SCCX @ Bradshaw Trail / Red Cloud Mine 3/24-25

SCCX's March run was to the Bradshaw Trail and the mining district around Red Cloud and Great Western Mine. The area is south of I-10 about 1/2 way between Indio and the CA/AZ border.

We had 18 trucks on Saturday, with 14 camping at a great primitive spot near the Great Western Mine. Over the 2 days we covered about 100 miles off-road.

Starting off down Red Canyon.








Checking out the bombs on the Bradshaw Trail.


Stopped for a break on Crack Pipe Hill. I need a wider lens, there were 4 or 5 more trucks than you can see here.


I just can't escape these things.


Narrow spot in the trail.

Here are a few more.

Sunday lunch break. Had to make our own shade.


The trucks got a bit dirty, but all in all it was a great trip.
