Last day of our trip we left McDermit and headed for Winnemucca to pick up some rock saws and some Larsonite. It was threatening to rain, but it was keeping it cool so we could load some rocks up without killing ourselves. We ended up just getting all rocks and leaving the saws there. Some pretty good material, so we loaded up the trailer a little fuller than it should have been. Had to put some in the back of the pickup too. Mel starting in on one of the piles Half way loaded Digging some out of the bushes Getting ready to leave and Ray saying Goodbye A little overloaded, we had to drive slow all the way home, took us 9 hours to drive home. (if anyone need some Larsonite, I have a little more than I am going to use.) Thanks for looking....................Tony
