It's a bit past 17h when I finally arrive at the Tough Nut Mine ruins

My meandering through the desert during the past four hours has been fun, but now that I'm here, I don't have as much time to explore as I'd like. I'll limit my visit here to 20 minutes in order to get back to camp before sunset.
