noncents Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hello fellow hunters,I am going down to Temecula in southern California thru monday. I have been trying to research any dry lake beds or good sites to search, but have come up with nothing. If anyone knows about dry lake beds in that general area or along the way (driving down from san francisco) it would be greatly appreciated.Happy hunting to all.Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Simon, if you detour over to the Mohave desert you will find millions of unsearched acres...check for non-private land...fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Simon,We're in the middle of a huge heat wave right now. It was 105* at my house yesterday, and it's usually 20-30* cooler at my house than where I hunt out in the Mojave. I would not recommend going out this weekend unless you have experience with desert survival and the proper gear to, literally, not kill yourself; this is not the time of year for casual hikes to look for meteorites. If you are so bold (and prepared, i.e. 1 gallon H2O per person per hour), you'd have to head out toward Borrego Springs, or down into the Imperial Valley west of El Centro.

peakbager Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 There is not a whole lot down this way I live right next to temecula. But if you have a day to kill you can head north to Barstow and hunt coyote dry lake. I my self have never found anything there but there has been a lot of first time luck there. There are a number of lakes up in that area hunted most of them and got zip. Pretty hot out now for hunting so if you go take shade and LOTS of water. Good luck.

noncents Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks guys. I've been experiencing 107 degree weather here, so I think it's a no-go. However, I'm thinking about paying a visit to Cuddeback dry lake bed (saw a sign for it on the way down) on a future trip, and will look into the locations mentioned. I agree that right now is not the best time to go weather wise...it is SO HOT here! Oh well, thanks for the tips. Hopefully I'll get to search again soon.Happy hunting to all!

Nugget Shooter Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Often folks never look at the archives here (hint hint) we have YEARS of info and or locations (wink wink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noncents Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Sorry, a little new to the ins and outs of the forum. I will make sure to use it next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 No need to be sorry, Simon...Bill is kindly saying that there is a couple of lifetimes worth of experience, technique and information available to anyone willing to sift through the archives...almost every nubbie has the same set of questions. All of those questions have been asked and answered, usually more than once.Way back when I first learned of FORUMS, the first thing did after joining was to read all the back posts...something weird just happens to the font...fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
