I decide to follow a U-shaped route from here down the wash and around the hills to get to the road leading up Idora Mine Canyon

If I continue straight down the fan toward Cowhole Mountain, instead of doing a U route, I'd arrive at my campsite. However, with 2.5 hours of daylight left, I'm not ready to return to camp just yet!
