Nice report. The Coso's have been on my radar for quite some time. Thanks for the nudge.
You have done the same for us!

Ordered some maps from BLM. Not exactly the cutting edge of technology there. No, not coast range, coso range. They were cheap though.

I should say nicer things about BLM. Maps arrived today. They even tossed in EIGHT subregion ohv maps. Btw, I was wrong, its not the Ridgecrest map, its the Darwin Hills map that covers Coso. Good thing I ordered both
Oh, I see why the extra maps. Darwin Hills has 1999 date. Ridgecrest is 2008. The ohv maps are all date 2011.

Thank you again for sharing your adventures with us. I am constantly inspired by your trips in the 395 region, right when I think
I have an adventure picked out you post a new one and I change my direction.
I think our next adventure will be the Bradshaw Trail near the Salton Sea area.
Thanks again Bud

Great report.
I've been wanting to explore the Coso area for a long time.
I've been to the canyon in the Nelson Range and it is amazing.
