THE ALTER
Even before we bought this TJ, Cindy and I were always heading out to the Mojave Desert to explore all that we could and after we got it, we were out there even more. The following pics were from a trip we did where we came across a cool alter on a mountain side, with an awesome view and with a strange shrine inside of a nearby mine shaft.
Here's a pic of our very stock TJ soon after hitting dirt. Of course, Andrew was quick to get out and look for rocks.
Making our way out to a place we love.
Just like now, we were always a sucker for driving across a desert dry lake or what some people refer to as, a playa.
Time to look for cool stuff.
Remnants of the last rains that just came through the area.
Life is good.
Across the valley and stopping at a mine that we'd been meaning to check out.
It was nice that Andrew always had a good time exploring with us and that this was all before cell phones, gameboys or the like.
This isn't exactly what we were expecting to find up here but it was very cool and interesting just the same.
Just like the alter, you can see that someone went through great lengths to improve the nearby exploratory shaft and make it into a shrine of sorts.
With the sun going down, it was time to make our way back to pavement.
Always nice to end the day with a beautiful desert sunset.
More pics to come
. Looking forward to more pics, if you indeed find some.
