Yes, they turned off the power again. We left the dark side and followed that siren voice calling us toward the light. We spent this power outage at Nevada's Valley of Fire. The story and photos can be found on our blog, link here -
Please enjoy coming along!

High heels and a fur coat on the trail? I have to admit I’ve seen a few crazy things in Nevada, but that’s one that has eluded me.
Thanks for another wonderful trip report. We were just talking about an early return to one of our favorite desert parks.

So far your trip reports are the only good thing from the PGE blackouts.

Super TR to a place we need to get back and visit again.
We were also driven out by the PSPS (blunt folks add an 'is' between each of the PS)
And .... another PSPS is forecast again tomorrow, which is hard on local businesses, government, and daily life.
Love the ram shots, Ski!

Beautiful report!
I have to say that before I found this site which subsequently led me to our first desert trip that I had no idea how beautiful the desert truly is.
Almost makes me want to move out West...

Beautiful area. Not a bad way to spend time in a blackout

Gorgeous sandstone layers... I have seen high heels on a hiking trail in Banff NP. I've also seen shoes duct taped to hold them together on the same trail. Hiking seems to attract lots of different kinds of folks. It's all good... hiking is great for the soul, no matter the sole.

Another great trip.
Nice to see you were guarded by the "rock warrior".
Nice story about the mob body drop.
Thanks for taking us along .
