Hawthorne, NV (Walker Lake)

June 7-8, 2013

Hawthorne, NV is a military base area.  We camped at Walker Lake.  Since it is a developed BLM property the camping fee was $3.00 per night.  The lake was beautiful and the surrounding area was really neat.  Again this area was recommended to us by our desert friend, Shelley. Shelley told us that the area was dirty and there were pack-rats every where.  The campground didn't have rats and it was clean for the most part.  What got to us was the insane number of large (quarter sized) spiders!!!  They were everywhere.  It took us a week and a half to finally get rid of them.  Not one of the places we would recommend to go camping.


We had planned to stay three days.  On the second day we were inundated with spiders.  I don't like spiders at all.

Scenery was great though!!!

Onward and upward.....to the next place.
