Cave Lake, Nevada, Autumn Color – October 2022

Landscape at Cave Lake Nevada State Park

Thursday, October 6

Cllifford and I have been camped at Cave Lake Nevada State Park for about a week.  We are thoroughly enjoying our time here.  Today is a photo outing/exploration day, as we drive northward from the campground to Success Summit, the high point on the Success Loop Road. We are exploring where we might go camping at some future time. Although going up in the suburban was fine, it is not a place that we could take our RV. It is a good day for a drive and a picnic with a great blue sky, gorgeous autumn colors, and expansive views.

Reading Altogether in One Place has taken up too much of my time, but I did get almost everything done on my list, except finishing a blog due to poor Internet. I reflect on the book, which is an account of a wagon train on the Oregon trail where the men had all died. The women had built their lives around their men until they come to a point they had to make cooperative decisions based on the desires and abilities of each one individually, but also as to the needs of the whole.  It was interesting to read, as well as insightful.

Saturday, October 8 is another photo outing, this time close to our campground. We are again exploring the possibilities for camping in the future, but stopping for photos where the autumn colors are  especially engaging.

In just a few more days we will head further south, but in the meantime, we are grateful for the opportunity to be here at Cave Lake.
