Oh my goodness we are crazy campers right now!
We loaded up our gear and headed out to the high desert north of Elko, NV
Wild Horse State Recreation Area

This state park has great clean facilities even though we are right in the middle of no where.
Literally, we were the only campers here.

Where do I even start to describe this area?
It's like a scene from an old Wild West movie...and we are in it!
Our campsite was very secluded with a picturesque view of the Lake and snow capped mountains.
We spent the night alone with only the ducks and geese on the water...

Rabbits and squirrels scurrying around after dark in the cold stillness of the desert.
We set up our camp and the winds picked up so we took advantage of the situation...
Steve and Spencer flew a Spider-Man kite for a long time...
Then Spencer played with a batman glider...
which flew pretty well, by the way, lol.

The wind was perfect and it was a good relaxing afternoon.
Then the evening coolness set in and Steve built us a fire...
I also made sage bombs for burning...
Then darkness came and we settled into our warm tent for a cold night's sleep...
and we enjoyed a wonderful evening in the high desert,
sitting around the campfire smelling the wild sage and smoke.
I'll blog more about Day 2 and the wild antelope soon...
