Day 1 on the St. Anthony trip. Drove lots of desert roads, visited a old WWII practice bombing range and camped in the junipers.

More info on the bombs we found here WWII M382A PRACTICE BOMB.

Day 2 of the St. Anthony trip.

Driving a juniper forest. Lots of fun! Narrow and winding trail.

Airing up at the St. Anthony's sand dunes.

Narrow slot canyon we hiked to get to the iron door!

Iron door in the face of a cliff. Why? Built in 1952.


Looking down the slot canyon back at our camps spot for the night.

Lots of elevation for such a short drive.

Information copied and pasted from original posting:

Mordor v10.0
When: May 01 (Thur.) to May 04 (Sun.), 2025
Where: This campout is on the east side of Craters of the Moon National Monument at an abandoned quarry about a mile down Jim Brown Bridge Road, Google calls it Sid Road.
Direction: About 4 miles east of the little Idaho town of Richfield on the HWY 26/93 to Craters of the Moon. Heading east out of Richfield four miles from the LDS church and cemetery you turn right on Jim Brown Bridge (Google Sid Road) (GPS N 43.08874 W 114.07611) and in a very little bit cross abandoned rail road and then cross a river on a single lane bridge. Follow the gravel road for less than a mile and the quarry is on the south/right side of the road.

As always with these Mordor trips, this is boon docking at its best. If you did not bring it with you, you will have to make do.

I expect to be in camp around Thursday afternoon.

I will not be arriving till Friday late morning. I have a 35 mile day trip planned for Saturday through the lava flows. I may put together a trip for Friday afternoon if anyone is interested.

Mordor v10.0 update

Boise meetup location, On The Run Travel Center, 10026 S Eisenman Rd, Boise, ID 83716, 7:00am May 2 (Friday)

If anyone wants to join the caravan from Boise information above. Notice that the event dates are May 1-4 (Thursday - Sunday). I am not attending till Friday (2), so dates are different.

I am planning a couple of side trips on the way to camp so there will be some trail driving on the way there.

I also have a 18 mile trip planned out if anyone is interested for Friday afternoon and then a 35-40 mile trip planned for Saturday.

Trails could be narrow and brushy in some places. Could be mud out there as well. Road could have rocks so make sure you have good tires.

This is not a guided tour and all who attend are ultimately responsible for their own safety. I am not responsible for damage, injury and or death. You partake under your own free will knowing the dangers of such activities.

Hope to see you there! George.
