Excelsior!
Dave Barton not only created a great mapset for exploring the Mojave Road (http://www.davebarton.com/mojave), he also found something really odd in one satellite image.
It is hidden away in a remote canyon near Cady Mountain. Lots of speculation as to the purpose of the location has ensued so I wrote to Dave and asked him if anyone had solved the mystery.
Turns out no one had so I decided to perform some research, review Dave's mapset and put together a day trip to the area.

I contacted some friends and soon we had a small group ready to head out on May 20th. Leaving Orange County at 6 AM we briefly stopped for gas outside of Barstow and were soon at Afton Canyon, ready to begin our adventure!
Right off the bat we had a quick Mojave River car wash before going further into the canyon
