Hi, everybody! For the next couple weeks I get to do my walks at Patterson Pass in Nevada. We camped here last June on our way north. Now we're here on our way south. The weather's nice and cool here due to the elevation of 6,100 feet, so we're gonna hang here a little while and enjoy it.

Photo Description:

1) The environment here is called a pinyon-juniper woodland, because it's dominated by pinyon pine trees (Pinus monophylla) and Utah juniper trees (Juniperus osteosperma).

2) This juniper is on the edge of the tree line. Beyond it the trees are sparse.

3) We're surrounded by mountains here. We're in a valley called Lake Valley.

4) This is the path I'm using for my fast-paced walk. It's a gravel road, so I have to wear my hiking boots. I can also explore the nature trails through the forest, and this places is very popular with ATVers because of the ATV trails.

5) The mountain in the background is Dutch John Mountain.

6) Our campsite has no electric or water, but does have a covered picnic table, a fire ring, and a charcoal grill, all for free. We make our own electricity (solar) and bring our own water.

Nice pictures. For that view I'd do without running water or electric hook up. keep us posted and stay safe.

Incredible, Lonnie! Hopefully it isn’t too hot there. But there’s plenty of sunshine to power up those solar panels I’m sure. Enjoy the area and stay safe! 💖

Lonnie, do you ever get spooked camping in such remote locations? It seems like you're the only ones out there in the middle of nowhere.

So beautiful Lonnie, all of them, but I think my favorite is that lone juniper. Thanks for sharing. 💛

Thank you for the pictures! Since you’re RVing full-time it’s so interesting from day to day how you survive and what you’re exploring - you should have your own Facebook or YouTube travels!

The weather's pretty close to perfect here, newname. The high temperature during the day is in the low 80's while at night it gets down to the upper 30's. No rain or clouds are in the forecast for the next 10 days, so we'll be making plenty of electricity with our solar panels. 🌞
