I've have been lurking on the board for a few weeks now. I've really been enjoying reading about the history of the area. This past weekend, my family and I were camping in Calico and we met B-spec and Kelly from the boards. They suggested I go ahead an post in the welcome thread.
Back in college, approx 1983, I had a '74 CJ6 which I took on a trip through Panamint, and Owen's valleys. As time permits, I'll scan and post some photos of the trip. Here's one from the yellow grade going up to Cerro Gordo:

I've always enjoyed that view of the Sierra's! Welcome to the board.
BTW, not all of us are as crazy as the two you mentioned!
Some of us are worse...

You can't see the true desert or real history from a paved road!
If you believe a politician has the answer, it must have been a dumb question!
