I'd been home less than a week after Tragedies in the Tablelands, and I still had the itch to get out and see everything I'd planned before things went all wonky. Even as we'd been driving home from that trip, I was ordering a new camera and lenses, and I was already checking the weather forecast to see how long it would be until snow rendered the area impassable for the remainder of winter.
The good news was that the camera equipment showed up in a few days. The bad news was that there were only a few more before snow would blanket the area. I needed to get back down there before that!

It was the same location that exactly a week earlier, I'd run over my Canon 80D and favorite lens, that I'd been using to shoot for the last three years. Needless to…
Winter is Coming | Owens Valley #4 - I only woke up once in the middle of the night. I was mostly toasty under the comforters, but the top of my head was a bit chilly, so I put on my knit hat as I took a peek through the tent doors to see if it'd snowed yet.…
Rig Review: What worked and what didn't - winter 2021? - March 8, 2021. Over the course of the winter, the truck has performed well. Four (!) trips down to the desert to stay warm have put a bunch of miles on the odometer and resulted in only a few little tweaks to the set up. But any tweak is worth…
I like your website.
Spending 40 years in Northern Nevada and being in the off road business, it's good to see someone out exploring and enjoying their equipment!
Tread Lightly and enjoy what we fought to keep access to over the years!
Hey Russ, glad you found the site and enjoying the stories! Northern Nevada is a great place, we just passed through again and can’t wait to go back!
