| no partners | | Rose benchmark is on a little no-name mountain, south of Saddle Mountain, and southwest of Tonopah.
My first destination was a HT Mod (Height Modernization Survey Station). This disk was out in the flat desert.
Along the way to the HT Mod disk, I ran across a GLO Mark (General Land Office) disk, so I logged that also. GLO Marks are mostly used in surveying sections of land.
From there, I headed for the no name mountain and Rose BM.
The travel in the flat, open desert was easy going, but the closer I got to the Rose BM mountain, the more boulders showed up. The climb up was in a "forest of boulders", as was the mountain top. No big deal, but the boulders do slow you down.
The far views from atop this mountain were just so-so, due to the clouds and morning haze, in all directions.
On my last hike, The Eagle commented that I did't search for "shiny little disks".The Eagle =
"What! - A Fliver photoset without pictures of shiny little disks? That's an abomination."
Well, on this hike I made up for that - With "6 shiny little disks" - 
This was a fun little hike, with alot of stops, to log all those disks. |
