Wide selection of birds, ect...

There are a couple dispersed campsites on
Sand Pass Road. Trees in the desert usually
means water and shade. Might be a old ranch
or homestead...

About a dozen cars passed by during the day. Mostly
ranchers and a couple hunters. The temperature was hot
and only crazy people would camp out here in summer.
Bring plenty of water and be prepared for desert conditions.
