Nowhere i actually want to be – “The men named this pass “the Devil’s turnpike,” and I see no reason to change it. The whole way was a succession of steep ascents and descents…The metallic clink of spurs, and the rattling of the mule shoes, the high black peaks, the deep dark ravines, and the unearthly looking cacti, which stuck out from the rocks like the ears of Mephistophiles, all favored the idea that we were now treading on the verge of the regions below. Occasionally a mule gave up the ghost, and was left as a propitiatory tribute to the place.” –Emory, William H. Report on the United States and Mexican boundary survey, made under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior. 34th Cong. 1st sess., 1854, S.Ex.Doc. 108.
