If I can get my oil changed before this weekend, I'm down. Busy schedule due to school but I may be able to work something out. Will post tomorrow if I can for sure.

[troyboy162]

finalized trip plans. the other run was 70 miles and would probably take too long

[Charcoal2010]

Unfortunately, I'm out. Big test friday so I wont get to my Jeep until Saturday morning. Maybe next time for me.

[COLOR="Blue"]The military used large asphalt circles as bombing targets for WWII practice. There is still fragments of the asphalt out there today. [/COLOR]

Means Dry lake still has craters from the bombing practice. The target rings are to the east & south of that lake.
