Rochelle Claire along a steep mountain goat trail off of Brunswick Canyon Road, Carson City, NV. Okay, it's not quite that romantic. It's just a motorcycle trail, but fun to hike when there are no motorcycles zooming along it. It's not really been a whirlwind tour, I just thought that was a fun title. We've been allotted up to 14 days (and some places up to a month) per camp we've visited, so, it's been a slow, easy pace northward up 395. It's obviously been a while since I've posted, so, I'll summarize our travels below in photos. Lone Pine, CA - This was one of my favorite places for long hikes. One Friday I decided to be ambitious and Rochelle and I hiked up this same road and looped right around back to camp. Our goal was to reach those mountains in the distance. Well, they are a lot further than they look. Two hours later a very thirsty and tired woman and dog arrived back in camp. I did bring food and drink, but, nevertheless, our feet ached and we didn't reach the mountains. Next time around! March 14, 2014 - Hello, readers! It's yours truly still at Lone Pine, CA taking a selfie. "Selfie" is a new, but probably old term I've recently added to my vocabulary. Lone Pine, CA, March 23, 2014 hike prep - Yours truly again this time ready for those pesky gnats! I'm so glad I spent the money and got a roll of this no-see-um netting. I've made my own campervan screening out of it too! Just clip it up and around the door seal and batta boom! A simple screen doorway! Keep them buggers out and peace within! Bishop, CA, March 29, 2014 - Ahhh! Another hot spring! This is Keough Hot Sprong aka the "Hot Ditch" as I was told the locals call it. There's a paid version, but I prefer free and natural! I visited here once a week on Saturdays for a about a month. Bishop, CA, Bishop Park, March 29, 2014 - This was another favorite visit of the dog and I. Bishop is another RV friendly town, so full timers, you might want to mark that down. They willingly let folks overnight camp at the main grocery store, Vons. We did so for a week between stays on BLM land to stretch out our time in Bishop. Vons is a decent parking lot, but the midnight sweeper can take some getting used to on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Bishop, CA March 29, 2014 - Lenticular clouds! I have a special fascination with this pretty prevalent southwest, USA phenomena. Wild Willy's Hot Spring, near Lake Crowley, CA April 20, 2014 - This isn't snow, my friends, this is mineral salts left behind by drought. It dries your skin to the touch. This is one of the back routes to Wild Willy's Spring. Wild Willy's Hot Spring Okay, that's enough catch up for now. There's more to come!
