Well worth visiting, a beautiful mojave landscape. Went and wandered around on 5.11.9 and weather was warm w/ a cool breeze. Encountered a swarm of hundreds of bees just feet down the trail buzzing by 5 feet or so over my head. Guess they weren't africanized or else I would be very un-happy still. And encountered 3 desert tortoises.
heat has never really bothered me - to a point. once it hits 105+ i start to take notice, but up to then i seem to do ok so long as i stay hydrated. after 105 i start to get sluggish.
i didn't see that cave. think it is quite rude of the desert denizens doing there business in there tho. don't they know people might want to enjoy its cool and shade sometimes sans scat ? haha.

Re: Very nice areaYikes! 5-11-09 must have been a bit warm!
The big cave on NCB has much evidence of animals gathering there to keep cool (use your imagination!).
