Boondocking near Hawthorne, Nevada
Just north of the small, friendly desert town of Hawthorne is Walker Lake. Walker Lake is a large lake surrounded by high desert, wild horses, and rugged peak and canyons. We stayed here in April and the weather was pleasant though often windy. We did have a couple cloudy windy days. The mountains across the lake captured the storm and the clouds sat upon the ridge.
