There's a beach in Nevada?

Middlegate, NV to The Beach?!? (Lahontan Reservoir, NV)

We had a pretty easy ride from Middlegate to the Lahontan Reservoir in Nevada. From Middlegate we biked through a couple salt flats and “Air Force Testing Areas” not to mention a GIANT dune. On that dune we could see tons of 4X4’s, that looked like ants going up and down the 200 foot sand dune. We pulled through Fallon, NV and changed over to our last map! After pummeling some Arby’s for lunch we fought through a monster headwind from Fallon to the Lahontan Reservoir. Pulling into the reservoir we had to bike about 2 miles off route to a spot for camping. It was kind of a pain to get to but so worth it because we were on a beach in Nevada?! Very bizarre feeling but it was literally like being at the beach and it was awesome. While setting up camp a little boy named Donovan from one of the RV’s on the beach, came up to us and warned us of the “wild dogs” that come out of the dunes. We weren’t sure whether to take him serious because he was probably 7 or 8, swinging a giant stick and talking about how he would beat the Coyotes off by “spanking” them. Pretty hilarious. The breeze, sand, quesadillas and cigars made it a good night.
