We camped in the sagebrush flat land at the base of the Red Mountains. The trees have been cut down recently but the sagebrush growth is fairly thick so there aren’t many places to camp. Our camping spot was actually a little used shortcut road. We took a walk north into the foothills and found a couple of clearings in the forest that are large enough for campsites.
Since there aren’t many places to camp or turn around this area is not suitable for large RVs. Forest 38.850104, -115.259978
I haven't seen a horney toad since I was a kid back in the late 60's (that was in central Calif).
ReplyDeleteIn this life I don't get to the dry areas when the creatures are up & about.
He's a first for us. Most of time we're noisy and scare everything away or by the time I get my camera ready I'm too late. This guy was very patient and posed for lots of pictures. :-)

ReplyDeleteThank you! You guys must be itching to get back to camping!
DeleteMy Mom spent some time living near Ely (actually lived in McGill) -- where you were reminds me of that time. Not much out there, except even more isolation! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe isolation is great for us now but I don't think I'd want to be this isolated all of the time!
