Fallon, NV (Grimes Point Petroglyphs, & Pyramid Lake)

June 16-20, 2013

We camped near the Grimes Point Petroglaphs trail.  Again, if modern day teenagers write on things it is called graffiti, if it's over 400 years old it is called Petroglaphs.  The caves and the Petroglaphs were interesting.

The black dot on the cave floor was Abby, she was tired.

Camp site (see if you can spot the camper), the hotel in Fallon,
sand mountain recreation area, and a chopper that went over really low.
While we were camped in the Fallon area we were right across from the NAS training facility (Navy's
premiere aviation training facility).  They started flying at 8AM and quit at 10PM.  In between time
we were in seventh heaven with the airshow that they were putting on.

Took a ride up to Fernely, their claim to fame is Pyramid Lake

The lake was named for the pyramid shaped rock in the lake.
Catchy, uh?

This is Middlegate Station, an old pony express station.
Now the home of the Monster burger.
They have great regular burgers too. 

Got my mugs from Fallon and Fernely and the stamps in the Hwy 50 survival guide.  Only 4 more to go!!!!

Having a great time...wish you were here!!!

Barb, Jim & Abby
