Took a drive out to the Mojave Road with Tom and his friends, we started at the Colorado River and made it to Kelbaker road where we ran out of time and everyone decided to head home since it was Sunday. I took along my big Pentax 6x7 120 format film camera and my Nexus 7 tablet. The Pentax takes great photos and the Nexus makes a great navigation device, I had downloaded all of the maps onto the device before leaving and used Backcountry Navigator Pro for the navigation app. It all really works great, don't think I'll be going back to my small screen Delorme anymore.
Tom has some VERY nice photos of the trip, way better than anything I have, hopefully he will share a few. You can find all the info you want to know about the Mojave Road on this website http://www.mojave-road.com B/W photos taken with the Pentax 6x7 with Ilford SFX 200 film, Red 25A filter and developed with Ilford DD-X Driving the road thru the joshua tree forest Somewhere in Lanfair Valley, next to the bus I think This is on the Fort Piute Trail This is the Fort Piute Valley / Canyon, you can see the remains of the fort in the lower left. The was running water in the stream. Camped at Fort Piute Cool old corral Lots of petroglyphs along the way Joshua Tree forest Old cabin along the way The Lava Beds near the Lava Tubes, this stuff is really hard to walk on! Parked somewhere, can't remember but apparently I went for a walk...
