but, there's evidence that unsavory people from the nearby city of Barstow drive along this trail too.
I suppose that I am bit naive, because I don't imagine that the kind of people who drive 4x4 vehicles as being the same kind of people who deface public property. And, four wheel drive with low-range transfer case gearing is necessary to negotiate this trail.
The trail itself is a testament to the work performed by local volunteers, who spent many hours building the "Jeep" trail and the hiking trail that runs along side it.
The trail head is only a few miles outside of Barstow, and it is only an hour's drive from my home in the Rancho Cucamonga, CA area.
