John and I went camping over Independence Day weekend and on Saturday took a drive out to the ghost town of Pine Grove. On the way we saw some water trickling down the dirt road as we were driving uphill and hopped out to take a look and found a spring.
This first photo is of the gorgeous sunset when we arrived at the Walker River Resort Campground Thursday night.
On the way to Pine Grove. The dirt road goes for miles and miles and you really feel like you are away from civilization. I was sure to pack us enough water but didn't pack any snacks because the plan was to stop in Yerington for fuel and lunch. We ended up getting a flat tire on the way back and barely made it to the highway where we could get help if we needed to. Which we did.This is the old hotel or boarding house. If you would like to read more about the history of Pine Grove, go to this link. You can see that the first floor is covered in about two feet of dirt from the mudslide that they mention in that link.
