Winnemucca, NV - 421 km

Woke to a very rainy morning. Decided to wait it out and that was worth it as the skies cleared and large areas of blue sky appeared. We did end up putting on the rain gear for a short while but it worked to chase the rain away. Experienced some gusty crosswinds at times today as well - not surprising in this sagebrush desert.
Rain gear finally OFF!
There certainly has been ample evidence of the wet weather this area has been having. The precipitation appears to have been of the solid form at higher elevations!
Fresh snow.
Stopped and looked at all the different flowers blooming in this area after the rain they have had. Amazing opportunistic plants that flower quickly after the rains then shrivel up to await the next watering.
