We went for a drive last Sunday through Eagle Pass, to the west of Needles. It was a beautiful day and somewhat on the warmish side. The wash road was in pretty good condition so it must be getting a lot of use. We wanted to find the "clay pit" that T.More took us to back in 2000. Found my trusty notes (which were not too clear) and we headed off. We found the spot quite easily. The only problem is the old road to the pit was hardly visible and you are not supposed to drive on those roads anymore, even though they were once roads! T.More told us that the Mojave's used to trek all the way from Needles through Eagle Pass to this spot and use the clay to make their pots and figurines.




I was able to zoom in on this bird and he didn't seem to mind that we were watching him or her.



A nice sight to see this cactus in bloom.
