Eastern Mojave Vegetation Winkler's Cabin Road  
 

Tom Schweich  

Home Page  I doubt this little road has a name, or any other kind of designation. However, since it is a cherry stem into the former location of Winkler's Cabin, I'll call it Winkler's Cabin Road. Another possible name could be the Blue Jay Mine Road, after the mine near Winkler's Cabin.

After the Hackberry Complex Fire, I found the patterns of light and dark interesting, each dark place marking the former location of a shrub.
