Return to Long Lake

Petroglyphs at Long Lake, note campsite in distance

I first visited Long Lake in June of 2016.  I had always wanted to return, and this year I did.  It was a warm, sunny October weekend and a friend and I drove my new truck and camper up to the lake bed for two nights.  Dead quiet except for evening coyotes, we saw nobody the entire time.  This is a special place that deserves protection.  The Hart Mountain Wildlife Refuge should be expanded to encompass this, and surrounding high elevation playas.
