Camping in Nevada
I am so far behind at this point I don’t think I will catch up soon. Camping is a strange and wonderful experience. After a long hard day of riding we must unload all the gear. This includes all the riders bags, and bedding as well as the food bins, cooking utensils, two extra jumbo sized coolers, and the camp stove, propane tank, tents etc etc. You get the idea.
Now we must figure out what to feed 23 plus very hungry riders. Thankfully Cory struck a deal on many cans of almost expired turkey chili at the local convenience store. I think someone mentioned stocking up for Y2k! You remember that don’t you?
On this particular day our team was on support for the riders from Bolder to Hanksville UT. We managed to put together an edible supper of doctored up turkey chili and veggie chili made from one very large can of tomatoes, two packages of taco seasoning, several cans of re-fried beans, can corn, garbanzos, mmm my mouth is watering. It is a good thing everyone was extremely tired and hungry. I do not think there was much left.
With full bellies everyone settles down in their tents and sleeping bags. Many chose to sleep under the stars. The night sky is glorious with no city light to fade the stars. Sleep tight because we will be up at dawn to begin again. Peace, Marianne
