April
The last day of March the crew and I continue our journey northward through eastern Nevada.
The main street through Ely, Nevada
We make our home in the almost empty Ward Mountain Campground. From there we explore Ely and the surrounding area.
We go to the railroad depot and museum.
Bridget and Reggie have fun at nearby Cave Lake State Park!
At the town park I photograph the action at the pond.
At an elevation of 7,300 feet in April we’re playing Russian roulette with the weather .
Sooner or later, it’s gonna’ happen, and it does!
Our camp at Ward Mountain Campground — The blue mat froze!
The next leg of our journey takes us to the majestic Ruby Mountains!
I can’t begin to explain the impact of seeing these mountains. The beauty overwhelms me.
One of the most memorable, scenic drives of our vagabonding life!
South Ruby Campground — The crew and I get out to walk around and choose our site.
We find the perfect spot to relax and view the valley and mountains.
This is a very remote area of Nevada.
No internet, no phone, no groceries, no propane, no gas. Except for a climb through Harrison Pass in order to post on this blog, I limit our travel to close to camp in order to conserve gas. It’s a long way to the next gas station!
Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge
The crew and I break camp and travel around the southern end of the Ruby range.
We come upon a herd of wild horses!
Further along we stop to watch cowboys round up cattle!
Our camp for the night is South Fork State Recreation Area.
The weather is very warm while we’re here. Bridget, Reggie, and I relax under the shelter. I watch the birds on the reservoir. A camper next to us catches a few, nice trout.

Into Idaho we go!
Salmon Falls Reservoir, west of Rogerson, Idaho
We choose the best site at Lou Drexler Campground. Very few campers here, mostly overnighters.

Spring is in the air!
A robin nests under our shelter. The crew plays in the grass among dandelions.
Reggie enjoys the traveling life.
He understands that home is wherever we are. Bridget and I watch him as he happily plays with his toys.
We watch as the reservoir is stocked with trout.
Lou Drexler Campground — A lovely, peaceful place to call home.

Our last camp in April is at Three Island Crossing State Park!
The park is located along Interstate 84 at Glenns Ferry, Idaho.
This is the second time we camp here — shady, cool, lots of grass, and showers!
“Well, crew, where shall we go in May?”
