Replacing batteries has become outrageously expensive these days. But seems worth it for all the places you visited. Summers in that part of the country might be the best combination of weather and scenery of anywhere else I've visited.
The ground in your picture of Virgin Valley looks very familiar. In my travels through Nevada and California deserts, it seemed to be the default constituent of the ground. Brings back some good memories. That's some ugly batteries! You're fortunate to not have lost an alternator as a result.

Those were house batteries. No alternator in that circuit.
