And then this Happened, Wildfire smoke to the east held back the sun & I started to wonder if these clouds would just fade to grey. I turned away and shot a few of the blue skies to the south, and then looked back over my shoulder to see the sky lighting up. This turned into a real light event which lasted quite some time. It was so worth getting up, and I'm really glad that I looked back! This is a special and fragile place & I'm pleased to say that other than the forest service road (track) there were almost no signs of man (and no one could ever see where I spent the night!) #california #monocounty #ourpubliclands #danholmesphoto #sunrise #dramaticsky #travel #wilderness #basinandrange #mountains (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSqKYpcHzP2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nevada is known for the amazing amount of public lands and the ability to find very remote areas for peace and quiet. BLM Nevada manages over 60% of the public land here making it very accessible to recreate in remote areas. The #SilverState is the most mountainous state in the Lower 48. Over 300 mountain ranges stretch across the high deserts and 57 peaks reach over 11,000 feet in elevation! Where will you be exploring next? Photo: William O'Neil, BLM

Fresh, quiet, still, albeit a bit breezy—I love this place and I am so looking forward to this dark night and it’s full moon. #blackrockdesert #theplaya #nevada #fullmoon #pinkmoon #basinandrange https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdVFRshdln/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u93dchoyiwe6

"A world without open country would be universal jail" -#EdwardAbbey It absolutely pains me that a place that was so unspoiled and allowed myself (along with so many others) some respite from city life, a place to build self confidence, and a sense of purpose is being offered up as sacrifice to dying industries as of yesterday. The Trump administration completely ignored the country's wishes to keep #grandstaircasenationalmonument #bearsearsnationalmonument #cascadesiskiyou #hanfordreach #sangabrielmountains #grandcanyonparashant #organmountains #ironwood #papahanumokuakea #basinandrange #andtoomanymore Protected from development. I'd like to leave you with one more quote, especially you @repryanzinke 😑 "We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation." -Theodore Roosevelt
