Bombs away...
I almost forgot to mention one of our little excursions when we went camping. What with finding Pete and then me going back in the hospital - I forgot all about this.
This was right before we found Pete. We saw a sign for Big Scrub Campground and decided to check it out. I knew that we were in a heavily used ATV area and we traveled the dirt road for about 5 miles and never came to any camping/recreation area.

And of course no little gate was going to stop us from trespassing adventuring...
I am not sure if this area was created from being bombed or construction or what but it was very neat.
The color of the clays varied from orange to purple and were simply beautiful.
So take some time to get off the beaten path - just don't do it in a bombing range no matter who tells you that they don't use live bombs....
