So I went out to the West Desert yesterday to do some exploring and found a few places that could be killer trails.....

but, what are the rules and regulations concerning the use of land, especially out in the friggin' desert? I was out by Merker, the gold mine, and found this wash that looked like it would be INSANE, if it were legal. It was steep, and had mostly smooth rock, with the occasional 2+ ft ledge.It was on Public Land, and had a sign that stated so right by the turn off the road. I drive up about 20 feet off the trail just to get a taste of it. (Shhhhhhhh!!!)
Heres a pic of the very bottom.....the rest of the ravine looks WAY diffrent, but its a GOOD kind of diffrent.
