Thanks, guys!

I didn't make it to as many sites as I'd hoped this year.

I'd like to spend more time in the Dixie Valley area. There are a lot of abandoned ranches there, especially since the Navy bought out most of the residents back in the '80s so they could do supersonic flights through the valley. (Would have been cool to see some of that action too.) There are also some old mines and stuff in the mountains on either side of the valley.

I did get buzzed by a fighter jet at low altitude when I was in Panamint Valley. Seemed like he was only about 100 feet off the ground, came from behind and went right over my 4Runner as I was going down the road. That was pretty cool.

Another cool thing I saw was near Ellsworth -- there was a hawk chasing a golden eagle through the trees. Wish I could have gotten a photo or video of that!
