October 5, 2015

The clouds rolled in, the skies darkened, the winds picked up and then…the first drops of Fall fell from the sky. But then, just as soon as it started it stopped, and the silver cracks appeared between the clouds, letting in bright rays of sunshine.

There are few things more beautiful than that period right after a rain, where everything is glistening and the air smells fresh. Fortunately the rains began to let up just as I was finishing my shift at work, so I raced home, changed, and then took my 97′ Jeep Cherokee (nicknamed Jon Snow) out for his first taste of dirt.

There are tons of trails and public land just outside Carson City, so I took some easy dirt roads up and around the Prison Hill area, admiring the scenery and letting Jon Snow rumble contentedly across the damp dirt. It was a beautiful evening, and definitely a treat getting out of the town for a while.

Here’s some pics from my evening out, hope you enjoy!
