I made a map from ExpertGPS and uploaded it here
www.lazygranch.com/images/stonewall/stone_map.jp2
Irfanview will read a jp2 (jpeg2000) file.
Without seeing the whole map, it is a bit confusing as to where the
restrict region is located. The restricted region is at the top of the
image. That is, the waypoint STONE is in the restricted region. The
wayp[oint STOND is in the free territory, as are the waypoints seen
heading downward, terminating at STONSMIT
STONSPR is the parking area by the spring
STONG if I recall correctly is a parking area above the spring
The hike requires crossing the Nellis boundary a bit. I met with the
BLM, and they say this is legal, but you can't linger on their side of
the border.
37.50003 -117.04023 is what I labeled STONMNT. It is at the bottom of
the image, and it is not the saddle but the peak.
You have realize in those days, not everyone had a GPS, plus the SA
was still turned on., so I cut them (Glen and Tom) some slack on their
fuzzy directions. The Mount Stirling hike had even a worse description
than Stonewall.
