Hi all,
Just returned from about 4 weeks of southern NV, AZ and CA travel: Gold Butte, Lake Mead, Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, Havasu and Mt Nutt Wildernesses, Mojave NP, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge and DVNP.
I've been reluctant to do full on TRs of late. As I see certain places get more and more visitation I don't want to contribute. Few of these places seem to garner attention so I don't mind sharing for those who may be interested. Outside of road camping, there seems to be much quiet wild country. My past TRs haven't seemed to change that, fortunately. Thus, I've uploaded photos on Flickr and also some topo maps because I think only a few will continue to be interested. Time may tell I am wrong on that. I can't remember seeing a single hiker within sight on any of these hikes unless it was an urban park or official maintained trail. A little case in point: the main high Mesquite Dunes looked like a elk wallow of trampling. But just by walking in to the lesser dunes from the Devils Corn stacks I was able to find an abundance of untracked wind waves to photograph. I had heard complaints of the photographic options just moments before in Stovepipe Wells. I am almost saddened by folks' lack of imagination.
