Chalk Mountain looks to be inside every boundary
I've ever seen, including the old Groom cattle fence.
Hard to imagine that Chalk was ever some kind of
isolated island of free land. County boundary,
cattle fence, and all that.

Anyway, what about those two barrels.
Are you seeing them on the sat shot?
I'm having a hard time seeing a barrel
there, compared to something like -
37.6111n 115.899w a bit north of
the back gate, north of the turnaround.

I note that the coord base has changed since
some of my earlier barrel notations. #17 for
example, southeast of the runways, is now
in the middle of nowhere, about 300 yards
west of the intersection.

I will make it a point to mark these spots with my GPS next time I get
a chance. The problem with the back gate area is the ranchers have
installed all sorts of water infrastructure back there, so you can't
tell what is what until you are on top of it. They have created a few
road hazards as well.

I used to drive around these back roads on a weekend if I went out to
watch a flag. But since Rachel has no gas, I don't drive the back
roads as much. I guess I need to bring a few gas cans with me. I
probably would have to either put my Road Warrior on top or get a
hitch mounted shelf to put on the back. More hassle than I want to
deal with.

Figure on getting 10mps going off road, so the gas goes pretty
quickly.
