Potossi Pass East Exit - a photo on Flickriver

Potossi Pass East Exit

            The worst night of camping I've ever had preceded this. Triple digit temps an hour after dark, and an inability to crack a window in the truck (I slept on a sleeping platform) due to hordes of small cattle beetles flying in. With the options being to either crack the windows and have a literal infestation of the bastards, go to sleep and die of heat stroke, or finish the entire 4x4 trail in the dark solo, I opted for the latter. 

After getting to the other end past midnight, I decided to just sleep in the driver's seat rather than pull everything back out and set back up. That obviously didn't work well, and a recent knee injury meant that I couldn't keep my knee bent or straight for more than an hour at a time. Laying down, it's easy enough to sleep through; sitting in a chair...not so much. 

At about 6 AM, I decided I would just hammer caffeine and get scooting to Utah. And on the way out, I captured this: one of my all-time favorites. Maybe it was all worth it.
