With 60+ mph wind gusts pushing rain through our 5th wheel windows and a fear that our 5th wheel could rollover if the wind gust got any stronger. I was definitely ready for wind and rain to STOP!!! Of course, my hero, Scottie assured me that the trail was heavy enough and would not tip over, lol!
A few day prior to the spring storm hitting us, we headed over to Sportsman campground and took a look at the years of water loss in this once vibrant lake. Lake Walker just outside of Hawthorne, NV has one paid campground and two abandoned campgrounds with ruminants of old campsites to explore. The only information I could find is that the two abandoned campgrounds were being returned to dispersed camping through BLM. At the time of this posting we contacted the local BLM office to get more information on the to dispersed camping areas but our email was returned as "undeliverable" and phone numbers I found lead to a dead end.

Welcome to DestinationOpenRoad! We are Scott & Teri. We live fulltime in our Heartland Big Country 29.50 5th wheel. We have recreational property in Washington state, that we sometimes go to to get of the road for 1 to 3 months. We create and share videos of our life as full time RV travelers.

Some of our top questions we get asked:

Do you have a regular house? No, after being on the road for 5 years we sold our traditional home.

How old are you both? Scott ~ Baby Boomer 10/21 / Teri ~ GenX 05/24
How old is Punkin and where did you get her? Born Sept 4, 2014. We adopted her from the Yuma Az Animal Shelter. We are her 4 family and her forever home.

Will you ever move back into a home? Maybe, but not any time soon.

Have you ever done anything like this before? Yes, we lived on a 1947 30' Wooden Monk Boat.
