I start playing with the shrine detector on. The plan was to put my horse on some road and let it randomly guide through the map until the radar started beeping

That happened very fast, near Dueling Peaks. The radar pointed me to where I once faced onf of my biggest enemies: the Bear. They are still annoying to fight, but my stats are just much better now so the bear meets its end. Suck it, Pooh.

Finally, I spot shrine 67, behind a rather conspicous wall of rocks. In my defense, it was hard to look for goodies while being mauled by bears.

It was also a large area with no shrine shortcuts, so I supposed I should have looked there already.

I spot a stone tower in top of a hill, so I use revali's gale to climb it faster. The game tells me I just climbed back to the Great Plateau. This feels... empowering.

The tower has a chest with 10 arrows.

I get tired of horse riding after a while and decide to check one of the two remaining towers, in the southwest corner. I trek through the arid area, killing bokos and trying to endure the annoying buzz the radar makes. I find shrine 68 before getting to the tower, a series of minigames with conveyor belts and metal balls.

the tower is rather easy to find, but it's surrounded by quicksand, and some magic makes it so strong wind blows away from the tower no matter what direction you try to approach it on. Flying is impossible, you gotta solve the puzzle. Which I do, by finally employing a trick I'd heard about but never tried before. Using statis on a metal block, hitting to accumulate inertia then climbing it to propel myself forward.

From the top, you get an impressive view of the entire gerudo desert. The fortress is in the middle, as well as an oasis. And then I spot it: Mecha Camel, the last ancient beast, walking around the desert like it owns the place. Well, it probably does.

I spot the next shrine from the tower, which hides the gerudo canyon stable beside it. I complete some puzzles involving batteries, taking the shrine count to 69.

Only one tower left, because I somehow skipped the mountainous area that was blocking the path to the desert, by going through the canyon in the south instead.
