I doubt this little road has a name, or any other kind of official designation. However, as I use it to access a small point of rocks known as Lobo Point, I'll call it the Lobo Point Road.

Looking northeast from the slopes of Lobo Point toward Gold Valley Mine, one could see numerous Junipers and a few Pinyons that did not burn, especially in the low places along washes. In the middle ground, there are two Junipers that did not burn. These two Junipers were in a "parking lot" used when Merritt College camped here. Consequently, there were no shrubs around the Junipers to sustain the fire.

In the valley of Lobo Point, there is an informal campground. This is the location that Merritt College camped for many years. There is an old, scarred Juniper here. It's been shot, sawed, axed, and had every other manner insult. My contribution has been to eat lunch here at least once in every trip to the eastern Mojave, and to sit in the shade while enjoying the view of Lobo Point. I also confess to saving up the saving up the melt water in the cooler, and draining it somewhere in the drip line of the Juniper. After all the other insults, the Juniper was only singed on the lower branches by the Hackberry Complex fire, and it looks as though the tree may survive yet another insult.

Wild Horse Canyon Road can just be seen at the extreme left in two little gray patches from the gravel the Park Service has spread on the road. The little dirt road coming diagonally across the photo is the road to Lobo Point. My plot in Salvia dorri was in the general vicinity of my 4Runner that is parked in the middle ground.
