For the long 4th of July weekend...we hauled down to L.A. in the heat.

NV Camping 2013: Day 3

On day 3, we started heading out to explore for another campsite.  This is what we found.

NV Camping 2013: Day 2

The next day we decided to head out and explore and find a new spot to camp. Just when we were about to give up hope, we came over a little hill to discover this abandoned homestead.

NV Camping 2013: Day 1 (Bonus - Skull Jackpot aka Ranchers need to find a better way to deal with wildlife aka people who shoot dogs are douchebags aka I will take the skulls nonetheless)

NV Camping 2013: Day 1

Met up with Tom for 3 days of fun in the wide open expanses of the Nevada desert.  There is nothing like camping in the middle of nowhere.  It is simply put, the way it should be. Campgrounds are nothing more than a bunch of unrelated people sleeping outside together. To me, camping means getting away from all of that and then going a little further away just to make sure.

Tom drove up from Vegas, and I drove down and met him off of hwy 361 at a predetermined location, which turned out to yield one of the largest skull hauls ever (more on that in the bonus post next). Here I am with my 90 Trooper and the skull pile.

A day trip to Genoa/Minden/Gardnerville...

So last Sunday we took a day and drove down to Genoa to check it out.  Here are a few photos.
