We decided to take a little trip out to the Newfoundland Mountains, We loaded up our gear and hit the road early in the morning. We knew it would be a long day trip possibly a cold overnight stay in the desert. The road to the Newfoundland mountains is a pretty easy drive for a vehicle with moderate clearance, however once you are off of the "main roads" a high clearance 4x4 is recommended. Be warned though that some of the stretches are impassable when wet.
There are quite a few Mines in the area to explore. I do not encourage people to go and explore the mines. Here are a few that i know are there within a mile or so. There are a few prospect holes as well that i have left off of the map. We poked around the mines a little but we had some camera Trouble and did not get very many pictures this trip.
It is hard to see but the saddle in the middle is where the trail leads to, It is a trail more suited to a Jeep or a ATV.
This is from the end of the trail, For the Dodge. It was just to narrow to go any further so we hiked to the top to check it out and it definitely turned into an ATV trail.
On our way to the border of the Test and Training range we came across this old Dodge, or what was left of one.
We ended the day as usual with a fire and some food.
