Sand Mine rd., Overton NV

Oct. 10, 2021

Poverty Flats is a boondocking site on top of a large open flat mesa overlooking the Moapa Valley and the small town of Overton NV.  We spent a few days "on the mesa" in November 2018.




This time we chose Sand Mine Rd., an area about a quarter mile south.


Wide view of our site, we're on the right.

The sites are more defined than the mesa with more space between.


 

There was a major wind event (20-30 mph with 60 mph gusts)  the next day.  We found a level spot pointing into the coming wind and didn't even un-hook the truck.



After a long day of "rock & roll", the sunset looked like an image from a Mars rover, with so much red dust in the air.



Over night rain cleaned the air and left a little snow on the mountains to the east.


Now realigned for protection from the sun, we setteled in for a long stay.
