The last part of March Julie and I dropped over into Nevada to wander about for several days. We had no destinations when we set out. We would just see what was around the next corner. All parts are now posted on our blog. You may find them here -

Thanks Monte.It's sad to see how our fellow "humans"treat nature.

Your history info is always interesting.

Thanks.

I'm so grateful that it is still possible to find places to camp where the only sounds are those of the wind, screech owls, and coyotes! Thanks for sharing!

I love volcanic areas. I'll have to put that one on my list. I have a feeling I know what happened at Benton :(

"The snow capped peaks in the distance are the northern end of the White Mountains - Montgomery Peak in California, and next to it, the lower in elevation Boundary Peak, Nevada's highest point."

 

Thank you for the orientation.  Now I have a better sense of where you are.

 

Interesting volcanics, and a chunk of sedimentary deposit in the mix?
