Hey guys, we're running out to the Death Valley Mine near Cima in January. We're planning on having lunch/cookout at the site and I thought I'd toss out the invite in case any of you wanted to make a trail run from the west to meet up.
This is from our original post:
Meet up at 0900 at the Nipton hotel/store. N 35° 28.016' W 115° 16.324'
Roll out by 0930. From here we will immediately be on the dirt following the railroad frontage. We will run this to Ivanpah and on to Cima. From there, we'll head over to the DV mine. We can back track and take Cima rd to the 15, or possibly see if we can make it into the Morning Star mine.
DV mine has a ton of ruins to explore. Please remember that this is an old mining camp. Kids and pets are welcomed but you need to keep an eye on them.
Ok, let me answer all the usual questions:
-This is a day run. Bring lunch. expect to possibly drive home in the dark.
-This trail is stock friendly.
-Fill up with gas at Stateline and you will be fine for the day to get back to a gas supply.
-Yes, there is a chance we may see snow and it will be cold.
-I am not going to post up an entire track for this. DV mine is well known but I really want to keep it close to all of us. I'll gladly post up history if you want.
