Desert Adventure

Friday February 14, 2014.  Valentines Day.  we decided to go into the desert.  The BLM people told us about a spring with birds..  Bonanza Springs.  We left the house at about 7:45 and actually got to the springs at about 11:45!  took us about an hour to get back to Needles.  so what took us so long to get there?  Bad directions and no map..

we did not know but we took the wrong road

Eric had to check out the road a few times to see if we could make it.. this one was not passable for us..  had to turn it around. 

we did see some old abandon mines
