In Search of the Pahranagat Man | Wednesday – Sunday, January 15-19, 2025
This week I took Thursday and Friday off from work so I could spend another extended weekend searching for petroglyphs with Jared around the Pahranagat Valley, which is sandwiched between the fringes of the Mojave Desert and Great Basin Desert in southern Nevada. It’s been a bit cold in the Grand Valley lately and I was looking forward to escaping into the the milder temperatures found at this edge of the Mojave Desert for a few days. I left from work on Wednesday afternoon, drove across Utah to St. George, and grabbed a late dinner in town before crossing over the state line into Arizona to find a place to spend the night where Jared could meet up with me later. Jared arrived sometime shortly after midnight but I was sound asleep and wouldn’t catch up with him until the morning. We both got up early on Thursday to finish the drive into Nevada in the dark and then watched the sun come up as we followed the Muddy River through the Moapa Valley.
