Mammoth Hike May 2017

Such a fun trip hiking up this trail and that trail, all the way down the mountain, and that time we saw deer and were cold at night! 😉

Had our last adventure in NV before we head back out on the road. Visited the little town of Lovelock. Started at the Marzen House Museum. It was closed, but a gentleman who was on the board was there working and gave us a special private tour! Soo interesting learning about the house, area, and his life there. Then we drove out to the Lovelock cave. We learned all about the Paiute people who inhabited this area for thousands of years. When this cave was excavated, they found pits filled with many ancient artifacts. The most remarkable was a cache of tule duck decoys over 2,000 years old. The oldest ever found and perfectly preserved. The BLM provides these great guides to help you get the most of the experience. #exploringnevada #lovelockcave #marzenhousemuseum
Loving the new lighting and curtains we installed. Much more “homey” feeling. #rvinterior #mytinyhomeonwheels #alwaysaworkinprogress
Yesterday, we took the Jeep out to see the Lagomarsino Petroglyphs. There are over 2,200 and this site is one of the largest in NV. On the way there, we came across some of the wild horses that roam free in the area. We decided to come back down the old Geiger Grade road that was the original way people on horseback or wagon travelled back and forth from the Washoe Valley to Virginia City. #lagomarsinopetroglyphs #jeepwrangler #wildhorses #wildwest #exploringnevada
The fall colors were beautiful yesterday! Went back up into the Mt Rose Wilderness and Mother Nature did not disappoint. I ♥️ fall. 🍁🍂🌲 #fallcolors #mtrosewilderness #maszkcots
The national forests are open again, so we made it out for an easy, but awesome hike! Best part: not a human to be seen. 😍😍 #tahoenationalforest #truckeedonnerlandtrust #laceymeadows
We did a quick trip out to Gold Hill last night (outside of Virginia City). Stayed at a Harvest Host and enjoyed a very delicious dinner. Gold Hill Hotel is the oldest hotel in NV. It is known to be haunted, but we had no spectral visitors. We also took the Jeep out and found a few aspens changing color. Saw Washoe Lake and Mt Rose Ski resort from one of the trails. Fun little getaway. 🚐🍁🍂👻🍷
In about another week or so, these trees are going to be so pretty. Can’t wait to get back out there and see them. 🌲🍂🍁⛰ #rzradventures #humbolttoiyabenationalforest #mtrosewilderness
Such a beautiful morning for the Reno Balloon Races. Well worth the 4:30am wake up. The rain took all the smoke away and we had rich blue skies. ☀️🎈

Spent a few days “off-grid” with family at Webber Lake. This beautiful lake and campground is full of history. A hotel was built by here by 1860 and was a stage coach stop for those going over Henness Pass. A disgruntled employee of the hotel shot and killed the manger and was the last person hung on the Downieville gallows. In 1870 it was sold to the Johnson’s and became a sheep ranch. It was closed to the public until recently and is now part of the Truckee Donner Land Trust. It was a wonderful place to escape the craziness going on right now and enjoy some smokeless mountain air.
Ventured to a couple of places over the last few days that were nice easy hikes/walks since it’s been pretty smoky here (very unhealthy air quality). Inyo Craters and Horseshoe Lake Loop. Sad to see how low the lake is. 😢
Overlook the bugs on the windshield to notice how HIGH up we are. As I’ve gotten older, my fear of heights has increased. Literally shear drop off’s on each side. My palms were sweating and you’ll hear me say I’m closing my eyes. 😰 #nowarningaboutthis #jeeplife #buttermilkohv
