Lucerne Valley Exploration

[adventureduo]

Did some overlanding, explored 2000 year old Yuccas, an abandoned Granite quarry and old World War II bombing targets.

Hotter than heck, but always a good time no matter what.

Thanks for a great weekend Dave. That was on hell of a potluck. I can't believe we had so much food. You forgot to post the pic of me surfing down the mountain trying to earn a margarita! :sombrero:

I ran across one of those "bombing" sites out by Soggy Dry Lake. I thought maybe it was a parachute target, I'll have to go back and look for bomb remnants. The one I found is not the one in your pic. I'll have to look for yours as well.

Gabe, there are three out there so you were probably east of the one we looked at. The one we checked out was just east of the 247. There's also one near Johnson Valley a bit northern.

Grilled pizza was awesome, i need to do it again!

Wil, here's your photo. Your crazy man!

I'm still struggling with the fact that you grilled pizza. That's amazing.

I full admit to having Sportsmobile envy in a big way, but it is really good to see you back in the Cruiser. Somehow it just seems right.

We feel the same way Bill. Kind of fits us better.

Only "Pizza Dave" (that's your new nickname BTW :victory would grill pizza out on the trail!

It was a very fun trip! My new gf went with me too....I was worried becuase her first camping experience was downright miserable...but after this one, she told me she'd go on every run I go on too! :wings: What a gal!

Yes...the food was EPIC, and the company was even better! Lots of laughs had by all!

Oh, and grilled, stuffed jalapenos :drool:

Bombing site

hello, newbe here Was looking at this thread and wondered if you folks know of this site as there are many near to this one( like the one posted in the first post).
Lived in this area for 50+ years and the HI Desert is a treasure trove of interesting places.

Sweet report. I drive through that area on the roads all the time going to visit my parents. I had no idea that was out there.
