We were excited to hit the desert for the first time this season with a compete new setup. Stealth TH and Rzr 900 4 - we sold off the rzr 800 :) met up with Mpoulsen at Cuddeback. Saturday Am sunrise Camp all to ourselves Pit stop on our way to husky monument Saturday nights Dinner for the crew. Lobster season started October 1 so me and buddy went out Thursday night and got our limits. Saw the launch in Palmdale in the del taco parking lot, reminder; never stop in the hood at night :E

Army training (Ft. Irwin) lead me to love the desert.

Awesome! Nice toys, hauler, location, view, and dinner! Very cool. I live on the east coast but we do the desert a couple times a year too.

Bet you're liking more power and better suspension.I remember going across that lakebed soon after rains, very muddy, didn't want to stop, afraid I might not get out. I've also seen it deep in water. Other times, just dust.You are really close to the Black Canyon Petroglyphs - keep heading east past Husky monument, then south a few miles. You need to check it out next time you camp at Cuddleback.

Yes, east on BM6381. Inscription Canyon. It's not on the FOJ map - it's east of there. I literally have to use Google Maps to find it. I follow the dirt roads I see on Google Maps.

Very nice, heading to Teagle Wash this weekend, just up the road. We were in Ridgecrest for a few days for our GP. Wasn't the weather great? Hope you got the rain Saturday evening, made for some epic conditions Sunday morning.

Yeah we got the rain on Saturday. Didn’t realize Teague wash around that mountain until we did some exploring the last time out in Cuddeback. We are starting to get more familiar with the area, my girls are starting to remember some of the markers. :)

We made it out to the canyon last year. There was a professor that has been studying that place for years and he gave us a tour, descriptions and the history of the place. It was awesome.

That's Inscription Canyon. We just rode out there weekend before last. I like that ride.

I was surprised to see that the petroglyphs extend around the outer walls of the canyon. I discovered this when I walked out of rage to find the men's room.

Nice. We were planning to camp at Steven's Mine Rd. this weekend and ride out to the Trona Gem-O-Rama, but our group pooped out and we decided to stay home.

Have a good time!

loving the bigger trailer too. The 900 power is much better.

We’ve been wanting to go see black canyon. So just keep going on BM6381? I navigate with the FOJ map offline through Avenza maps and it doesn’t show black canyon.
