A series of small storms have been rolling through here. A short break was promised as a ridge of high pressure moved the storms to the north. We took advantage, climbed into the truck, and headed into Nevada. Want to tag along? The story and photos are now up on our blog -

Another NV valley to explore. Drove up through Luna and Gabbs on the way home from fires in CA last fall. Nice country all through there. Thanks for the trip report!

Great report on an area I’d like to visit. Re: the fighter jets. We live below final approach to Pt Mugu so we see the Super Hornets and other types of planes fly over on their way back from training over Death & Saline Valleys. It always brings future travels to mind.

As I said, it makes you feel like a kid. I was surprised there were no handles to grab to make moving around easier, but there's not much space to move anyway. Thanks Frank!

You are very welcome Taku! Yup, so much to see and explore. At lunch today I was looking at maps and Google Earth and noting so much more to go out searching for. It keeps us young, healthy and happy!

Thanks MDR! Our last trip in the Gabbs Valley area also featured a bunch of Hornets in the sky. :)

Thanks for letting us tag along! The photos and commentary are very good at making us feel like we were along for the journey. The sagebrush is calling!
