    Description

    This is now a privately owned airport. But, the owner (Chuckwalla Valley Raceway) is more than happy to have aviators drop in most anytime, especially during on track event days. Just call first to make sure somebody is around (760-227-3100).

    During on track events and when winds allow, land runway 5 and take off runway 23, if possible.

    After landing and parking, check in at the office and ask for a ride to the paddock. During event weekends, camping may be allowed and/or trailers are available for rent. Just check with the office before hand.

      Weird Strange And Dangerous Finds In The Mojave Desert

      Wanna see some weird and things I came across when I was camping and traveling in the Mojave? If so, here are a few very strange finds I recently discovered on my journey.

      About Aquachigger:
      I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
      metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my Youtube "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

      BTW, you can also catch me here, https://www.facebook.com/chiggsarmy/ ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

      Abandoned California Town | Desert Center

      Literally... In the middle of nowhere!
      After a major letdown at Eagle Mountain.... I had a backup plan and quite honestly I'm very happy with the outcome.


      The town was founded in 1921 by Stephen A. Ragsdale, also known as "Desert Steve", and his wife, Lydia. Ragsdale was an itinerant preacher and cotton farmer, originally from Arkansas. In 1915, he left his farm in the Palo Verde Valley along the Colorado River to attend to some business in Los Angeles. The road between Phoenix and Los Angeles was mostly sand, and Ragsdale's vehicle broke down near a place called Gruendyke's Well. This featured a hand-dug well and was inhabited by a prospector named Bill Gruendyke. Gruendyke rescued Ragsdale and gave him food, shelter, and water until his vehicle was repaired and he could resume his journey to Los Angeles. He later moved back to Desert Center with his family to start a service station.

      10 ABANDONED Places in California....You should NEVER Explore!

      10 abandoned places in southern California and their backstory! Ghost towns, Abandoned houses, motels, tourist attractions & more!

      👉 CHECK OUT these 10 Abandoned Places in Arizona https://youtu.be/12f7B4Nwjqs

      Most of these old abandoned places can be found along the old historic route 66 and Interstate 15 going from Los Angeles, CA to Las Vegas, Nevada.

      *A couple of these Locations are NOT in California but are relatively close to Southern California
      area and I though they should still be on the list because of their mystique.

      DISCLAIMER! - all of these places are on private property and I DO NOT encourage you to go visit them.....use your own discretion
