Coso Range & Nelson Range - November 2018

[ski3pin]

We took a few days off after Thanksgiving thinking we'd head to Death Valley. We didn't quite make it to Death Valley but we still had a great time. The story can be found on our blog here -

Coso Range & Nelson Range - November 2018

We hope you enjoy coming along on the adventure!

It is quite a remarkable area. The well would have given me the willies for sure. Learned some more geography today. Not sure why I'd assumed the Silver Peak repeater was in the Sierras when its actually in the Coso Range south of where you were. Looks like that area is pretty lightly traveled?

another great report! Thanks for sharing. So, how old are those bits of rock art?

I always love a trip report that motivates me to fire up google earth and break out my maps but, none of my maps cover that area. Other than a 1951 topo and some street maps I'm not sure what I need to look for.

Superb report from Mr & Mrs 3Pin! I’m glad that you had the tablet with you! The Coso art is fantastic, thanks for letting us tag along!

Nice report Ski.

My gal calls her I-Pad her good camera, and has come in handy at times.

Great report Ski.

I toured that area about 15 years ago with a group of geology buddies. The glyphs in that region are quite spectacular as you so well captured. We were also very fortunate to have a connection with a consulting geologist and managed to get a private tour of the ruins at the old Coso Hot Springs Resort on the China Lake Test Center.

Thanks to you and the Lady for sharing your adventure.

Thanks Ski for sharing your great trip.
Who needs a camera when you have a smart phone/tablet.

What gives the blue color to the rocks?

Great rock art.

Interesting area. I wonder why so much art in that locale? Thanks for the report!

We were there during the week and it was nice and lonely.

There were other foot tracks, but not many.

Nice report. The Coso's have been on my radar for quite some time. Thanks for the nudge.

The article states older than 10,000 years.

I expect the make up of the rock and the type of light during the day.

Good question. I'm looking forward to reading the book that's on its way.
