The old remnant of a road ends here on the crest of the hill at a small mine shaft; I continue walking cross-country

I continue hiking past the end of the road, down into the next wash, then up the next low ridge. I could have chosen a slightly longer, but easier, route that skirts the base of the hills down on the fan, but I like these little ups and downs.

I still don't see my tent down there; it must be hidden by some bushes.
