Thanks for the adventure.

How cool, Geologyjohn! Thanks for your research. Where the site is located prompted my guess that he was a rancher. Good job, fellow "ologist."

Thanks for the report.  I've put seeing the shoreline tufas on my todo list.  

 

Thanks for the kind comment, sfn! Please contact me prior to heading into the "sinks" of Nevada.

 

Great report thank you. Glad we haven't seen temps in the 100s yet. Just warming up to the 80s and it feels too hot for me.

Thanks Occidental! We appreciate the kind comment. We were surprised at the heat, in places, while on our trip. They were higher than the forecasts. We, also, are not looking forward to another summer of record breaking heat and all the issues compounded by the heat.
