Thank you for the lesson. I've been itching to take an off-road driving class.

??? I have never had a puncture or damaged a sidewall while running 40-45 psi. I did several when I aired down to 20. This sidewall failure is clearly not a blowout, but a flexed sidewall cut on a protruding rock or ledge. That said... Great trip and great photos. This can be a pretty...

Great places. I am glad you decided to take the back roads around Mono Lake.

We also used to dip in Hot Creek - but things have changed dramatically after a few small earthquakes in the area. The area in the creek (the Northern shore, right near the blue cauldron-like place) where people used to warm themselves up became very hot. I believe couple of people scalded...

Please keep it going!

Nothing like waking up a campground owner at 11 pm in Valley Falls, Oregon.

Thanks - I will. I read up on the history of 395 last year - before driving about 800 miles on it; it was fascinating.

Thank you, Old 80 is on my list of roads to drive on. I enjoy even occasional blacktop trips on 94 as well - just need to slow down and enjoy it.

Berkeley. Not that it matters terribly on the grand scale of things.

Nice way to have eight forward-facing lights total. Maybe I missed a few.

There's so much wrong in this story...

Awesome. I was about to ask how you got around China Lake Echo range, but then saw the Ridgecrest BLM map that showed the route. This Mojave Desert crossing is on my bucket list now!

Burns Canyon Road leads to Big Bear Lake area - a good easy/moderate four wheel drive trail. There are some side "excursions" looping back to Burns Canyon Rd - some may be bad enough to turn a weekend into an "adventure." Also, trails 1N01 and 1N04 split off that road and end at Hwy.38 near 8000...

We weren't neglecting bourbon, either :)

The original U.S. 395 goes all the way to Mexican border. Parts of the 395 are still labelled as such in San Diego County.

US 395 is plain awesome. My favorite road - although I've only been as far on it as Lakeview, OR. http://3rj.org/TheSpineOfIdaho/us395.htm

We did eat a pound and a quarter of bacon between two of us - we just couldn't stop. No enthusiasm for dinner that day...

+1 :)

Try Pine Forest Wilderness.

Funny that I should come across this thread while thinking lazily of where I should go to Anza Borrego on Saturday... Dos Cabesas Road and Jojoba Canyon are on my list. It was very cool of you to post the historical references!
