Desert / Ghost Town Trek #53

This is kind of the "running out of new places to go" trip. At the HWY 58 and alt 58 split (north of Mojave, CA) I got on the tower / pipeline roads that hug the mountains north towards Indian Wells. Decent camp spots were slim to none until Pine Tree Canyon, which was okay but had lots of debris and shotgun shell casings everywhere (always a risk some rowdy folks will show up).

Near Boron, CA, I decided to see how close I could get to all those crazy control towers on the range near Edwards Air Force Base.

Turns out you could get pretty darn close. Rocketsite Road runs up a big fan and parallels the ridgetops.

At the top you are up level with the structures before wrapping around the back side. From HWY 58 this looks like a little mountain range, but it is more like the edge of a bluff.

Around back, entrance to the Precision Impact Range Area.

Be advised!
