4/12 break camp @ 900-930am
Back to pavement route 178 (trona wildrose rd) heading for Ballarat "ghost town" area off pavement . onX Offroad - https://webmap.onxmaps.com/offroad/map/query/36.030662536621094%2C-117.247802734375%2C15/overview
Then north on (Indian Ranch Road) to jail canyon trailhead , onX Offroad - https://webmap.onxmaps.com/offroad/share/content?share_id=01JN59Q6ZAG9PK0BQRMA0H1M30 this Trail is one-way in and out. It takes us to a very well preserved extensive old mining ruins to explore. When we return back down the canyon to the main trail (Indian Ranch Road) will head west for historic minietta cabin . onX Offroad - https://webmap.onxmaps.com/offroad/share/content?share_id=01JN5A0NAJVRNT0YK9NC7X1XBR For 2nd night camping . 4/13 break camp 9-930am for the return trip south to Ridgecrest & home. This is the tentative scheduled trip which is subject to change & interest. The majority of this trip is on BLM land . Pending any weather or wind forecast in the area. If the weather/wind becomes a concern an alternate Club day run 4/12 is planned for the Miller Jeep Trail(trail run leader request) run with an optional camping saturday night . If any questions you can contact me directly. Except for jail Canyon the majority of the trails are acceptable for stock vehicles. High clearance & 33" tires preferred would provide a better overall experience. I would recommend you have capability to carry additional fuel, this is a remote area once we leave the small town of Trona. The next nearest fuel is pannamint Springs way north you can (Google search) its a bit of a detour and their fuel prices are quite high due to their remote location. Note the waypoints I have shared are for a general reference to the area's we plan to visit . The areas we plan to visit can be searched online. There is a variety of information available. Possibly even YouTube. Please reply and post only here for anyone who may have interest for the trip.
