There was a gas-powered Maytag washer in a sm. shed, and the well water was wonderful. There was Charlie's Opal Mine 5mi north of us, and Jacksons' old ranch was on north of that. The Calico mtns. were to the north of us, and there were hot springs 6mi west of us, then a creek and on up to the high mtns. There were wild Mustangs in those mtns. We used to go into the hot springs in Gerlach, too. My husband worked cattle, and my kids & I lived in town with the in-laws, Van Ripers. I was a sub. teacher in Gerlach jr hi & H.S., and in the grade school in Empire. Quite a life...got some good pictures of that area in the short time we lived there.

Nevertheless, it inspired me to throw down on for a new rig. So, I called my connection in Flagstaff and yada yada yada I should have a new bike by summer (JR let me know).

We rode for hours at a time and saw almost no change in scenery. No perception of movement. Watching the team flow in and out of the mirage, bogging down in the stray dunes. Trying to roll to keep warm. Eating... I changed clothes in the ranch house and was on my way out to fire up the jet boil and have some freezedried dinner, but Trent told me to sit down. I didn't need much convincing... I was on my second plate when JR and Shredder came in. Little bit later VNasty, little later Smithers and we were all feeding and warm. Camping on that grass was killer. No complaints! Here's the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamindisposed/sets/72157602791476997/" style="color: blue" rel="nofollow">pics I took</a>. -M That playa was a trip!
