With the Woman on the Crown Princess I headed out to click on more off my bucket list.
On January 16,1942, TWA flight 3 crashed in
to 8,300 foot Double Up Peak trying to climb over Mount Potosi. All onboard were killed, including
Carole Lombard Gable and her mom. Unbelievably 75 years later debris from the wreckage still lies at the crash site.
The weather was glorious, breezy and cool. The elevation meant the wild flowers were still thick.
The changing colors and varieties kept me searching for more and more.
Because I no longer have the Jeep I couldn't get to the trailhead using the 4WD
roads. That ended up adding another 5 miles to the journey. But this hike had been on my bucket list for over 5 years, and the total experience was worth it.
After a nice picnic lunch overlooking the Strip, I called it a day.
Talk to you soon!
