To all,
I'm heading to the Hauser Beds Dec 29th. I'm trying to get a two dayer out of the trip but family obligations are intruding and I doubt I'll be able to get a day 2 from it.
I believe I will be staying at the Motel 6 in Blythe the night before - hitting a quick breakfast around 6:00 am at Denny's and then heading out to the beds. I plan to hit several sites during the day - mostly in the southern Black Hills - and several are up steep hillsides.
If you want to come, please let me know - but I will let you know - I will be nice and tell you about each of the places as we go through, but I'm on a mission to dig and collect and do a little exploration for some new places to hunt, so I won't be staying in one place too long. If you find you like a place to dig and want to stay, I'll say "I'm happy" but I'm moving on to the next spot. Hope I don't sound too bad saying this, but I haven't had a day out there in over a year and I get bored if I stay in one spot too long.
Though you don't absolutely need 4 w Drive, I recommend it. Also, if you want to go to all places, you need to be able to climb steep hills a bit. If you don't want to climb the hills, we will be next to places where you can park your vehicle and dig. These roadside sites are very much kid friendly - just watch for holes.
If you want to do more than one day - roam around with me the first day, and then head back out the next. The roads are not excessively bad, and once you've driven them, they aren't too hard to follow. It's the first time out that you need to learn the layout of the land.
Oh.. and don't pick up hitchhikers as you pass the state prison..
Is there anyone out there who might want to come, please let me know.
Lowell
