Here are some rough ESTIMATES on mileage.
From the I-10 and I-15 interchange,
El Mirage....70 mi. BLM comtrolled, rangers everywhere. No places to visit, flat landscape. Can get yery windy
Stoddard valley...75 mi. Lightly patrolled by BLM, deli and desert bar close, nice trails/roads. Depends on where you are for how windy it gets.
Lucerne Valley/Camprock road...87 mi. Virtually no BLM/Rangers, but controlled by BLM. No establishments to visit, lots of mines, trails/roads. Nice wind protection. A place called "Steves Place". In the middle of nowhere, and he has a cool gun range.
Redrock/Jawbone...195mi. YEARS since i've been there. Don't know how heavy BLM/Rangers are. Lots of space and terrain from desert to mountains. Again, depending on where you camp for wind protection.
Site B/Randsburg area...115 mi. Kind of flat, lots of space, 45 min from site B to Randsburg, nice 1800s bar that serves lunch, A WC6x that I was thinking about buying on the way into town !
Gary and Devin. Did some mileages form youse guys, don't know if they are too accurate, i've had 10 phone calls since I started figuring yours.
Devin,
Redrock...110
Stoddard...135
El Mirage...155
Lucerne...160
Site B...175
ALL but Redrock are via 138/18.
Gary, Add apx 25 miles to your mileage guestimates
IMHO, we should stick to the Stoddard, Lucerne, Site B/Randsburg areas.
These are only suggestions that I feel are fairly close and aren't too bad when it comes to the terrain or repairs. Please, if anyone else has an idea, put it out there.
