The sandy area to the left of the camp appears to be an old airstrip. I've driven my Jeep across it, and the cleared area appears to be oriented like a runway. I also found the remains of an old windsock. Many years ago, an old prospector told me that Chuck Yeager used to land on this strip, when he was stationed at Edwards Air Force Base. According to lore, as told to me my the old gentleman, Yeager would land here in order to go hunting in the area.
