March 13, 2022.....10.1 miles hiked.....1,400' elevation gain..... We've now been camped here for nearly one entire week (time really does fly).....and it seems as though we've quiet quickly fallen into daily routines. The mornings are typically spent wandering around those gently sloping...

When I had originally planned our "solo overland expedition" ? from Overton, Nevada to Mesquite, Nevada (which would be 90% off road and include one river crossing.....on a two lane bridge of course) I thought that we could follow a dirt / sandy road that ran along the banks of the Virgin River...

vintageracer.....regretfully I think that there is some truth to that statement.... We took the "long brown path" across the mesa to it's eastern edge where we set up our next nights' camp.....here we were just waiting for an upcoming storm to pass thru.....before we continued on the "long...
