Thanks. I think I'm generally understanding the rock now. For everyone's info, below is a link describing what collecting is allowed on BLM land in Nevada. Basically, one can collect small amounts of most anything for personal use/enjoyment. There are some restrictions that are listed in...

Can you tell I've never learned how to add a photo to a post. I'm giving this a try. Fingers crossed.

Foy: Thanks for your comments and thoughts. I think you should go visit it and let me know your thoughts. ha ha :) If you want to dive into the details, I've circled the "mountain" with a blue circle and included a link to the geology map and text. I'm 99% sure the location is correct...

OK, it wasn't all a four lane highway, but the four lanes is what I remembered most. :( I had somehow created an image in my mind that 395 would be like a Nevada lonely road. I was wrong. Last blog post. Stopping in Oregon | searching for the middle of nowhere

Ski3pin: I hadn't planned on traveling to the Owens Valley so I hadn't done any research. I was a bit dismayed with what I found - all the comforts of civilization, not what I had anticipated. Gorgeous country but I couldn't get over the fact that Hwy 395 is a four lane road. After I left I...

Hum. I've had only three views of my Petroglyph post three days ago. I'm thinking people aren't seeing my edit to my first post. Or maybe people don't like my blog. ha ha. :) Petroglyphs and Pictographs Oh My Oh My | searching for the middle of nowhere More posts will be posted. I'm...

The road is open and I made it to within three miles of the Patriarch Grove, where from a distance I saw a car parked in the road and snow, so I assumed snow was blocking the road. Very few people were up there. I had a wonderful day poking around. Tomorrow onward to Lahontan.

Thanks for the info. I’m in Big Pine now and hope to see the ancient brislecone pines tomorrow. I hope it works, seeing the pines has been on my todo list for years. And thanks for the info on Stillwater. I’ll be heading to Lahontan later.

Thanks for your pictures. Do I understand this correctly that you drove up the White Mt and saw the ancient bristlecone pines in March? I thought the road wasn't clear until May/June. I'm in Mina, NV tonight and had planned to travel north but...? Also, what area of Lake Lahontan did you...

Thanks for all your comments. Here is a bit more info. The site is in Nevada, SW of Silver Peak. As I drove up to it, I could view most of the site - no trees. I never thought that someone might be there, but maybe I should have. My fear was that the owner/manager would drive up and yell at...

I like to follow rules, but... today I was out exploring and went to an old, abandoned mine. When I got there, there was an old rusty sign that said: "No Trespassing Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out." The sign looked like it had been installed when the mine was operating. I've looked it up...

Why did you move your spare tire to the back of the van? To make room for the larger fuel tank? Did the new size tires not fit underneath? Also, how hard is it for install the spare tire on the tire frame? Tires are heavy. Do you have to hold the tire and align bolt holes? Thanks for...

Thanks for giving me a nice happy story to read.

Thanks for all the information. I hope I will wander to the area some day and use the information.

Thanks for sharing. It was enjoyable to see your photos.

I spent a couple of weeks moseying around the Olympic Peninsula. Not an adventure, but a nice slow time seeing the sights. Enjoy. Going West – The Olympic Peninsula, North Side | searching for the middle of nowhere Going West – The Olympic Peninsula, West Side | searching for the middle of...
