Took a ride over to another so-called horse camp just up the road at the Lahontan State Recreation Area, but it was little more than an open parking lot next to a vault toilet with some corrals built behind it. Because it’s right next to the Carson River, I thought it would be an alternative place to try, particularly since they’re kicking us out of the Scout Camp on Sunday for a group that’s coming in on Tuesday (go figure). Anyway, we decided this was not a viable option, because the river is dry and the nearest water would be Buckland Station again, and that’s quite a ways off from there. I started calling around again, and fortunately finally got someone from Washoe Lake State Park who knew what was going on. I had previously called there and had been told that the only overnight horse facilities they had was the group area, and that we would be charged the group rate of $50 no matter that it is just the two of us. This new person, who sounded more like she knew what she was talking about, said they do have an area for single campers at the regular camping fee of $17/night. Finally, an option that will work out well! Lake Washoe has some nice trails throughout, and we could get in several days of riding, depending on how long we decide to stay. We need to stay at least through Tuesday, because that’s when our first shipment of parts comes in to the RV dealer in Carson City, though I just learned our second item wasn’t in stock and will be another week in coming. We were considering skipping it altogether and having them ship the parts later when we settled down, but now we have a place to stay, who knows? We may decide to stay the extra week.
