Hasting's Cutoff/Pass

I went and scouted Hasting's Pass out past Grantsville today. This matches the name of the trail is also a place theory. A few observations:

1) It's probably too far, hard to check up on. 2) Cell service only on the west side. 3) Road is too rugged for most vehicles. 4) Probably haunted. 5) Baby antelope.

However, there are still a LOT of good hiding places out there amongst the rocks and crevices. Lots of good history there. Cool landscape, trees struck by lightning. Red Dead vibes. Gained more respect for the Donner-Reed Party out there and what they went through (some wagon ruts are still visible in places).
