It's been a couple years since I read through this saga, but as I recall the main theory of why they went that route is that they likely had a map that showed the border of the military base was that direction. Someone not familiar with the American west and US military facilities in general might think that would mean a densely populated base with guards on patrol and people to help, rather than the sad reality of a huge empty wilderness reserved for the military to occasionally do exercises within.
- INTPenis 6y agoOh, you explained that slightly better than the author imo. But now the pieces I remember from the article fall into place. We have similar places here in Sweden that are technically owned by the military but they have a schedule when they're in use and on off times can often be used for camping by tourists, or grazing by local farmers. I wouldn't compare anything I've seen in Sweden or Europe to the level of wilderness in DVNP. The most wild thing I've seen here was Samaria gorge on Crete and it was full of tourists, a well defined path and water sources. (I'm from the south of Sweden, I realize the north has a lot of vast wilderness;)
