Date: November, 2012
Site Notes: We skipped sites A and B and were going to head up to sites C and D. However, after making the left hand turn to the west of the dump, I began to notice a lot of large agates in the road bed and in the wash, [...]]]></description>

Over the Memorial Day weekend we visited the Hector Hills location. Mitchell&#8217;s map is fine although the site is expansive and takes more time than we had available.
The road heading south from 66 that eventually connects to the Hector Mine is a well maintained county road fully passable by standard passenger cars. For those without [...]]]></description>

We visited site B of the Lavic entry on Monday, May 30.
Mitchell&#8217;s map is fine although note that the rail road crossing no longer exists. The road is well maintained and passable by standard passenger vehicles.
Due to some mechanical issues with my car, we only went part of the way down Lavic road and stayed [...]]]></description>

Date: February 21, 2011
Notes: We were back in the Barstow area visiting another site and stopped at this location for about an hour. That&#8217;s simply not enough time to properly look through the area. Also, on further inspection, I realized [...]]]></description>

Directions: The location is easy to reach and the map is fine. We visited Site A.
