I just set up in the parking lot of the lehman caves visitor center. i assumed the picnic area was on that road adjacent to that lot, and it didn't look too appealing to me. yesterday we toured the caves and then drove up the Wheeler Peak scenic drive. i think if i go again for personal enjoyment, i'd like to set up at Mather Overlook.

Glad you enjoyed Great Basin, Chrismo. Did they set you up in the picnic area?

Thanks for the pictures, Patrick. You just cannot describe to people the lonelyness of this entire area. There is just miles and miles of the ground around the sun tunnels--top of picture #1 shows the scrub which is typical. We saw no birds, 1 very small lizard, and the Mayor of Lucin (one sheep, Merino?) who was fenced in at the ponds of Lucin. I should say pond, as the others were dry and while there was still flowing water to the main pond, it was very little. Did see some cattle when we got closer to Wendover, but no antelope, deer, or even a coyote. Main problem is water and feed, as the grass is just burnt to a straw color. This is the reason cattle ranchers have to move their herds to higher mountain range, a practice many decry. I guess the propeller guy living in his hanger must be a throwback to the old mountain men. Be a great place for an observatory, tho. Or rombics, for those of us who know that word. 73, lh

Yes. Talk about isolation, though. I did take some photos and will
endeavor to post them. Good article on them on. Wiki. 73, lh

Hi Larry, it wasn't me because I haven't been out with the telescope
for a couple of months. I've never been to
