Expedition
From Eagle Mountain I headed West on UT-73 past Cedar Fort & Fairfield. Just past the Tooele County line UT-73 strikes North and so did I, my first but not last missed turn. When UT-73 turned North-West I should have gotten on what I believe is Pony Express Road. After turning around and finding Pony Express Road I made my second wrong turn, onto the wrong (North) side of Pony Express Road. After braving this path and regaining the asphalt I found and followed my second (and correct) dirt road the only interruption being an open cattle gate. The dirt road brought me to within about 500 feet of the mark and not a soul in sight.
