2024 peakbagging and other activities

[Brice]

Very curious what the orange rock is.  It screams poisonous. 

Was this the peak with the river crossing?  Not too deep?  I have ventured across the Amargosa yet.

Not deep but pretty gross.  A couple inches in most places, deeper in some narrow channels.  I was smart enough to bring sandals for the crossing so I didn't muck up my shoes too badly.  Lots of stinky algae, bacteria and slippery mud threatening to dump me onto the ground with every step. I used some local vegetation to wipe clean my feet after the crossing before putting my socks back on.
