Canti, Blair. 1973 Journal 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.
