Expedition

After yesterday's failed expedition to the Nephi graticule -- Michael5000's second in three months -- we eventually ended up spending the night in Richfield, Utah. Morning brought a new set of hashpoints (as it will do), including this one not far from our intended route back to the north. So it is that Michael took a third shot at Nephi.

A gravel road off of US Highway 89 led over a line of hills and then dove down into a dry, quiet valley. A few miles of driving brought us to within a short walk of the hashpoint, and a break in the fenceline made it easy to get the rest of the way. We could see a long way in every direction, and we were the only people in the landscape.

Back to the vehicle, back to the highway, and soon we were on our way north and west for a long day's drive to 2023-12-28 42 -114.
