Nibbling at Nevada — 5 Comments

  1. My wife and I are just beginning to explore the desert and we find we are drawn back to it more and more often. Mostly we have camped in the Mojave and the Colorado Desert areas of California, but we’ve also managed to spend time in Arizona. Not as much in Nevada, but it’s on the list. It is hauntingly beautiful, awesome in it’s starkness. We love the absolute, total quiet of some of the places we have camped. We have also used this website as a resource for places to “light out for.” Thank you.

    • Thanks John,

      It’s great to know I’m not the only “desert rat” roaming the West. This trip, after literally decades of wandering Nevada, I’m still discovering places I haven’t seen or visited before. It’s a really big place (and still 85% public land!).

      G.

  2. That’s beautiful country! I pit crewed on a couple of Frontier 500 races (LV to Reno) in the 80s. Since I always liked to pit in distant spots, I always drew the pit north of Tonopah, NV in the Toiyabe NF. When you think national forest, you think trees. Nope! This was sage covered plains. But it was full of life. Every day we had wild mustangs wander by our pit, curious about who these people were.

    The arrowhead shale we had to traverse was brutal and caused me two flats one year. We always traveled with extra tubes and two spares, so we were OK with the tire damage. But gosh I sure like that country for the solitude.

    • we are Northwest of round Mountain, and when you get up into the mountains, there is quite a bit of forestation. Especially around the riparian areas.
      We’re exploring it for the next few days, so stay tuned for my next post.
