We got a great air show, because that location wasn't too far from China Lake NAS, and we saw guys in fighter jet twisting around, having fun. |
Just up the canyon is the Barker Ranch where the Manson Family were caught.
And down the other side a ways is where that German couple and their kids got stuck in a rented minivan. They tried to walk to China Lake NAS (just more desert) to be rescued but they all died out there. A couple guys finally found their bones 10 or 15 years later.
Some of those leaverite rocks glow in the dark
