| A cold and windy day. The route from Chuckwalla is a nice change of pace from the usual monotonous hike-up-the-trail-hike-back-down routine, since once you drop down into the drainage west of Chuckwalla you are completely unaware of civilization (OK, there are a bunch of motorcycle tracks, but other than that...), and it's all cross-country. The 4x4 road to the shoulder of Chuckwalla makes for an interesting vehicle approach. |
