3/4 mile. There are spectacular
panoramas and interesting desert
vegetation and rock formations. We

remnants from war training in the
area, the "Vicksburg" in rocks-a vi-

proceed north towards Bouse and
view the General Patton's training
camp bivouac site. The ride con-
cludes at Bouse Community Park.
