The Journey Continues
The Journey Continues – As you may know from my blog post, we travelled the SW last winter. We spent 4 months of that winter in the south from Texas to Arizona and headed north from there. But during those 4 months it was all desert. Dry dry desert and not green anywhere.
By April we had finally reached Nevada where our first sight of green grass and dandelions was a very special treat for me. Some people don’t care for dandelions, but after 4 months of seeing only dirt, the beautiful color of yellow amongst the green grass was a sight for sore eyes.
We stopped at a little town called Pioche NV, a quaint little town nestled at the base of the Highland Peak Mountains. A mining town from back in the day that has a wonderful community of folks who are very nice and a small RV park right in town that was free to park at.
We stayed here for a week and enjoyed visiting their museum and driving up into the mountain.
Highland peak sits at an elevation of 9,337 feet. To say the least it was a narrow dirt road all the way to the top, but the view was worth the journey.

If we have a bit of rain in November, December, and January, the desert bursts into color in early spring!
I hope to see the desert in full bloom someday.
Love these photos 🥰
Thank you very much 😊
I don’t mind dandelions and used to pull them out but they only grow back, so I just deal with them – I think it is pretty to see what I call a carpet of dandelions at the Park – so thick it looks like solid yellow.
I think so to, they are pretty and you can never get rid of them all.

I love dandelions too! A field of them is mesmerizing. Your adventure sounds like a lot of fun. Stay safe!
Thank you very much 😊
I can imagine that it was a real relief to see flowers and green grass again. But nevertheless you also showed us very fascinating images from the desert areas.
It was Rudi, even the smell of the green grass was refreshing after the long time in the desert. 😊
