Red Rock Crossing

Our gold-panning group, CVPA, often holds a group affair out at some of the more distant claims, sometimes utilizing sites owned by sister organizations. The Camp at Duesenberg was one of these. On the way there, we stopped so I could take some photographs of some striking red cliffs. I used a portion of these cliffs for the background of this painting of my imaginary traveler. I have to laugh at Western movies when they usually portray their heroes setting out on long trips with nothing but a and saddle horse. Using a horse for transportation, even a single traveler required enough gear to load up a pack mule to survive a trip of several days. Remember there were no handy rest stops, fast food places or motels within a days march of each other! A traveler needed food for himself and his animals, camping gear, cooking utensils and if you were traveling in the desert, water! So I chose to portray my traveler with all of these things.
