You guys want to do the NV Mustang Tour I tried to do back in January?

Lockwood to Virginia City to Carson City.

I've done this route in summer and winter and it is a lot of fun either way. There are a few sections that are sketchy with snow and ice on the ground. Sub'd for updates and notification of dates.

Does anyone have a route for this?
For the Mustang Tour?

I do. It's Lousetown Road from I80 to Geiger Grade. Then from VC you take the Ophir Grade Road down to Carson.

Lots of other loops and options too. We could do Toll Road which parallels Geiger down into Reno. Was just there yesterday and there are mustangs about, though they haven't made their way down to poop in my yard yet.

We could also do Jumbo Grade to/from Washoe Valley. There is a jeep trail there that is fun.

Only thing I'm not sure about is camping. But I'll find out where we could camp for this.

I have videos on my channel from this area, Jumbo Grade and Lagomarsino Petroglyphs.

After the crazy winter the roads are sure to be a LOT more interesting.

It's a nice area. A stock Forester can make it there but right now would require a snow mobile
