In DENIAL in DENIO - Getting Away & Exploring the Northwest Corner of Nevada

Great pics and thanks for sharing. We've been talking about moving to Eastern OR or Western ID in the coming year or so. This stuff is even more motivation to do so. Exploring old things and desolation is one thing I want to do more of.

Back on the trail, we made our way up to the top of one of the many mesas in the area. According to our maps.

And, this is what really sucks about visiting non-BLM government run lands. In spite of our maps showing us that the road should continue and for quite some time, we were stopped by one of these.

Continuing our way to the west, we made a stop for some lunch at the old Catnip Reservoir.

On the far western edge of the refuge, there's a trail that'll take you up to a fire lookout tower on the top Yellow Peak. And from here, you really can see forever.

This is a shot looking back toward the east.

And this is a shot looking out toward the west and into California in the distance.

As we made our way down Bald Mountain and into Long Valley, we were treated to an awesome view of Calcutta Lake... dry lake that is.

About half way down and just past the refuge boundary, we came across a really nice old cabin that reminded us of the geologist cabin out by Stripped Butte. It was well kept and open to the public but signs on it stated no camping was allowed.

But, that doesn't mean people don't spend the night in it.

Down in the valley and working our way toward California.

Of course, when you're heading to California, what better way to do it than out on an emigrant trail. Specifically, the Applegate Trail.

And here we are at state line. Farewell Nevada and hello California!

And last but not least, Cindy and I celebrating a great time that stared in Denio and where we could continued to be in denial out on the trail. From Bruno's, one of our favorite watering holes in Northern Nevada, CHEERS!! 🍻
