Lee Bergthold and Tina Bowers start up the Overland
Pass road, above. We trekked 5 days down the Ruby Valley - same
as the Donner Party, according to James Frazier Reed. He estimated
they had come 384 miles from Ft. Bridger, WY. Their party camped
about 10 miles below Cave Creek before turning west on the pass.
This and Harrison Pass were not named then. Bald Mt. (9503ft) is
south of the HCO, right.
