We had a great view of the sunlight sliding out of the valley.

Of course we had this view because we drove past our chosen primitive camp area. We didn't really expect it to be a fenced in rectangle of gravel . . . kind of like a parking lot . . . with some picnic tables. We did some map checking (while still in motion) and decided that "we should have turned there". We are now, and have been, on a two lane paved road . . .with a drop off on one side and a steep slope on the other. Not that I'm in to turning big circles on the desert, you just kind of look at things like that when you drive a 23' truck with a short trailer. Backing up is sometimes a challenge.
After several miles of me looking for any possible turn around, while we keep climbing in elevation, and knowing that we will be getting into a steeper and tighter pass, I spot a place where she can pull the rig fully off the road on the down-hill side. It's been used as a pull off many times over the years. The up-hill side is not so steep that the "Beast" can't handle it and there is good space between the desert growth. I figure I can turn this combination around with a 7 point turn . . . I do it with 5 !!! I hand the driving back to Tuff.

On the way back down we got to see these "views", . . . some times you just have to follow the flow.
