I just did a week long trip to Bradshaw Trail, KOFA NWR, Pichaco State Park and Sunflower Springs (south of Essex, CA.). Thanks to Les (a.k.a. LQHIKERS), whom didn't answer his phone - I suspect he's still in Saline Valley for the Bradshaw trail tip. I know I missed the pop-up bowl by a few weeks, but I had this planned for some time and couldn't find someone to take my relief on such short notice to make the bowl.
Picture 1: For many miles the Bradshaw trail form the northern border of the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gun Range and you don't want to go south of the road because of the unexploded Ordn ance you may run into.
Picture 2: This rail line looks too well maintained to go railbiking on, but I bet Les knows which ones are safe. There are quite a few abondoned rail lines in the general area.
Picture 3: This was just kind of windy.
Picture 4: A nice side canyon to the north.
Picture 5: Be sure to take plenty of water, you don't want to break down out here. Actually, the main road from the Salton Sea all the way to paved road near the Arizona boarder was very well maintained. I set my cruise control at 25 MPH (it's slowest maintained speed) and had a great time.
