#bristleconeblm — Public Fediverse posts

My second day backpacking the South Egan Range Wilderness, I climbed up the high point in the morning. That's Adams benchmark. Then I got back to Ninemile Canyon for water, then traveled down to Sheep Pass Canyon and found camp on a small branch.

Trotting across the ridges above Ely, Nevada, and a little poking around the garnets.

#SacramentoPassRecreationArea had one trail I hadn't gotten to try. Aimed at horses rather than mountain bikes, it started off trail-like enough, but is mostly signed along decaying roads. It does wander some pretty hills with a few nice views plus I discovered the American Discovery Trail on the way.

Following the solar eclipse, I took to wandering the looping trails found at the Sacramento Pass Recreation Area. For more information and pictures, the blog post is here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/10/sacromento-pass.html

Finally found a library that works, so got my eclipse photos up. Perhaps they are such that only a mother could love. I had fun. The post is here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/10/annular-eclipse-at-black-horse.html

Touring the cemetery and mining district of Black Horse, a vanished ghost town that was most active 1906-1913. The post is here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/10/black-horse-cemetery-and-mining-district.html
