Hi, I'm NevadaWolf. I live in northern Nevada. I like exploring, in person or by records. I've been all over this state and feel I've barely scratched the surface.

I'm random. I post whatever is on my mind and share pics I think others would like. Here's some that show my different interests.

Hiked up to one of the remaining beacons from the Transcontinental Airmail Service. The orange and white skeleton framed Beacon 216 is the only remote one I've seen with the housing to the light on the top. The base of this beacon still has some of the piping for the gas supply that powered the light at the top.

Rode my white Honda motorcycle out to the rock wall ruins of Hawes Station, an Overland Stage / Pony Express / Emigrant Trail stop, The ruins sit on the slope of a sage and rock covered hill and are adjacent to a small flat lake bed that is off camera.

Drove my black Toyota 4Runner up to one of the remaining concrete arrows from the Transcontinental Airmail Service. These giant arrows (this one currently painted orange) would point pilots in the 1920-1930s to the next arrow, creating a visual route across the county. This arrow also has two large concrete pads connected to it, one to house the beacon for navigation at night, and the other to hold the building with the generator for the beacon's light.

Spent the night camping at Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park and took advantage of the pure dark night sky to take a photo of the Milky Way above my dimly lit green, white, and orange tent. Dark trees surrounding my camp site mark the edge of the photo as the brilliant stars above shine brightly in the image.

Interesting!

Amodei's DC voicemail is full.

Reno works though.

I knew this Northern Harrier would fly away quickly so I snapped a picture as soon as I could. Not the greatest picture, but a fantastic shot. 😁 🪶

Standing on the top of a dried mud mound, a Northern Harrier has turned their owl like head around to face the weirdo in the truck pointing a camera at them. The markings on their face and the shadows make their eyes appear like large black ovals as they look back over their dark brown body. Surrounding the mud mountain is dull tan marsh vegetation and bare trees with patches of green as the season turns to autumn.

A commanding position. 🪶

On the top of a lone telephone pole stands a Great Blue Heron. There is nothing around the pole except a flat field of sage brush, giving the Heron an unobstructed view of the area. In the distance, clouds and rain obscure the tall ridge of the Stillwater Mountains.

Greater Yellowlegs providing an artistic reflection. 🪶

Upside-down dark reflection of a long legged bird with a long straight bill standing beside some small bare scrub. The mostly still water is grey from the cloudy sky.

Happy Birthday to the Navy! They’re turning 250 a little before our country. Tomorrow you can stop by the museum to learn about the Navy’s presence in Fallon and to vote for your favorite of the memorabilia donated to us by TOPGUN school earlier this year.

Oh! Is this beautiful butterfly a monarch?!? 🦋

A bright orange butterfly with black patterns across the wings lined with white spots. It has settled onto a fuzzy light green desert plant.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Huh!

Poking around the desert.

A wide flat valley under a clear blue sky. In the center is the ruins of some mining operation. A weathered pit is to the left with an unseen rock wall on one side. Towering in the middle is a large concrete footing type structure with numerous bolts sticking out the top. In the distance is a patch of white material that shows signs of being dug around in. Surrounding the area is debris of concrete, metal, wood, and small bits of colored glass fragments.

If reacting to what happened Friday, yeah. Kennedy killed it. Its corpse will still be around but it is no longer a trustworthy source. I feel so bad for the remaining federal employees who are dedicated to keeping people healthy.

Typically it means the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the national public health agency.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

Since I haven't been caching in awhile, I didn't think to look when I came over here. Today found the geocaching hastag.

Every time I see it come across my feed, I feel for the person who was trying to type horrible news out fast and their massively viral post has a glaringly obvious typo right in the middle.

NevadaWolf @nevadawolf.bsky.social · 2d

I am. Though worried about the state of public health in this country. 😞

I realize I should’ve held off for today. A silly game for #Caturday
Do you have a name for it?

Laurel @laurelfynes.bsky.social · 3d

Do you ever play this game with your cat, and if so, what do you call it?

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
