My drive started out in the lovely desert town of Mojave, just south of the El Paso Mountains and Red Rock State Park. I was by myself but I ran into lots of 4 wheelers out enjoying the excellent weather.
I started up Last Chance Canyon into the mountains. Temps were in the high 70's and the trail was moderate.
Jeeps are always getting stuck :sombrero:
Higher up into the El Paso you can see some of the marvelous colors that give Red Rocks Sp its name.
Mid day brought me to the famous Burro Schmidt tunnel. Burro Schmidt dug through half a mile of solid granite by himself and it only took him 38 years. By the time he completed his tunnel, a road had been built that made his tunnel obsolete.
After the tunnel I headed north out of the El Paso on Mesquite Canyon, a long and lonely exit that took me up to the 395. I was flying my quad copter which helped me get some good aerial shots.

With the Mojave behind me I headed up to the eastern Sierra...
