Other Remote Location Journal 8/15/05
Paula Poole

No one drove by yesterday, last night or this morning.
We broke camp and set out hiking to find the other two
Remote Locations. There was a road that wasn't on the
topographic maps that passed by a mine and continued a
good stretch to one of the sites. We saw lizards that
had horns protruding from their bodies and some
spotted like leopards. We also saw tiny lizards. There
were so many lizards every few feet and it seemed like
they didn't have much to fear or compete with.

We had about 9 kilometers to hike and there were
clouds forming and moving in, but we were lucky with
the weather again. We could see the Newfoundland Range
to the east. One of the sites was most similar in its
features to Remote Location. The rocks are a deep
brown with black shadows and if a mountain appears
behind a barren island, it is a deep blue. Salt brush
grows on the playa and dots the islands. Ancient Lake
Bonneville lines stripe the islands, some more
prominent than others. When we were done, we hurried
out because the wind was bringing clouds over the
blue. We didn't want to get stuck in the fine dust of
the road if it rained and turned the dust into clay.
In the gamble of the landscape, we were pleased with
the results and felt as if we'd won the bet with the
ability to reach all of the locations.
