A few weeks ago, four rigs in our 4x group (including me  ) crossed Nevada on dirt roads. Well, mostly dirt roads (We had to cross pavement a few times to get to the next trail head) Four days of camping, wheelin' and history. We'll be running a similar trip next year (Not across Nevada but exploring the area between 50 and 6. Lots of ghost towns and atomic test sites). Anyway, here's some pics. I'll post a full write up later: Three rigs behind mine:  My Wrangler overlooking Bodie, CA:   Old tollhouse:  Crossing the border:

Thanks for sharing the pics. That looked like a lot of fun. Of course, I'd prefer a KLR 650 over the Jeep, but to each his own! Keep them coming.
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

It's a ghost town that's in a state of arrested decay. It's part of the California State Park system. You can get in from the main road off of 395 south of Bridgeport or go in by 4x trails on Aurora canyon Road and Bodie Trail.
