I live in Ridgecrest, Ca. I work for the Boeing Co. (IDS) at the China Lake Naval Weapons Center as a Flight Test Mechanic. My favorite activities are Jeepin' n Geocaching (they go hand in hand!) I am VP of our local 4WD Club, The Gear Grinders 4WD Club . I am also a proud member of the California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs, the BlueRibbon Coalition, the United Four Wheel Drive Association and the Stewards of the Sequoia.
Ridgecrest is in Indian Wells Valley, in the northern Mojave Desert. We are surrounded by the Sierra Nevada to the west, the Coso to the north, the Slate to the east, and the El Paso to the south. Not far (about 30 miles) to the east is Panamint Valley site of the Cal4Wheel event “Panamint Valley Days”. If you're visiting our area and would like 4WD info you can contact me through our club website
