A few photos from the run.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to participate in this run.  We have eleven people in six rigs (all Jeeps) in our little convoy.  After meeting for breakfast at Peggy Sue's 50s diner in Yermo and a brief driver's meeting we took I-15 Northeast to Basin road where we paused to air down.  We visited the following sites:

1.  Afton Canyon Borax mine where we drove up the old railroad route to the mine.
2.  T-Bone Albright's grave site.
3.  Spooky Canyon, where we took leisurely walk into the darker regions of the Afton Canyon area.  A couple of folks were more adventurous and they did a bit of rope climbing into the upper regions of the slot canyon.
4.  Box canyon for a photo opportunity.
5.  We had lunch where the road exits the Mojave River.
6.  The Delores Holland grave site where we paid our respects to the little daughter of a railroad worker, lost while her father was working on the rail line in the 1930.  She rests just North of that rail line a few miles West of what was once the town of Crucero.

Delores Holland:  BIRTH   2 Mar 1931  DEATH  4 Jul 1931 (aged 4 months)
Father:  Sheldon Joseph Holland  Birth 25 Apr 1909  Death 16 Mar 1987
Mother:  Bertha Leoline Lamper Holland  Birth  21 Jun 1909   Death   18 Jan 1972

7.  The Crucero town site (nothing remains).
8.  We then followed the remains of the Tonopah and Tidewater railway grade south for a few miles to.......
9.  The mysterious Desert Megaphone.
10.  We then took Crucero Road South to Ludlow across the expansive dry lake (like driving on a dusty super highway) where we aired up and took I-40 back to the Daggett exit and headed North back to Yermo for a stop at the local Dairy Queen for a cold delicious treat.

What a great day. The temperature was in the low 70s with a slight breeze making for perfect 4-Wheelin'.  Thanks again to everyone who make this run so much fun!!!

I called the motel owner and was able to cancel our stay without being charged, its all good, no bad days, very nice people.
Should we ever decide to go to Moab we surly would stay at the Silver Sage.

Well, the weather forecast improved so, after breakfast at the Outpost Cafe, we made a last minute decision to revert to “Plan A” and explored more of the Coolgardie Limited Use Area. We visited several historic sites including the townsite of Coolgardie where we met the “Mayor of Coolgardie” (yes there is more to this story) and Well’s Cabin.

We had four rigs (three Jeeps and one Toyota) and eight people and lots of fun. We finished the day with a side trip through Rainbow Basin and a stop at the Original Del Taco in Barstow. It was a great day. Thank you to all who participated.

Hello everyone, there is a five day trip plant to Moab with a few of our club members. I made a non refundable reservation many weeks ago to make sure we could all be in the same Motel but I had an unforeseen five day stay in the hospital and won't be able to go. The doc said to lay low for at least six month.
If anyone is interested in taking over my reservation please contact me for all the details, thanks: Kurt & Rebecca

Thank you for having us. The trip was great and grandkids are hooked. I appreciate the help and patience with my lack of experience. Lots of interesting information along the way. Looking forward to future runs with the club.
