Great Basin National Park is in a remote location on the East side of Nevada off Hwy 50. A great way to get away from it all!!! (more photos of Great Basin NP)
We camped at the elevation of 7500. Very comfortable temperatures...as the rest of the country heated up.
 |
| Lehman Creek. We were camped about 30 feet from it for 9 nights. Abby is one lucky puppy...gets to wade in all of the creeks. I'm not sure if I could have, the water was only 55 degrees. True snow run off.... to chilly for me. |
 |
| A trip to the top of Wheeler Peak in The Great Basin National Park. Elevation was over 10,000 feet. |
 |
| A wind farm....great use of renewable energy!!! Even ranchers in Nevada have a sense of humor! |
 |
| Lehman Caves. One of the better cavern formations we have seen yet. |
GHOST TOWNS
 |
| Abandoned buildings out in the desert. I mentioned to Jim that it would be weird if we found bones in the house in the upper right house....we did find bones, it was cow bones. |
 |
| The Ghost town & cemetery of Osceola, NV |
 |
| The Ghost town of Minerva, NV |
We were going to head over to Salt Lake City, UT to visit an army buddy of Jim's but the temperatures in SLC was in the triple digits, soooo.....we decided to head where the weather was cooler. So back to Western Nevada via route 6 (now THAT should be called the Loneliest road in Nevada). This sign was posted on route 6......
 |
| Now that makes you think twice and check your gas gauge before traveling down that road! |
Safe travels!!!
Barb, Jim & Abby
