I’ll still be doing some Saturday night camping trips. After soccer is over, I’ll be planning some longer trips. With Soccer games every Saturday through mid November, my schedule is a little limited.
Short trips include Calico, an extreme rock crawling trail (no kids) at Johnson Valley, and exploring in Afton Canyon. I’m sure I’ll end up with two to three trips, in addition to the ones listed.
I hope that the Afton Canyon exploring turns out to be really interesting. There’s a wash that I’ve started up and would like to continue to explore. The big quest is to see if we can work our way up to the top of the mud caves in Spooky Canyon. This will require driving up the back side of those mountains and I have no idea if it’s possible.
Longer trips will include a Death Valley Trip with visits to Panamint City and Barker Ranch (Charles Manson’s last hideout)
