Our week in the Mono Lake area has come to an end. A good week it was, with a good helping of hiking, sight seeing, and even socializing. Our week was spent with the most amazing view of Mono Lake on one side, the Eastern Sierras on another, and a...
These past few days have been more of a blur than anything else: A night was socializing, drinking, and playing some card game that just about split my side from laughter. A game of name-that-tune of which I was only able to name two; Voodoo Child and Business Time –...
I don’t, but they do. They as in the others I am camped with (Aluminarium, theTravelingHaywoods, Russ & Todd in the WanderBus) and who invited me along with them on a trip into the Vegas area for a night on the town for dinner at I Love Sushi. I ordered...
Since leaving the Bryce Canyon area, where Moose and I boondocked a single night in the Dixie National Forest, things have been fairly uneventful. A 250 mile drive, spanning two days, resulted in us arriving at our destination of Lake Mead where we met up with a few other RVers...
As is usual for me, I do not get far on any given day. After leaving my Lake Mead boondocking location, I drove only 48 miles to a pre-planned and common boondocking place that overlooks Overton, NV (map below). It is nothing special in terms of location, but it does...
On the final day of my time at Lake Mead I visited the Redstone Dune Picnic area, which also has a short trail. The red sandstone rock formations were the star of the show, of course. T’was a short hike, but it tired Moose out enough to warrant a nap.
I’ve been boondocking at the Government Wash area of Lake Mead. It is free to camp here for up to 14 days. Truth be told, you do have to buy a weekly pass for $10 to make it official, but considering what you get for that $10 it is money...
Today we rolled out of Henderson and towards Hoover Dam, stopped 1 mile short of the Arizona border at the Hacienda Hotel & Casino. Not only did they have ample parking for trucks and RVs, it was quiet and warm enough to get a helluva-night’s sleep. We woke to...
On our third day of the first road trip in 2011, we stopped at Beatty, Nevada for the night. Just 6 miles outside of town is Rhyolite, a ghost town since the 20’s. It made for an easy afternoon stroll and was easy on the camera as well. After spending...
We arrived at GBNP late on Sunday evening, just before the sun began to set. Just enough daylight still to setup camp, prepare a quick meal, and watch the sun set over the mountains. Surprisingly, there is no fee to the park and camping was a mere $12 per night...
