So are we thinking gas and food in Winnemucca on Friday or just gas and eat what you brungon the way; somewhere...
Jack
Full tank from Reno/Sparks (or enough to get your rig 165 miles to Winnemucca). Generally it takes about 2.5 hours to get to W. That puts us there at 10:45AM - 11:00AM doing the speedlimit or about 70mph. We could do an early lunch in W.
Or if left to me it would be my preference to just gas up in W then immediately head North on Hwy 95 to Denio (about 100 -miles) and stop at the rest stop about 1/2 way on the Denio cutoff (Hwy 140) and eat a sack lunch; that would make our lunch stop around 12:30PM or so.
Comments?
Works for me. Just trying to get an idea on how much food (besides too much as usual) to bring.

We'll probably bring a lunch either way so it makes no difference to us.
Too much as usual...isn't that the truth. I did however pick up a bottle of Pyrate and some Vanilla wafers
Man, those paired well together. Thanks Dan, like I needed another vice.

I'm armed as well
. Gotta have a little vice don't we? Pretty tame compared to some of my old habits...er vices 
.Got a new portable espresso maker to break in on this run. Hmmm...maybe a roadside espresso shot at the rest area lunch spot on Hwy 140.
I CAN"T FREAKING WAIT!

Looks like a weather system coming in on Friday and Saturday. Here's the forecast for the weekend at Denio. Remember we will be camping about 2,200' higher than Denio (Denio = 4,200', Knott Creek Res = 6,400'). Judge yourself accordingly...but I'm packing some cool/cold weather clothing and sleeping gear.
Be sure to take a lot of pics so you guys can post them on here 
During my sage hen hunt a couple of weekends ago up on the Sheldon Antelope refuge it rained and the low was 26*. While Reno was said to be in the 70*'s that weekend. Just a heads up.
As of about fifteen minutes ago my Long Ranger aux. fuel tank is operational. I had to use a toggle instead of George's switch, but I will remedy that after the trip. I'm stoked about this mod. I'm going to bed, 0500 comes early.

Congrats on your aux tank install...hmmm where'd I stow that syphon hose?
I still have a few parts I am waiting to receive...looks like a November project.

Makes me want a pop-up trailer with a heater!
I just hope I can get the fan quiet enough not to wake the whole camp.
It would suck for you guys to hear my heater coming on while you shiver in tents.

Quiet is just a severed battery cable away

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THIS RUN (due to the current and forecasted weather conditions in Northern Nevada)!!!
WE WILL BE HEADING SOUTH TO THE WHITE, MONITOR MOUNTAIN RANGE AREAS OR DEATH VALLEY DEPENDING UPON WEATHER CONDITIONS IN ROUTE TOMORROW (SAME GENERAL ROUTE FOR BOTH LOCATIONS).
MEET TIME: SAME AS BEFORE/ORIGINALLY.
MEET PLACE: STARBUCKS PARKING LOT ON DAMONTE RANCH ROAD (SOUTH END OF THE WALMART COMPLEX).

Tents? What kind of self respecting Nevadan uses a tent? Sure the womenfolk need someplace to change and shade for the dogs, but not for sleeping.
Reminds me of a story from when I was 12-13, camping at Knott Creek this time of year. Went to sleep under clear starry night to wake up in the wee hours under a couple inches of snow. Grabbed the sleeping bag and went to climb in the truck, but dad had beat me to it AND LOCKED THE DOORS. I ended up having to bang down the hood on the '68 a few times to wake him (and everyone else in camp in the process). Then it snowed all weekend and I never saw any chukar.
Ah good times.
