Please let us know how you do, I have been looking at running down there myself, but want to talk to some others about their luck before heading down there. I hear that there are still some pretty good nuggets to be found out there.

What luck? It's sure been great weather for a desert trip. Bet the nites were cold (by Calif standards sorry east coast)

Ed,

Let me know if you need any info. I live close to there and have the "Friends of Last Chance Canyon" map. On highway 14, about a mile or two from the turnoff on Garlock road the rangers station has tons of info.

Thanks Sierra, I wrote to them twice about parking for a 36' motorhome and havent recieved a reply. Are they still around ? I figured it would be a great area to take the family, i they get bored we can visit Burro Schmidt's tunnel and Walt Bickel's camp for fun.

No Prob for an RV. People just park anyplace they want. I'm pretty sure nobody gets any kind of official permission. There is also an old airstrip a couple of miles away that lots of RVs park on. Its about 3 miles east of the Garlock town site. You can see it on google earth.
