Remoteness of Silverbow, NV

Gary mentioned our trip to exciting Silverbow, NV in the discussion about TTR viewing points. It is amazing that there is a sign pointing in the direction of Silverbow (literally turn right at the bush by the big cow flop - there's a path there!). I don't want to discourage anyone from not going to Silverbow because it was a great experience but if I were alone I don't know if I'd have the confidence to go up there by myself (I tend to freak if I'm more than 20 miles from a McDonalds or K-Mart). That was easily the most remote and Godforsaken place I've ever been in my life. Gary, Catman, and I were there and even though you can see the TTR base and there are people down there somewhere I have no idea how far we were from the nearest "civilian". I don't think there's anyway Catman and I would have gone to Silverbow (Brainwash Butte) without having Gary as a guide. Just some thoughts.
