Hey Lex you read my mind. We will be headed up further north this weekend. How is that spot where you were at?

I was there last weekend. Lenwood Road is CLOSED from the 15. DONT GO THAT ROAD. Rather go from 15 to 58 and get off Lenwood on 58.

Looks like our airsoft event has been postponed, so the Bad Karma crew just might make this afterall. There are some great spots to camp/shoot/ride in and around the Calico Mts. off of Mule Canyon Rd which is a pretty accessable dirt road off of Calico Rd. There are some large areas to camp in that are easy to get to, or go further back to limit access by the riff raff.

Better to go further back on Mule Canyon Rd. That area is still visable from Calico Rd and even the Hwy, better to be out of sight with all the big bad green iron and of course other toys.

Unless we all get a quick desert camo repaint.:whistle: I agree, out of plain sight is best.

DUG would be very happy with that idea.

Here's the first location up Mule Canyon Rd. This is heavilly used by campers and RV's most weekends.

If you go further up E.Phillips (severe 4x4 rd at one point) or go east on Mule Canyon Rd to Tin Can Alley and take a left (how anyone without 4wd would need to go)...there are some really cool places up there that are far less traveled. An awesome natural arch in the rocks, mines, etc. If I recall there were several areas back there large enough to accomodate everyone.

We probably need to set in stone where we are going before everyone is willing to chime in and say they are indeed going.

That said, I'm pretty sure I will be going (M109) as well as the Bad Karma group (M35 + trucks and trailer) which adds another 5-10 people or so.

OK, kids here is the site we checked out this weekend and it has plenty of room for all of us, I mean even everybody here on this site. Was not sure how to cut and paste the coordinates, but you can copy it to Google and it will take you there.
34.98437,-117.114258

Pictuers are soon to come.

I know the pinprobably isn't in the exact location, but that is private land. Need to go SW towards the white area to be on BLM land unless we have the land owners permission.

Are there hills or something for a shooting backdrop?

Looks like a large area, so no worries about having enough space.
The hills to the SW will be the backdrop. Computer is not wanting to cooperate to allow me to download pics. I'll have to try again tomorrow.
