Some sections were smooth and fast, other parts were washboard slow. Somewhere around 35.19629419590779, -117.52994646089353 the road splits. Going left will take you to the dry lake beds. You want to go straight. From here, the summit should be obvious. I parked above the mine ruins and started my hike up. There is a gnarly 4×4 trail I followed until I picked up a light use trail. The very end was steep and loose. At the top was some sort of repeater installed in a pelican case, along with solar panels and an antenna. No markings on the case to indicate it’s operating frequency. Ham? GMRS? Does it even work anymore? I setup my station and worked 40M. As the sun was going down, so was I. Back at the truck I drank a beer watching the sunset, then headed to the dry lakes to camp for the night. A good write up of the geology is here. https://sotl.as/summits/Wmsty6/ND-231 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 22:09:14 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.benmook.com https://video.benmook.com/lazy-static/avatars/298a662a-dfdd-4a9f-b98f-8ffd38337b70.png https://video.benmook.com/videos/watch/e5b5f3a8-3dcf-4966-85d0-3ca0c0e3277c All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.benmook.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
