From when I was younger & didn't drive [back before the War [Crimean]], I used a bicyle with a rear rack, bungy cords, and a backpack on the back of the bicycle to get to many places. You have an effective radius of 20 miles {out & back}.

I will be in Grand Prairie for a week in the end of May...I'd love to talk more about this spot if you can....

I lived in the housing area on the corner of Arabia and Gotland Dr. I had to walk strait throw the heart of it so I could get to the spillway to go fishing. That was about 7-9 years ago though and if your lucky you might find my old Safety-Rope Hidden somewhere or some old Mud-Boots.

Have Fun.

there are plenty of footpaths, accessible from the minor roads to the south or/and west. Just use these and sneak away from the paths when no one else is around

yeh dint see those other roads til i looked at google maps. they aint that obvious from the motorway

Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows what the current situation may be with some of the locations posted up on google maps in the SoCal area? Particularly the Salton Sea location. I have a lovely lady that was to go sinking with me, and needless to say, I want to get a move on this ASAP. If anyone has any experience with this area or others in the SoCal or even Nor-cal areas, info would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to throw one little tidbit in regarding the Holiday Rock Quarry post, I highly recommend no one go there because those rock quarries are usually private property and usually those companies have security that patrol their quarries to keep out intruders because 99% of the time people steal shit. I have first had experience in this field because I work for a different rock quarry (won't say which) and if you're caught not only will you have a lot of explaining to do, but you will also be heavily fined, arrested, or both. Don't wanna rain on people's parade, but I don't want anyone here getting arrested either. Happy sinking

Hollywood_CGD, could you clarify whether you're talking about the Holiday Rock Quarry location in Palmdale, California or somewhere else? Alas, they have so many...

Quarrymen are indeed a rare breed, but indeed, quarries are where the really good mud is and, challange accepted, post your location, and more importantly, the depth and quality of your mud, we'll let you know what it was like...
