Covered in Dust 162 Posted March 17, 2014 Went wandering around the desert over the weekend with a friend in his jeep. Looking at old military camps and looking for good motorcycles routes to Havasu. I think we might have wandered onto 29 Palms Military base by mistake and into a live fire range. As long as we were already there we figured we might as well look around. This is where we started, it's called Big Rock. There were lots of these old blown up tanks. And thousands of these laying around Plus lots of bigger bombs We though we were in trouble when these guys came by but they just waved and went on their way. We tried to get back to the 40 thru Lavic Dry Lake but there were 2 helicopters shooting missiles at something on the lake so we thought it would be best if we found another way out. Then on Saturday we probably missed Crawdaddy and Riggerdan by an hour or two up in Chloride AZ. Edit, well after looking at Riggers post I guess they didn't make it up to Chloride this trip.

Jakerson 0 Posted March 17, 2014 That BSU-86 bomb fin was made in 2006, which means it was probably dropped in the last year or two...I could've loaded it! Definitely looks like a neat trip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FuzzyNugs 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Looks like you found some sweet stuff out there. The rock mural is very cool. Just a heads up though if you find yourself in places you maybe shouldn't be again..some of that stuff could be UXO(unexploded ordinance) with the potential to take a hand off or worse. Pics are cool, but picking junk up especially with fins is just adding more risk. Having worked on several desert training bases and received the safety briefs, I'd prefer you stay safe and in one piece as you make good posts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
