Back from Cali! Just the wife and I today and we had an awesome trip. The only bummer was finding out that the trail from the north end to Coloseum Mine is now blocked by security for the Bechtel Solar project. We'll do that again from the Cima end on the South someday in the fall.

Looking over the Mojave:

Old bunkhouse on the Cima rail siding:

This was an old slaughterhouse at Ivanpah:

Looking down into Death Valley Mine:

The main house was still standing:

We even raced a freight train from Ivanpah to Cima:

Yeah, Tom it was nice to get out and about again. I didn't relaize the group here was doing a run the same day or we may have tagged along with you guys.

In the end though, a day in the desert anywhere around here is a day well spent! :mrgreen:
