In the background of this picture you can see a Geyser that is continuously erupting. There are these huge Tufa formations all over, some are around 40-50 feet high and they look like coral. They are the remnants of extinct geysers, not something you see back east that often. The thing that struck me the most was the noise, there was none. We only saw one other human being the whole time we where their. Just silence and desert, Nevada is a pretty cool place. If I have to come back here to Sacramento I am definitely going to go camping at Pyramid Lake.
After an awesome day at the Lake we went to Reno and played craps all night. We determined that Reno is the exact opposite of Pyramid Lake, but hey I guess you have to stay well rounded. I think next time Ill skip the casino and spend the night at the Lake.

"Transparent and intangible as sunlight, yet always and everywhere present, the desert lures a man on and on, from the red-walled canyons to the smoke-blue ranges beyond (and desert lake), in a futile but fascinating quest for the great, unimaginable treasure which the desert seems to promise. Once caught by this golden lure you become a prospector for life"
--Edward Abbey
