Our day was filled with a 20 mile dirt road drive through the desert. There were several warning signs concerning the possibility of encountering human travelers. We did find a watering station that was marked with a blue flag on a long pole. We found an empty, black, gallon water jug. We were told by the ranger that they use black bottles because normal 'milk jug' type bottles can somehow be seen from helicopters at night. Wow, and I thought I knew everything! We also found a serape that was well worn. Apparently the northward migration is still under way. Our drive included 2 fairly vigorous hikes. The scenery was awesome. We both took too many pictures but there was a scene that was picture worthy around every turn. We covered the 20 miles in 5 hours. That's retirement pace.
