Well, you all have made me jealous once again. I was curious as to how the different colored pictographs were made. I queried the Internet and found this: "Paint for rock art was made by mixing ground-up pigments such as hematite, limonite, or charcoal with an organic binder such as blood...

What a great Thanksgiving tradition you all have. One of my most memorable Thanksgiving's was camping with my kids in Death Valley. I really enjoyed your TR, especially your photographs. I really liked the one of the tree with the roots growing out of the sandstone (or at least I think it...

So, I updated this post with everyone's end of the year totals. Let me know if you need me to additions or corrections. One common thing that most of you said is that you hope to camp more in 2017--I do too. I'll do another post like this at the end of 2017 and we can compare. I might even...

Looks like we had a respectable number of camp days this year. If you haven't already reported your days, now's the time. Happy New Year to all!

If you think the concession area is gross now, when I was a kid they prepared and served fried chicken dinners down in the cavern and the whole place smelled like stale, musty, KFC.

Have a great time! I was just there and the North Pass Road was in great shape. I also heard from another camper that the Lippincott pass was also in great shape.

I'm jealous of your visit to Gila Hot Springs. Even though I'm from NM and lived there a good chunk of my life, I've never made it to Silver City. I hear it's a little gem though and it's on my list. Whatever you do, don't leave NM without getting a few plates of our great green and red...

Make sure that you check the "How many nights did you camp in 2016" thread and let us know your tally at the end of the year. You should have a very respectable number of nights under your belt...

Looks like he had a little too much Yuletide nog...

Ouch! A toothache on the road is particularly miserable. Hope it's better soon. Sent from my SM-G920V using Wander The West mobile app

I keep a little spreadsheet of each trip: dates, places, # of nights, highlights, people I meet, etc. I'm going to try and remember to start recording the GPS coordinates of these places so that I can easily revisit them and share them with others who are interested.

Keep em coming...

Let everyone know how many nights you camped in 2016 I'll keep updating this first post so that everyone can compare at a glance. * days are estimated GroovyDad.................................. 20 Foy.............................................. 3 Stalking...

I cheated winter for a few days and escaped to the Saline Valley, where I soaked, napped, read, hiked and soaked some more. S.V. is almost holy in my book. Here's a link to my blog post: SALINE VALLEY HOT SPRINGS

Nice trip report Ski. I don't think I'd have had the guts to go out to rural Nevada when it's that cold outside. How were the piñon nuts? I just paid a RIDICULOUS price for a little bag of them at Raley's, but being from New Mexico, they're part of my fall tradition. I've collected them in...

I love the coyote photograph Sage; they're one of my favorite critters.

Congrats on the soon to be new rig! Like the others, I'm looking forward to your build photos.

Here's what I do. It may not be the coolest looking system, but it sure is practical and I can hold a lot more gear in these bins than I could in little drawers and such.

I'm jealous! Benton is one of my favorite places to visit and I promised I'd make it there again this year, but unfortunately, time is running out in 2016. Glad you had a nice weekend and thanks for sharing. P.S. Happy Birthday again.

I live on the southern outskirts of Reno and I love it. Like Vic said above, I'd check the Minden/Gardnerville areas, which are just south of Carson. Gardnerville is MUCH nicer than Carson, yet still close enough to Carson/Reno. I'm in law enforcement and I can tell you that Carson has a...

I was getting gas in Reno yesterday and when I looked across the lot, there was a couple in brand new ATC Bobcat getting air. Naturally, I popped over to say hi and the couple told me that they just had their Bobcat installed in Reno about two hours ago. The couple had driven all the way...

Got your TR all finished this morning--good times. We'll see if Saline Valley still works for you in late Nov./early Dec. If so, maybe we can coax a few more WTW'rs to join us.

I really enjoyed this write up and your writing style--very entertaining. Looking forward to more...
