South of Hawthorne

Exploring highway 359 south of Hawthorne,





I found my way from 5,000 ft (1500m) to 6,000 (1800m). That much change has me struggling, breathing hard, to get stuff from atop the car, the frying pan.




Cory Canyon Rd



Perusal of the map showed a road extending far beyond the habitations. I picked a spot where a spur led to a large turnaround. Coming up the canyon at sunset, I willingly settled where several cottonwoods presided over a fire-ring.



It being the weekend I expected heavy traffic but it was surprisingly sparse. An amble to the top of a nearby knoll got me cell signal. The horned toad, companionable creatures that they are, sat at the base of the post until I moved off.
