Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

* Jarbidge Wilderness Project with Friends of Nevada Wilderness

July 25 - July 28, 2019

Two days driving to and from, and two days camping and volunteering at the Jarbidge Wilderness boundary in Northeast Nevada with Friends of Nevada Wilderness Non-Profit.

We have only imagined how much fun one could have crawling around in the dirt digging post holes, straightening metal fence stakes, and stringing barbed wire in the high lonesome! We helped install a gate that allows access into the wilderness for only foot traffic and pack horses (preventing illegal motorized travel), and repaired about 500 feet of barbed wire fencing on each side of the new access gate.

We met a bunch of cool people making a difference and saving Nevada's wild places, ate a bunch of delicious food cooked camp-out style, hiked through meadows and along hillsides filled with sage and blooming wildflowers, and saw some of Nevada's most beautiful wilderness. Can't wait to sign on again for another project!
