(visited by Matt Goff)

18-Feb-2001 -- This is one of the most accessible confluence points I have been to. The only thing is that it is in the middle of nowhere. Wagontire is listed as the nearest town and when you drive through it - the sign lists the permanent population as 2.

At any rate, the confluence point is located near Alkali Lake, a seasonal body of water which generally dries up in the summer time. Highway 395 passes within .5 kilometers or so, but there are some dirt sort-of-roads that will take you even closer. The ground was still fairly wet in places and I was a little bit nervous about getting my pickup stuck, so I only drove as close as .25km before getting out to walk. I had no difficulty getting to the appropriate location and getting the pictures I wanted before heading back to my pickup and continuing my journey.
