We followed HCO along NV HWY 229 toward the Ruby Mountains, top left. Finding an old, empty ranch reservoir, we set down for the night, our 10th bivouac of this trek, above. The view of the mountains from our "front porch" was fantastic. The next morning, expedition leader Lee Bergthold prepares to break down his tent, top right.
