Sidewinder, Stoddard & West Ord Mountains

Sidewinder, Stoddard & West Ord Mountains

Saturday, April 22, 2017  • Trip Leader: Nelson Miller • Photos: Ken Hemkin & Jay Lawrence

Heading eastish from Apple Valley, Nelson led us by a local dinosaur gathering place then we visited backroad springs, a quail guzzler and several mine sites. Unfortunately, the big blue dino pictured in Bill Mann’s book has seen its last roundup and is now just a memory. We had a beautiful day with perfect temps and a light breeze. One flat tire, but otherwise a fine day in the desert.
