We think of Nevada as our second home. We were able to get away for an overnight. The story of our adventure is here -

Glad you were able to visit Ft. Churchill. We visited in December 2010
I enjoyed your photos more so, since I have also photographed the ruins.
Glad Plan A worked out, but I must say you piqued my curiosity with Plan B

Well, you did council Ski with your Sage advice on his recent lens purchase.
Maybe you can get him to cough up a few clues.

Nice night shot there, Ski. Did you notice the Andromeda galaxy just to the left of center above the cemetery arch? Your pic picks up a fair bit of the galaxy's disk. Cool.

Thanks for another wonderful account, Ski3pin. Wonderful country, great photos. Yes. Nevada in winter is quite special, even when it has way less snow than usual.
Plan Bs are a very good idea.

You get the credit here Lighthawk. We had been through the area many times but never stopped. It was your trip report that put it on the list. Thanks!

Come on guys, think of enticements and not punishments.
My Mom always said, "You can catch a lot more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. "
She used that saying so much Dad started to add, "What do we want with a bunch of flies/"

Thanks all for your kind comments!
Growing up around our house, it was "You can lead a horse to water...", followed by "and then you have to drown him.". I guess we were a vicious lot.ski3pin said:<Snip>
