We decided to take the scenic route across Nevada, Hwy 50, the "Loneliest Road in America".First stop, Sand Mountain located east of Fallon, a 2-mile long mountain of white sand rising several hundred feet which has accumulated over the eons against a mountain range by prevailing south winds.
Nearby is the stone remains of a Pony Express Station.
Group shot at Sand Mountain - Frank, me, Herb and Bob A.

Checking out the remnants of the Pony Express Station which was discovered under all the sand, walls restored and stabilized

We encountered storms all across Nevada. A wall of streaming virga viewed from a hill-top rest stop
Winds and wispy virga behind Herb and Frank keep temps cool
