Last minute decision to go to a "weather friendly" location that I like. I've done a fair amount of looking around "west of Red Rock" but there are a few more desert bumps to check out there.

The rains hadn't puddled-up the dirt roads much but I did hit some surprise mud that almost grabbed me and made me park early. Walking across the flats to the bumps I saw a few plain pottery pieces but that was the only ancient cultural stuff for the day. Modern cultural stuff could be found on top of the first low bump and continuing along the ridge - this was spotter trash. I was a little surprised to see this on these semi-isolated outcrops but they do have a good 360° view.

The walk itself was enjoyable: never too steep or loose and great views. Plenty of fresh air...about 50mph up my nose all day! :lol:
