Saturday 31 March 2007

Saturday morning we got separated leaving Mesquite Spring. It seemed obvious to me that we were going via Scotty's Castle, but the other guys had already turned the other way. We all did the Titus Canyon trail, but not at the same time. Titus is graded for stock SUVs so the wheelin was easy and there was lots of traffic. While John and Jon looped back through Beatty to reconnect, the other guys drove up Cottonwood Canyon. We met up again near Stovepipe Wells. After a stop at the Borax Works, we camped a couple miles up Echo Canyon. Temperature in the valley was up around 90 degF in the late afternoon (still a cool spring day by DV standards).
