The Rail-line eventually crossed pavement. I cut off, wanting to stay on this side, and picked up the service road for the aqueduct. It's a given that this will run back to the Colorado . . . same place I'm going.

I spent a bit of time w/ some "old school" paper maps and verify that this will put me north of the town, at the feet of the Whipple mountains. All I had to do was find a track south out of there that was not a wash. These are common quad & jeep routes . . . I think I might be too heavy to follow some of those paths.
