Just make sure you're outside the boundaries of the
National Park.

There are some great spots to relic hunt out there, but
the heat would wipe me out in just minutes..lol

Best of luck! I'm moving out that way (Henderson, NV) next week arriving June 2 from Florida. Looking forward to poking around the desert myself once I'm settled. I'll be real interested in how you do... :-)

This weekend I will be heading to the gold fields deep in the desert. I will keep you guys posted on what I find . Any tips from you old timers would be cool thanks . You old timers are the best !!!!

Take twice to three times the water you think you'll need. If your not "adapted" to the desert heat, you'll go through it faster than you think.

You just might get some rain this weekend. There is some weather moving in. Watch out for flash floods in canyons. Good luck!
