, the Great Basin National Park from Ely, Death Valley for 4 days, watch the jets fly through Star Wars Canyon (see link below),see the best ghost town in the states...Bodie, California... kayak on Mono Lake, see some friends in the different cities, then home. One month.

Watch these jets  at Star Wars Canyon just west of Death Valley!

So glad when this masking is all over....
