Some additional pictures of the wide open spaces out in Nevada. This is eastbound toward the Walker River.

Below is a back road going west towards the California state line. Be sure to click on the picture to maximize it so you can better see the patches of aspen up on the side of the distant mountain. We frequently could see far away gulches or mountain shoulders blazing away with the colorful display put on by these trees. It was really fine to be out in this country at this time of the year.

Below is the view south toward Walker Lake. Here the Walker River pools up for the last time into this mini inland sea. There is no outlet stream, so once the water gets here it stays, slowly sinking into the ground, or evaporating into the hot desert air. On the other side of the lake is Hawthorne, Nevada, where the army has a large ammo storage facility.
