As you might guess, traveling across the vast vacant areas of Nevada is nothing new to us. We've been across countless times, mostly on either end of one of our RV sojourns. But I think today will turn out to be the most memorable trek ever!
Even though this morning in the Wendover KOA it was sunny but cool, the weather condtions quickly changed to stormy, rainy, and ultra windy as we headed west. Still, miraculously, we soon began to see patches of sunlight peeking through gaps in the dark clouds and by mid morning the angry look to the sky had softened.
The rainy and gloomy day actually turned out to be nothing short of the best photo-shooting conditions we've seen on this trip. The clouds continued to be impressively stationary as well as beautifully cumulus in nature. And though many clouds remained dark and threatening, more and more of them took on a lightened hue. The whole effect on the landscape was magical as the darks and lights of the sky translated to darks and lights on the ground.
In short, for the entire day we had the most spectacular show of Nevada's sage-covered desert lands with miles of velvety purple ranges and peaks in the background. I could hardly persuade myself to quit shooting and return to the rig so we could make Winnemucca by dark.
