Bubble in the desert

A blog I started whilst on a GE "Bubble" assignment in Nevada. I'm back in Cambridge (UK) now but still miss the desert and my friends out there.

Kathryn's Hols - Day 2 - lazy start then up to Spooner Lake and Wild Cat Cabin

Completely knackered from yesterday's action-packed adventure it was all we could do today to shop for our stay at Wild Cat Cabin. Finally got our supplies sorted out, got the bikes in the car and headed up towards the cabin.

As we arrived at the carpark there wasn't much daylight left. We got organised with the bike shop guys who run the cabin (based at the Spooner lake car park) and headed off on our bikes for the 2 mile uphill slog to the cabin. It wasnt too bad a journey really but for the gathering darkness. We were very glad to eventually spot the cabin and make our way inside. A quick fiddle with the gas lamps and we were in business.

Although dark we could already tell this was an idyllic cabin.

We lit a fire and quickly got used to our new secluded home and went to sleep, with our final thoughts returning to the casual warnings of the bike shop guys, "if you need to go to the toilet in the night, check the deck, the bears like to sleep on it..."
