Sierra Nevada Mountain Waterways

[renodesertfox]

Here's some photos of lakes, streams, waterfalls that we have visited near Reno in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for your enjoyment. There may be from time to time a campground slipped in here too. This does relate to camping; stop, look smell the flowers and enjoy your surroundings! Thanks for looking, hope this helps you to get out of the house and get camping!

I will think of your "find" now every time I drive by Eagle Lake on my/our southern route through the Sierras. Keep an extra battery charged for your camera cause you're gonna need it as you travel these parts :rolleyes:

Yep, Eaglebait...I have 3 camera batteries for the Cannon XTi 400D that I carry along with 3 camera batts for the Nikon D80(back-up camera) I carry too, and Desert Rose has a Sony S1 that takes AA batts too. I also take along car chargers too for the two different cameras and there are two plug-in ports in the jeep. One is located next to the stereo system up front and the second is at the rear of the cargo hold of the jeep! I use a variety of SD and Compact Flash Cards. Every image I take is in RAW Format, so I can tweak every image anyway I want whenever I want and not destroy them over time like jpegs.

When I travel solo, usually for day trips, I carry and shoot a couple different film cameras also. Both Nikon & Cannon! And tripods 5 each. Reflector cards, cardboard wind breaks, extension tubes, bellows.

In the computer, I use western digital external hard drives for backup along with putting everything on DVD disks. The monitor I use is a 24" LCD and the Processor is a Dell 8 GB RAM with 750 GB Hard-Drive. There ya go!

Wow, this area up here in northern Nevada really fits us well. In Las Vegas, there was a Sportman's Warehouse that opened for a short time but closed rather quickly. And there are two small REI outlet stores in Vegas but they aren't that big and buying their gear on-line is the easier way to go there. But up here in Reno there a huge REI store, a huge Sportsman's Warehouse, and a Cabela's. Just about 8.2 miles west of our driveway is the town of Verdi, NV and there is a Cabela's Store there that puts all of the above mentioned stores to shame! It's the biggest Cabela's I have ever seen, on par with the main store in Nebraska!

On our way back down from camping we stopped in there and picked up 2 large waterproof duffel-bags for the kayak and a new folding camp table. Desert Rose held the new folding camp table in front of her for the short drive back to Reno, since there was no room in the back of the jeep. I rested the large duffel-bags on my lap and off we went. The check-out clerk said that we smelled like a campfire and I told her that was our after-shave and perfume! Ha Ha!:eek:

Great pics! I love waterfalls. They emit negative ions that make you feel much much better. They give you a natural high that no drug could ever dupicate. It has been proven that some waterfalls emit as much as 50% more negative ions than any other place on earth.


My family and I have taken a vow to hike to every waterfall in the Great Smokies. We are going to Rainbow Falls this coming friday during our next camping trip. Synchronized lightening bugs at night and waterfalls in the day. Aint campin great!

Thanks for sharing and I will post some pics of Rainbow Falls when I get back.
