Funny, we got lost coming back from it too and ended up by Fort Irwin road. We then bush whacked till we ended up in some lady's property and she came running out of trailer home in her Moo Moo shouting obscenities at us. We high tailed it out of there, Well my friends did, I was in my rhino so I was looking in the rear view mirror thinking she's gaining on me. :laugh1: and finally ended up over by the Ghost town.LOL, I know that shrine spot. (one of your pics looked like the view from there) We had friends that we went with and they had been there so they showed us. We hung out for while, didn't disturb anything and went on our way. We were a large group (kids from 10 to grandparents to 78 or so) of quads with one rhino, one bike....the idea was to loop the mountains and get back to camp. Well we got lost like a mofo. Bike rider went ahead to look for a way out when our trail started getting iffy and never came back. His wife if freaking, then the rhino breaks a tie rod. I finally found a way out that was a canyon that emptied onto Fort Irwin road. We were riding double, towing quads and had to leave the rhino behind. We returned to the rhino with the owners truck (@nickman123) only to find that the keys had been left back at camp. The plan was to use some engine power to get it up the ramps while controlling that loose wheel. We muscled it in and got back safely. At any rate, I kept thinking of that Brady Bunch episode when they had all the bad luck because of that idol he had........I figured one of the kids must've grabbed something from that cave! And the guy at on the bike was at camp when we got there. He said there was no way to get back to us the way he came, it was too knarly.
:lmao:
That was another epic trip!
