Red like mine but with a stripe. I've seen it twice now in the Wickenburg area. Don't know who owns it. I was out in Congress for a "Ghost Towns Tour" two Saturdays ago. So it could have been me then. Actually, there IS another one. Red like mine but with a stripe. I’ve seen it twice now in the Wickenburg area. Don’t know who owns it.

But this particular spot gets lots of traffic. Although people were kind enough not to leave any of their trash behind, there were plenty of footprints in the narrow canyons and tire tracks in the wider main canyon. This place is a long drive from pavement -- probably at least 50 miles -- so these other visitors are a lot more dedicated than we are. I've been to some other places that get fewer visitors. But even though I've been to a lot of VERY remote places out in the desert, there's always some sign that someone has been there before me. It's amazing. Thanks.
