Brian & Patty's Awesome Adventure!: Pahrump, Nevada

We spent two weeks in Pahrump, Nevada. We stayed at the Wine Ridge RV Park.

Wine Ridge RV Park

We stayed under the Passport America card so it was a very good deal! Wine Ridge has a Very Nice Restaurant called Symphonies and also a winery on the premises,

This is our campsite we stayed at for the two weeks.

Site 814

This is the pool area at the resort. We used the pool and the hot tub several times while we were here.

While we were here my brother Bruce visited us at the campground. He had a major stroke last July. It is truly a miracle how well he is doing. We had a great visit for about 3 hours.

About 30 miles from Pahrump is an extension of Death Valley. This part of Death Valley is in Nevada while the rest of Death Valley is in California. This is called Ash Meadows.

Ash Meadows

There are three major areas with springs at Ash Meadows. We walked the boardwalks at all the areas, about 3 1/2 miles total walking distance.

Boardwalks

At Salt Creek in Death Valley we showed you the very rare pup fish. There are also some pup fish here at Ash Meadows. Here are a few in this spring.

Here is the spring without us blocking the picture! The water had beautiful colors in it!

The American Indians had used the rocks as grinding holes for corn and wheat. Here is one of those holes. It is amazing that they were able to survive in this extreme heat!

Grinding Holes

Jack Longstreet was a character in Nevada history, He was a gunslinger, a gambler and probably a killer. He also was a homesteader in the Ash Meadows area. This path takes you to his cabin.

Longstreet Cabin boardwalk

There's Patty inside Ole Jack's cabin! Actually it was not someplace we wanted to stay in because there were a lot of rat droppings!

Longstreet Cabin

Inside the cabin was filthy. You can see the dark spots which are the droppings I mentioned. We got out of there quickly!

Inside Jacks Cabin

Longstreet built his cabin right next to this spring. Right in the middle you could see it bubbling up where the water was entering the pool. It almost looked like it was boiling.

The boardwalk was split by these rocks. It was pretty cool. If you notice although it was hot out it really clouded up and on the way back to Pahrump it actually rained on us.
