We got away from home for a trip into Nevada a week or so ago. We were on a search. Our story is posted to our blog and can be found here -

White Mountains Nevada - May 2018 - Part One

 

White Mountains Nevada - May 2018 - Part Two

We hope you enjoy another one of our adventures. No developed campground stays were involved in this trip. :)

Please enjoy!

Nice campsite! And a mystery to solve . . .

The feral horse and burro population is a tough one, especially for indigenous species trying to eke out a living.
But, to be fair, grazing allotments and use of spring water for cattle is quite an impact too, especially on arid lands.
I do admire the mustangs when I see them though.

Awaiting Part II and the second role of the dice with 60/40 odds.

You sure know how to keep someone looking for more. If you don't solve the mystery you'll drive me crazy :)
