Ely, Nevada  - Ward Charcoal Ovens

Burrowing Owls

Turning south on about ten miles of dirt road to get to the Ward Charcoal Ovens,  I saw something I haven't seen
in years - a  Burrowing Owl.

The Ovens

A bit about the ovens.

Ward Charcoal Ovens

The ovens are worth a visit.  They are quite uniform in size, considering they were made from stone.
There is a hiking trail  just west of the ovens that wasn't there last time I passed through the area so
we'll see what we can see.
