Walker River State Recreation Area for a few days!

 Sunday night we were talking and Ken said let's go camping for a few days. Ok 

Oh this was so yummy! Zucchini crust pizza...

where? Let's take the toy hauler and Can Am and go to Berlin Ichtysaur State Park. Only about 115 miles away. Monday, Tuesday and come back Wed as we're expecting some deliveries. Ok..

Monday morning we're getting things ready and Ken brought up going to Walker River State Recreation Area.  That's only about 40 minutes from our house. Even better! As it was we didn't' get to the park until 1400.  We were both glad we made this decision.  

Found a site, no problem. They have two different campgrounds. One has electric and water which would cost us $10.00 a night with Ken's senior state pass.  The sites are huge! The other campground is free to us as it has no hookups. Ok Free it is. There are only 2 other campers here right now. I'm thinking it's different on the weekends. 

We settled in, enjoyed a late lunch and then got ready for a ride. Tuesday will be the long ride. 

We took that road to the top..looks worse than it is! 



Going up!
Smoky view from the top!





After the ride we enjoyed our happy hour together and later Ken barbecued some awesome burgers and we enjoyed a nice fire.  

Our free campsite


I had a nice chat with Bryan and Ken enjoyed talking to Russell. 💙💙

Waking up to a cold (40degrees) this Wednesday morning. Heading for 85 so not too bad. Time for showers and breakfast so we can get this day on the road :) 

Enjoy your day! We sure are grateful to be living this awesome life! 😍

  1. You are living an awesome life! It is nice to see you two enjoying it to the fullest.
    I envy the camping but the rocky roads (even on a CanAm!) don't appeal to me. Not a rough and ready gal, I guess. Ha ha
    We will be sad to see all the southwest adventures of our friends but still want to see it all! :) Have fun!

    1. Most of the State Parks in Nevada are well thought out and fit for bigger rigs. There's a couple we've driven through but know we wouldn't stay..LOL. To overgrown. Thank you Nancy!

    1. Yes it was a great 2 days and only 36 minutes home, but we were able to get the riding in we wanted!
