We took a ride out on a different section of the Barry Goldwater military range. It was 35 miles from our place to where the ride started so we took the truck and trailered the 4wheeler. We went to park the truck and got it stuck in some very soft sand. Luckily the truck has 4 wheel drive and using that we got ourselves unstuck. It's only the second time in almost twelve years we have had to use the 4 wheel drive.
Our first stop out on the range was to check out combat village. It is a training area set up with buildings so that it looks like a Middle East town. There are some old tanks there and one tower like building has a cutout of a man with a sniper rifle sticking out of a window. We were out here a number of years ago and since then they have added a lot to the place. It is interesting to see how the military uses these desert backdrops for training the troops.
