We tried going out to the valley of names on the California side of the river. We started to park our trucks and trailers to off load our 4wheelers when the local Indian law enforcement stopped us and told us the reservation was closed and we would have to go another 5 miles to BLM land to park. Well we started to follow the gravel road and had to turn around and give up because it was too washboardy for our truck. Our friends kept going and did the ride. When they got back they told us when they came back on that road lots of people had parked their stuff on the reservation. We just hit it at the wrong time when someone was around to enforce the no parking thing. What is strange is even though the reservation is closed their casinos are open which are on reservation land also.
We are getting ready to move to Quartzsite for the month of April. We hope to do some more gold prospecting while we are there. We will then be going up into the White Mountains northeast of Phoenix for the summer. It should be cool up there and there is lots of 4wheeling trails. Right now it is still snowing and below freezing at night up there so we aren't in any hurry to get there.
