Ski3pin's story ended with "Which way did they go?"
We went back down the west side of the Stillwater Range. But first, a little to add to Monte's report.
He did do some climbing around the tanks. And when he says it was a struggle to climb out, he wasn't kidding. Notice all of the moral support from The Lady and I laughing.
By the way, we got our new rig. I have to admit the finish work was not as good as we had expected.
Seriously, though, any time spent with the Ski3pins is always a good time.
Dixie Valley is on the east side of the Stillwater Range. After the Ski3pins headed home, Mrs. Ted and I headed back down the west side of the range. We camped at a location that was known as Coppereid. There were some impressive ruins and a few visitors. The view from camp.
The skill of the rock wall construction was impressive.
As I mentioned, we had visitors.
While this location is interesting, not sure we would camp here again. The Carson Sink is a bomb training location for the Fallon Naval Air Station. The jet noise was constant and loud. Even live bombs. It was fun to watch, but after a while we just wanted a little peace and quiet. Watching these two dog fight was cool, though.
On our way out the next morning we drove through the Stillwater NWR. Lots of ducks, hawks, cranes, eagles, etc. Pretty neat to see the clear 12,000 year-old shoreline markings of the Lake Lahontan on the hillsides. Where we were standing was once hundreds of feet under water.
This was one of our last trips in our FWC. Our new Tiger will be here soon. We look forward to many more trips with our good friends the Ski3pins.
