Hey - great shots JeepCacher!! Thanks for posting them

 

Is there a book that you know of that would have all the cool sites out in the Randsburg and Goller Wash area? I am Pres. of a SMALL club and not at all familiar with this area but your pictures are great and I would love to have a club run up there. Do you know of a book or map that would have all the info and coordinates?
Thanks for the help,Paul.

 

The Cobra picture is pretty cool! I work for Bell Helicopter in Amarillo, TX and I helped build that bird! I've been working on the H-1 since the first went down the line. Looks like you had a good time!

 

If you get a copy of Backcountry Adventures: Southern California by Wilson and Massey, you'll find a lot of great trails out in that area. Charles Wells also has a decent book-- less descriptions but some different trails.

 

THANKS for the info I will get them.
Have a great day, Paul.

 

Great pics,thanks for sharing.
