I stopped in Fields for gas and drinks and headed out again. I crossed back over the Pueblo Mountains on Catlow Valley Road, then turned off on a 4×4 road that cut across Catlow Valley to the backside of Hart Mountain. I was looking forward to this section because it would pass through several buttes, but unfortunately, the trail was disused and the gate had a no trespassing sign. I had to go to Plan B, which meant staying on tarmac to Rock Creek Lane, which is 45 miles from Fields and 67 miles from Burns…then following this gravel county road for a couple of hours. Bummer.
