Glad you guys got out! Looks like a fun new area to plat in!

Thanks Smoke!

 

So glad that your wonderful TR's continue. I was camping the same area in mid-May. Lots of wind and rain and just hunkering down. I too noticed the #'d campsites along the river and couldn't help but think that things will never be better than they are now. 

 

Thanks Ronin! I'm going to reserve judgement on how it might turn out with the change to a Nevada State Recreation Area. As visitation grows - it is going to happen - improvements will be necessary to prevent harm to the land.

Thanks for the report. Seems as if Twin Lakes is always a zoo, even back in the late 70s and early 80s when on the hunt for big Browns. I need to revisit the area...soon!

 

Thanks for the comment! We were hoping the weather forecast would have thinned out the crowds at Twin Lakes, especially on a Sunday night. Instead, it just drove them inside their fiberglass and sheet metal shacks. :)

 

Great TR.  Felt like you helped me "see" the beauty in simple everyday pleasures.

 

You are very kind, thank you Vic!

I love to be hunkered down in my warm dry camper as a storm rolls through--kind of like being back in the womb I guess.

 

Thanks for sharing AND I noticed you went with a bigger font on your blog.  My 53 y/o eyes appreciate that.

 

We do too, GroovyDad! Seems like we sleep best with rain coming down on the roof above. Thanks for the approval of larger font. It sure is handy for me right now. :)

 

Thanks for the report.

Great area to sit and watch the river flow by.

Glad to see you and Ted are doing well.

Frank

 

Thank you Frank!

It sure was! Every trip we celebrate that there are so many varied and wonderful places close by. Thank you for the comment.

Beautiful area. You confirmed the story about the purchase of those ranches. I had read something a year or so ago. I thought part of the plan was to stock and make the area a fly fishing meca. Nothing like sitting by the river. Take care and get yourself back to [emoji817]%. A friend of mine was confined to bed and home for months after retina re-attachment. Thanks for another great report. jd
