The real desert is not for the eyes of the superficial observer or the fearful soul of the cynic. It is a land which reveals its true character only to those who come with courage, tolerance, and understanding. For those, the desert holds rare gifts

Well, if it was Devil's Canyon. From what I've seen, there's no way my rig could take on the whole trail but I'd like to see how far I could make it. Yeah, they're usualy pretty good about posting up where you can't go. The only info we saw along the way was trail #150. We then turned left on #149 away from the freeway towards Dos Cabezas.

Your at the bottom looking up? I seen a photo of the gatekeeper with in the first 100ft. that looked awesome. No bypass. I 've been drooling ~punk over these photos on another site ever sense I started building my jeep. http://www.justruns.com/gallery2/v/Run+Photos/dev/They started at Mountain Springs Rd and came down. I'm game. I going to try and get a few people together and see how far we can get up from the bottom Nov 1 I'm thinking. Just a check and see if it's open. Not an offical run. Expect Damage. ~rockon

It was in Carrizo Wash on the other side of the rail road tracks just down from Split Mountain.

Went out looking for it tonight and couldn't find it. Which wash is Carrizo? The one with the bridge? How far from the tracks?

Any chance of getting GPS trail from your trip or at least GPS coordinates for some of the main sites?

You planning on getting it out of there? I hate to see trials littered up, especially with stolen burnt vehicles

I'd like to hear from BorregoWrangler if it's still there. It's all easy stuff.
You should download Google Earth (free) and you can check out the area. Even Google Map online is pretty good.
BTW, there are other vehs I will be going after. Maybe one or two at Pancake after the cleanup this wekeend instead of Bronco Peak since I won't fit on Bronco.
