Back in California and it feels good to know we are 1/2 day away from home. We checked out a campsite on top of Monitor Pass at 8314 feet, N38° 40.805′ W119° 37.717′. It would have been a great place to camp but just a little too early in the day. The smell of sage brush was remarkable after crushing some under the tires. A fire station with what looked like a passable road was near by. I would have like to gone up to see that but we will leave it for our next exploration with some other Sportsmobile owners.
We camped at Silver Creek Campground in the Toiyabe National Forest. It is run by a concessionaire and is an ok place. Fishing is close. Sites are pretty well separated but it gets lots of use. There are many campsites around both in campgrounds and dispersed.
How many days without a shower? Well for me, a “Wipe It” does the face and hands, put on a clean pair of socks and you are good to go. Debbie prefers the more traditional shower so she is counting the days. Her hair looks kinda cool though – it just stays in any position she puts it in. I have a pair of jeans like that.
