Perhaps they were hiding out in the shade, but you should see mustangs. I once drove from Gerlach to Soldier Meadows (stayed and rode horses and helped herd cattle) and Summit Lake in a Ford Escape, which handled those roads just fine. It’s neat country. You’re making me want to go back.
Pretty warm, moving into a heatwave by the time we left (triple digits). We ended up staying at the viewpoint for a good 3 hours to escape the heat down at the playa.
Thank you for the information. I've been on the playa twice and really enjoyed the wide open experience.
Remember seeing those ruts on that trail the trailer guy got stuck at. Was there about 3 weeks after y’all.
Damn that Ram is an Alpha Bad Ass. That thing ready to go anywhere with that solid axle 4*4
Now that's living the dream! Great filming and narration.
Great cinematic moments! Loved the scene where Thomas ran off into the distance.
Ahhh Black Rock Playa. Old timers say it’s so flat on a clear day you can see the back of your head!😁
Thanks Ben, Great video. Can’t wait to check this place out. Slowly but surely I’m building up the equipment/necessities for an adventure like this.
Awesome vid!
This place is pretty cool without the burning man

We saw some once we hit the sections with more sagebrush. Stay tuned for PT 2 ;)
Awesome, can't wait to try that. I wonder how many people camp up there during Burning Man.
The playa is closed to the public when BM goes off. 80k burners.... No thanks for me!
It was a wagon. How was the temps in August? Love your videos, joined OTG!

Spent a bunch of time in that area.
Still have some more exploring to do.
What camper tent is that and did the jarring loosen anything or the tent hit the top of your cab?
👍👍
I Can not find the Island Microplya on my Gaia GPS ..... Where is it?
