Drove over Tioga Pass (Cool at 9,000 ft.+), then continued east on 120, through Benton, then east on U.S. 6. Occasional heavy clouds overhead as I crossed the Sierra, clear to the east however. Got a ticket just as I entered Tonopah - Speed trap! Sun set as I departed Tonopah toward Warm Springs. Turned east on Hwy 25 at Warm Springs and arrived at the contact zone (above locality) = Penoyer Valley at 2030.

Had a slight scare when Barron wandered-off and soon thereafter I heard Coyote howls quite near - Barron was alright. There is much evidence of recent rains here.
