Desert 1.0 Trip
November 1 - November 3
This is going to be one of 2 desert trips, the first trip is going to be more relaxed whereas the second trip we will focus on land nav and trauma care. The second trip will be in the same area but a different location further down the road.
Location
Out in Landers, CA on BLM land.
Turn onto dirt road here: 34.29532, -116.46183
Camp location: 34.28962, -116.47835
You’ll head to the Red Marker (of a jeep), 34.29532, -116.46183, then turn onto a dirt road, you’ll pass a water tank on the right, continue on another approximately 1.8 miles following the stakes in the ground. Follow the road until the second red marker (x), 34.28962, -116.47835. We’ll try to have two meet up times at the first red marker if you do not feel comfortable driving the dirt road.
