What a great wekend of 4 wheelin. My daughter and I went camping in Afton canyon(between Las Vegas and barstow.) There is a big wash and a stream that runs through the middle. the cliffs are 300+ feet tall with huge crevice's you could drive right into them. came across 2 water "Ponds" that I had to cross just to get in there and found that my monty handled it really well. At the deepest I was in almost to the top of the grill. super nasty. I cant wait to get back out there for a day trip soon here. I also want to explore the old silver mining area around calico ghost town. The trails looked really great.
Any socal people want to hook up some time lets plan something and get out there.

I wish I could tag with ya! That souned completely awesome..that area is very pretty, and I've always wanted to see that ghost town. I'm from Cental Cali, and I always went up near Pinecrest(Strawberry area) in the Sierra Nevadas..I absolutely loved it up there. When Sonora pass is open, I really encourage you to get into the back woods there when it has some snow..It gets really challenging! Unfortunately, I won't be back in the area(with my 'tero) for about five years from now, being that Germany is my next destination..Swiss Alps, Here I COME!!

It was a great weekend. I got there and broke out the camera to take pictures of rainbow canyon and the bateries were dead. I forgot to make sure they had a charge. DOH SSPed

Thanks! May that be a lesson to all of us. Before you get wild and wanna do some crazy autobahn offroading, make sure you have a spotter posted with an awesome camera.. we wanna see pics!!! If you broke a CV and it tore off your fender, I wanna see pics! If you take a flatlander four wheeling for the first time, and he's gonna ... I'm sure you all get the point.. ;D
