Location

Just across the Arizona/California border, close to Blythe, off the 10 Freeway.

Participants

JesseW, one drag-along (pictured), and two other passengers (not pictured).

Plans

This was the second of three hashes I attempted on the same day. (Here's the first and third.) It looked pretty close to the freeway...

Expedition

The in-car navigation told us to take Dome Rock Rd. It was very clear what rock it was referring to. We got pretty close (33.645008, -114.325934), but found that to be any closer we would have to drive on a rough dirt road that our Prius was not particularly suitable for. We got some pictures, and went on to the next one.
