Green Creek, 7000 ft., Kanich Mts., Rye Co., Nev.
Mesquite, 11 ca., for gas, then on to Alamo,
Warm Springs. Here I talked on old time
about the road to Silverbow. We started
down a road about 12 mi. W. Warm Spgs.,
but gave up after 6 mi., as it led to
the upper Kanich Mts. Returning to the
main dry way, we found a road sign to Silverbow,
21 mi. We headed down this wide, straight
Flat Road. At 22 mi. we passed an
abandoned ranch, but continued. At 25
mi., we came to Paint Abel, entry to the
AEC test site. No attendant, but a phone
was there. I called the security
officer and he gave directions to go
down on the paved road; we did, finding
a road leading east to Silverbow. This
road passed by the aforementioned ranch.
Eventually it passed Taylor Well, then
after a long time, looped around
Stinking Springs. Finally, it led to
Silverbow, after crossing Green Cr.
Twice, my wagon bottoming hard on the
creek crossings. We turned around and
took the right fork of a Y at the
flat crossing of Green Creek, the
“Road” to Green Ranch, really a
deep trail. Many new mishaps here.
