We are down in Laughlin to see a few shows, then I'm leading a day trip into Gold Butte (deep/all day) and then my old high school buddy is coming out from the midwest to thaw out. He says he sees my adventures/misadventures on the social media all the time and he wants in on the action. So where do I take someone so they get the biggest bang for their buck? Stripped Butte Valley via Warm Springs. A day and half, one night there. Out over Mengel and see all of Goler. Then into Ballarat to say hi to Liz and the crew. Depending on snow levels maybe up Pleasant Canyon or South Park for another night out. Then across the way into the Argus Range for one last night before heading to Vegas for steaks, a show and maybe a drink.
I'm not saying Butte Valley is my go to or anything, but Guy Starbuck (he explores a bit) once asked why he sees my name in the logbooks there so much.
I'll wrap that up just in time to head back to Ibex for a second try at that hike.
Then it's just a blur - I'm back at Easter Jeep Safari this year, attending the East Mojave Trek at Goffs and the Overland Expo in Flagstaff. Several little trips in between.
Retired life is pretty exhausting.
