Excellent! Do you have that feeling that someone is following you? I am! Headed to Surprise Canyon and Panamint next week and then your trek minus Saline Valley. Saline Valley and the Hot Springs have gotten too popular. Appears that North Pass is snowed in too.
Hope to see you out there someday!

I'm enjoying following along on this trip. Oh wait, we were on the trip! Seriously, you have a knack for writing well, and your photographs are wonderful. Thanks for all the sharing and I hope you recover from the long stints on your computer.

I  got caught up on several parts of the trip.The rock art you share with us is incredible.

It's hard to imagine groups of people sitting around creating all that art.

Once again your reports transport me to places I wouldn't get to see.

 

Keep traveling and posting.

Thanks for taking the time to share.

Thanks Monte.All 9 parts are a great story. It's hard to

choose the best one,they are all terrific.

Your "skull" rock is cool.In back of it is a formation that

looks like an Easter Island sculpture.

 

What a great 70th. Have many more.

Frank
