About the Event
Join us for a two-night trail excursion into some remote stretches of the northern Nevada outback! Plan on meeting at the Nixon Gas station bright and early (TBD).
The day one itinerary includes traveling up the east side of the Winnemucca dry lake bed and traversing the Nightingales to explore an abandoned tungsten mine. From there we will head east across the desert floor to check out another mine ruin at Ragged Top mountain. We will then head north and by late afternoon/early evening we will pitch camp in the vicinity of the Porter Springs cabins. There is a vault toilet and spring water in abundance but no other amenities on site.

Day two, we will head into the Seven Troughs Range and explore…
