Dry :Lake - The Travelogue

Just got back from Dry Creek and there is so much to report that I will split it into multiple posts.

The first post is devoted to the journey. It was a long one. But fun !

I carpooled to the trial with Ron and Jennifer Ewers. I had decided to tent camp due to the trial field being twenty miles from the nearest hotel. Jennifer suggested I ride with them and I took her up on the generous offer. It was a fun ride both ways but LONG.

On the way up we stopped at a wonderful RV Resort called Boulder Creek in Lone Pine, California in the High Desert foothills of the Sierra. It was a nice campground and earned a 5 star rating from the Ron and Jennifer RV dog travel rating system. Here is a pic taken at the camp.

The second night we made it to Reno where we were guests at Marla Corey's house. Marla certainly made us feel welcome pulling out all the stops for a wonderful brisket dinner. Best of all she has a great backyard that the RV barely managed to fit in and the dogs all had a great time playing in the yard. Thanks mucho Marla.

But no trip to Reno would be complete for this crew without a trip to outfitters Mecca. Marla generously drove us over and Ron got some new rain pants at this place.

Day 3 we made it the rest of the scenic route up to Dry Lake. We arrived just in time to help Geri Byrne lay out the shedding ring and get a look at the outrun ahead. The field was a several thousand acre grass pasture with trees at one end for camping. Except for the weather it was ideal and the dogs had a fabulous time running themselves crazy.

The tent managed to stay dry and reasonably warm despite the best efforts of mother nature.

On the way home our trip was interrupted by high winds closing US 395 just north of Mono Lake. After searching around we finally found a nearby RV park that would take 10 dogs. It was on an alpine lake setting and was lovely. Once again the dogs enjoyed themselves greatly.
