Leave Saturday Morning April 9th 2016 at 9:00 am from Gerlach.
I will TANKUP... in Fernley and top off in Gerlach.
I show 78 miles from Fernely NV to Gerlach NV.... 1.5 hours as the Google flies......
The trip out to the black rock desert and sights should be around 125 miles(loop) like CivicJoe said.
If I leave here(Fernely NV) at 7 am Saturday morning then I can make a 9 am departure time from Gerlach NV( and gas up ).
I'm thinking that I have stayed in Fernely before and will stay here:

Can I still go if I don't pack out my poop?
-
Only poop packer-outers.
there is one set of out houses at double hot springs.
everything else is primitive alkaline playa.
-
Well poop I think I will have to reserve a spot in the No/Maybe zone then.
