We decided to check an alternate trail on the way down. The trail was easy to follow, went by caves and great scenery, but is little-used; we cut down from that WNW-trending trail to the road. The Clark County records show this is still BSA land, and I don't recommend this way because of the potential trespassing (even though there are no signs, and the BSA have erected signs and built trails on USFS and BLM land). The only totally non-trespass way to reach North Potosi, is on the ridge to the ENE of the summit; and that route requires a legal (but gymnastic) drop through a near-highway fence (see my other TRs).
