We started out hiking on the wrong side of the fence, by a marsh south of Carson Lake, quite a contrast to the ubiquitous desert scenery.

The day ended with crossing a salt flat to get to US 50, along with a few miles on the “loneliest highway.” This was the last of three days in the nineties, with one day over one hundred. We thought this was typical, but then I referred to the weather data I compiled before the trip. For this period in June we exceeded the average high by around fifteen degrees.
