Quiet Before the Storm

Sand Mountain is just off US Highway 50, known as the loneliest road in America. But Sand Mountain much of the year is anything but lonely. Hundreds of Nevadians flock to the playa in motorhomes, towing dune buggies and BBQs. But this day the clouds were building, the thunder, off in the distance was moving closer and the winds can be seen pushing the storm toward us. First would be the sand storm, followed by a downpour. There wasn’t a soul to be seen.
