Travel 20 Miles of Bad Road

20 Miles of Bad Road · **1 Like**

We drove the Jeep up to the Cottonwood Mountains from Joshua Tree to take a geology tour.The 1st photo is looking back and 2nd photo is where we are headed to go through the lower mountain range and loop around to the road in the first photo. Terri made a great picnic lunch to go along with a very interesting day of exploring. 4X4 is necessary on part of the trip.

Wow, pretty cool area! I don't see another soul!! Great shots and looks like a wonderful time.

So, Bob, you are saying my Miata wouldn't make it up there?

what an adventure, looks like great fun. Really nice detail in those hills BTW.

cheers

**Jacquot** · 01-30-2012, 07:16 PM

I agree, looks like fun!

Looks like a highway compared to some roads my Celica has been on (Grand Falls...). (Getting stuck in the sand up to the chassis where Route 66 used to be does not count.)

Nice location, but I would not tempt fate again, myself.

Looks like a nice adventure...reminds me a lot of my Big Bend explorations here in Texas......Old Ore Road in particular.
Regards!

Lori, you would probably not make a couple of the rocky sections, but if you broke down, you would really look good in the Miata. That would by styling for sure, but I would stop and pull you out.

It is sort of funny, as you age, everything becomes a lot of fun. Thanks for taking a look here.

Love that secod shot Bob, I can relate to some rough roads for sure but not quite as isolated - I envy your adventures my friend they seem never ending, hope to be at stage at some point myself.

Amazing scenes... could not be more opposite of what I see every day in terms of environment and weather ... funny thing is, your remoteness seems far more scary. What does happen if you get stuck or break down? I can't imagine you'd get cell phone reception out there.... But, Bob, these are great images that tell your story wonderfully. You are lucky to have each other to share such exciting and interesting adventures.

Talk about middle of nowhere! Any history on the road itself - why was it built, who built it? Anyway, neat shots, Bob.

Hey Jer - You might be being a little generous with the terms "road" and "built".

How the heck do you find these places Bob - Must have been a BIG roadside sign saying "Turn Here!".....
