Desert Exploring

I went driving, exploring, shooting and sort of hiking with my brother today.  Well to be honest it was a lot of driving and looking at some new scenery with very little hiking or shooting.  We went to an area off of I-8 that we had found a few years ago.  It was about 30 miles from the intersection of I-8 and I-10 in the middle of nowhere.  We drove on a dirt road for about 10 miles until we came to some abandon buildings that were begging to be explored. Upon further exploration we determined that the old buildings seemed to be part of an animal feedlot maybe for chickens or pigs.  It was a huge complex in the shape of an X with most of it decaying and falling down but with the foundation of concrete still intact. There was also a little pond with a few water holding tanks scattered around.  There were plenty of birds and small wildlife surrounding the pond and in the nearby desert.  It was starting to rain so with the threat of flash floods we kept the exploring and hiking to a minimum.  All in all it was a fun place to explore with a good dirt road to drive on and plenty of desert landscape to take in.
