I'm still catching up with life after my own trip, which I started posting about, and now trying to catch up with your TRs 
I'm glad someone else pointed out the blister beetles. Once I found a few bushes just crawling with them down low off 190 N of Furnace, in an area some call "The Crack".
Now really, if I were ever going to steal a BM marker, it would have to be "Death", no?
Old Martin Crossing sign. I've got a few pix going back many years ago. It looks like the lettering has peeled off entirely by now. I assume you read the little inscription on the metal on the post, not that it added much. BUT... the real crime there is that Latitude is what is North, not Longitude! But you are also right about West vs East. It is funny to take a pic, as you did as well, with the cabin in the background.
I gather the road up there used to be driven, and perhaps the cabin maintained, but it is a mess now, mostly taken over by packrats, and I sure would not spend much time in it.
