Solo Winter Camp/Part 1, Mica Peak, Gold Butte National Monument, Nevada

Part 1 of a two day peak bagging and camping trip in the Gold Butte region of the Nevada desert.
First day was able to bag Mica Peak at 1500ft of elevation gain and around 3 miles truck to truck. Got closer to the peak by driving 4WD jeep tracks and also discovered an enormous bee hive in the area. Uncertain on whether the honey bees where of the africanized variety but they were fairly aggressive and even came all the way up to bother me on the peaks summit.
Continuing on after Mica Peak, I went further south trying to figure out which 4WD jeep track would get me closer to Bonelli Peak. After passing the old Gold Butte town site, the roads get bad and you definitely need high clearance 4WD.
Made camp in a small wash, surprising how fast the temps drop after sunset. Lows were in high 20s (F) for the evening. Good day for sure. However, the next day (Part 2) would certainly be a challenge getting Bonelli Peak....stay tuned..
