Overnighted at Green Mountain on our way out. Not far from Fallon but very private. Did get some jets overhead from the nearby Naval Station but none at night
On the way to Monitor Valley we saw wild horses, and an antelope that thought it was a cow.
It finally got up and reluctantly moved aside.

The next day presented an opportunity I have been looking forward to for a while. Some of you may recall the Warner Mountains Rally trip report where Stew and Ski3pin came to my defense against the Evil Overlord Dirty Dog. For that they became my new best friends and, as a token of my gratitude, I promised to provide them with the drink of their choice should we ever meet. The last night of our trip was spent on Green Creek Road with Ski3pin and The Lady! As promised, they received a gift of good coffee. What fun it was to spend time in camp sharing stories and experiences with these two. Talk about a connection with the outdoors, Ski was able to find us a camp on the creek with no mosquitos when everywhere else they were swarming. As a bonus, we got to see a Rosy Boa, a first for me!
Don't worry Stew, I'll have your Guiness when the time comes.

I sure hope so! And thanks for the pic of the Rosy Boa, Ted. I've never seen one of them before!

It was hot when we got to the petroglyphs - 116°! That was a drop from the 120° we hit on the drive in. So we made a brief tour of the petroglyphs then climbed higher to find a shady place to camp.
Great trip & pics but 116-120 !!! We reserve that part of NV for the late fall, winter, early spring. What are you, mad dogs or englishmen?
