	Lizard Head, Cuyama Peak

		The discouraging part, though, was that once we were at the top and asked the inevitable question ("Where's the peak?"), Mars looked way off in the distance, not to the next ridge, but the one past it, and pointed to a rocky speck way way out on that distant ridge.
		The good news is that for most of the way from the Tinta ridge out to Lizard Head there was an old firebreak we would follow.
