Taking our daily “get out of the truck” walk. Without our mission to get out of the truck everyday (especially when we don’t want to) our physical and mental health would suffer doing this job. 🤎🥾🥾🪨🐾🍾🪨🪨🍾🍾🪨🪨🍾🐾🪨🥾🥾🤎 Today Dakota and I took a walk in the desert outside a small town in Nevada. There is so much to find in the rubble along the mountains. A tale of a different time. … Not much is left, but the few intact pieces of history I come across I set aside so they won’t be trampled, or stash in my pockets to take home to my own collection. … Old bottles have become a collectible item lately on my trips, and oh of course I have to grab a rock as well along the way. There is just something I can’t explain when the rock just draws me in and I fall in love. … These few items are just some of many in my mounting collection at home I’ve never shared. I’m considering sharing it in future videos as well as sharing a more in depth look at my side quests. … I hope this post inspires you to just take a walk today. 🤎🥾🥾🪨🐾🍾🪨🪨🍾🍾🪨🪨🍾🐾🪨🥾🥾🤎 #nevadahiking #nevadaghosttowns #truckinglife #travelnevada #bottlehunting

Wrapping up #NationalParkWeek with an incredible lesser-known park that we visited for the first time last year. 📍Great Basin National Park (Nevada) Great Basin isn't a national park that you hear a whole lot about, but we were so impressed! ⛺We visited in August 2023 and camped in Wheeler Peak Campground within the park. The campground is at the top of Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, sitting at 9,500 feet above sea level. This has been one of our all-time favorite camping experiences. The sites were well-spaced, and the views were incredible! We also liked that we could walk from our campsite to the trailhead for several of the Wheeler Peak area trails. 🥾During our visit, we went on two hikes in the Wheeler Peak area. We hiked the Alpine Lakes Loop trail the afternoon/evening we arrived and enjoyed some sunset views on the trail. The next morning, we hiked the Glacier Trail, which also took us past Bristlecone Grove. 🔦Great Basin NP is home to Lehman Caves. The only way to tour the caves is by purchasing a ticket for a ranger-led tour. Two tours are offered. We chose the longer one, which was 90 minutes long. While it's not the biggest or the longest cave we've been in, I felt like it had some of the most impressive cave formations!

All week there has been these big beautiful clouds over Lake Tahoe all day. But as the sun starts to go down they seem to race over the mountains and into the Carson Valley on the Nevada side. It makes for some boring sunsets in Lake Tahoe but spectacular sunsets and afternoon storms along the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. This was shot from Kingsbury Grade looking over at Jobs peak. . . . . . #laketahoe #carsonvalley #carsoncity #gardnerville #sunset #mountains #sierranevada #nevada #travelnevada #onlyinnv #visitnevada #landscapephotography #photography #skybrilliance #cloudscape #yourshotphotographer #natgeotravel #viewpoint #beautifuldestinations #outdoors #landscape #goldenhour #light #color #travelinspiration #earth_shotz #summervibes #renotahoe #outside_project #nikon

A beautiful church in the heart of a ghost town, surrounded by the vast expanse of the Nevada desert, serves as a beacon of hope and a testament to the human spirit. This scene embodies the power of perseverance and the possibility of renewal, encouraging me to look beyond the present moment and envision a brighter future. ********** #nelsonghosttown #nevada #beautyinthedesert #church #starrynight #astrophotography #milkywaychaser #longexposure #startrek #visitnevada #nightscaper #sony #sonyalpha ##sonya6600 #gitzotripod #funwithfriends
