Hidden Corners of Carrizo Plain National Monument and Death Valley National Park, April 2012
Carrizo_DV_01
First trip in the new 2012 Subaru Outback, set out to explore all the unamed dirt roads we haven't driven in the southernmost tip of Carrizo Plain.
Carrizo_DV_04
Surprized by an old adobe ruin up in the Caliente Range foothills.
Carrizo_DV_05
Climbing up the Caliente Range, miles south and east of the plain.
Carrizo_DV_06
Bizarre shack complex absorbed by the park. Hopefully abandoned, but we didn't want to poke.
Carrizo_DV_09
Back into different geological terrain.
Carrizo_DV_12
An old spring and ranch site tucked away, with NO CAMPING signs posted, so we did not.
Carrizo_DV_13
Very surprised to find this little box canyon up another dead end spur.
Carrizo_DV_15
Can't drive in this part, just peek in.
Carrizo_DV_16
Found this nice remote previously established campsite. No need to stay side by side with others in the family campgrounds.
Carrizo_DV_17
Sunset from up the hill above camp.
