September 17-19, 2010 near Austin, NEVADA
The 2nd 'Glyphs Waha'Yoo returns to the Hickison Petroglyphs Recreational Area Campgrounds, 25 miles east of Austin, NV. Step back in time and surround yourself with the history and pre-history of the Monitor Valley area of Nevada's Great Basin, stroll through the petroglyphs (many dating as far back as 10,000 years!), stand on parts of the Pony Express Route and Overland Stage Route, drive to and dip in the Hot Springs, or just kick back and enjoy the peace & quiet of the high desert solitude. There are 16 established campsites in the campgrounds, each capable of holding at least two teardrops, each with fire-ring and table and some with a shelter/wind-break ... two vault-type toilets ... no water, so figure on bringing in your own in real pioneer dry-camping fashion. Bringing your own firewood will be a necessity, too. There are no fees to use this CG, and it's first-come first-claimed, so if we get a good turnout, please be ready to double up on sites. Depending on which direction you come from, basic supplies are in Austin (west) and Eureka (east) or better stocks in Falon (west) and Ely (east). This is a BLM campground, so no reservations ... also, no registration ... just show up if you can! For more info, contact Grant at [email protected]
Let's hear who all is going to try to make it, this year ...
...!
CHEERS!

Have tickets to the American River Music Festival over in Coloma, Ca, on (wait for it) the American River! We will be camping there, but alas, not in the tear but sharing a cabin with some friends. Hope you all have a great, warm (no snow--we were there in April!) time!
