desert exploring 20100403

Not surprisingly the weather was fantastic for a run out to see the petroglyphs. Shane/Amber/Max, Chris, J.D. And I traveled 60 miles today and covered some not so smooth routes out there lol. The route we took out past Bessimer mine was horrible. Its about the one time in my life I was glad to have IFS. In hind sight the power lines road would have been much better, or just give in to taking camp rock road out and back without a proper “loop” run

The WW2 bomb target was really neat! Its not even that far off the road and there is tons of bomb debris there. Its amazing that the pavement is still in pretty good shape in spots. Right after that we got to do a different kind of bombing of our own across Soggy dry lake. Dry lakes are fun!

I wish I knew the petroglph area better but we did get to see a lot of stuff there. Some day I'd like to see Howe Tank but for now I don't know where that is.

The views from the radio towers on Rodman Mtn were great. Pictures don't do it justice. There was a little haze in the air so line of sight wasn't as far as I was hoping but it was not a disappointment.

We made such good time jumping through the whoops lol that we were able to do a side mission to copper strand mine and see the little cabin that everyone visits. The mine there has some wonderful fools gold and turquoise. And no its not real gold...Chris checked lol.

Overall great day wheeling! Thanks to all for coming out!
