OK, TEN bucks of fuel. That's two gallons, since you then have to come back to the river, as that's where it was proposed to go, "somewhere along the Colorado River". Why overshoot to "Tyson's Wells", only to have to come back to the Blythe area?
Quartzsite was called Tyson's Wells in Hi Jolly's day. I've stopped more than once and read the plaque under the copper camel (which I'm surprised has survived to this day).
