My watch showed 23.95 miles in 10.5 hours, and I took 20 to 30 minute breaks at around 6, 12, and 18 miles. Out-and-back hikes suck, but returning via the Epsom Salt Mine would have been much too long for me. I don't recall the details of Steve Hall's report, but my recollection is that in his exploration of Wingate Wash he arranged a drop-off with Farabee's. I would eventually like to explore some parts of the Quail Mountains next Feb/Mar (possibly Oct/Nov), so I might be available to do a drop-off near the Epsom Salt Mine trailhead if anyone is interested in duplicating Steve's hike.
