RV Park in Mina Nevada, I think it was called Sunrise.  There is a store and gas station just down the road.

Sand Mountain on Highway 50, east of Fallon.  This solitary dune is over one mile long and has “barking” sand that makes noise when it falls on itself.

Salty mud in my ear from the mud flats.  It took me all day to wash this sticky mud off the 4 ATVS.
