A Difficult Place

Oregon is a hard place to visit. Living there you’d have time to go to all the places to raft or hike or walk the beach, but failing that, any visit of only a week or two has to pass up so many opportunities for fun, there’s always a tinge of regret left with the … Continue reading A Difficult Place →

Next gas 167 miles

You gotta hand it to Tonopah, NV, they do try.

Great Basin National Park

Another name for Great Basin might as well be Nevada. In almost the entire state no rivers flow out of the basin, they just dry up in the desert. Great Basin national park is made up of 13,000’ Wheeler Peak and its environs, where water is abundant this time of year. Access to the peak … Continue reading Great Basin National Park →
