Hahaha. The last part of the hike across the low part of the valley to where my truck was in Furnace was a freaking slog. Hot even in Feb. Especially with how my knees felt after dropping 6000ft in a few miles. Very very interesting hike through crazy and varied terrain.
Looks like the cordoroy road is visible in GE, parallel and just south of the powerline corridor. It almost acts as a sort of dam to the basin floor.
A couple loop ideas: down one of the Ubehebe trails into Saline Valley and back up another (Copper Queen and Ubehebe)
Down Nelson Range Miners Trail and up San Lucas. Or do all 4 in a giant loop with long Saline crosssings.
