BLM Dispatch #27 - Mount Irish Petroglyph Site, Nevada
First, you have to open the wooden gate.
It’s hooked to the adjoining fence via a few pieces of tightly wound barbed wire, which takes me far too long to pry over the post it’s wrapped around.
I push it open, drive through, then shut it behind me. From here, it’s 8.7 miles along Logan Canyon Road to the Mount Irish Petroglyph Site.
The gravel road is in various degrees of September conditions - rutted, rocky, dried to a crisp. I pray to the backroad gods that the highway tires on my 2009 Toyota hang in there, and then treat each rock, divot, and pothole with tentative care.
