Austin, NV (Hickson Petroglyph Recreaction Area)

June 20-23, 2013


We stopped for only a short time in Austin.  But what I do remember about the place is the road going out of town.  The road was straight up and then just started winding in and out of the mountains.  Why is it that the abrupt drop off has to be on my side of the vehicle!!!!



Austin, NV in the valley, scenery of the area, an old building in Austin,
camp site and scenery from the campsite.
  I thought that cloud looked like a space ship. 
The Archway into a ranch was made from antlers!
 Even though we camped at the Hickison Petroglyph Area I just didn't see a reason to take pictures of more Indian writings.  Sorry.

While I was in Austin, the lady in charge of stamping survival guides and handing out the mugs mentioned that they were running low in all of the communities.  Oh no!!!  That will never do.  To come this far and not be able to get all of the mugs....well I had a plan for that.  On Friday we took off and traveled the remaining 200 miles and get all of the mugs before they were gone.  So we beat feet to Eureka, Ely and Great Basin in one day.  So now I have all 7 mugs and all of the stamps in the survival guides.  The reason that securing all 7 mugs were so important...........more about that when we get to Ely!!!

On to Eureka!!!!

Is this crazy or what!!
