We were surprised to see how desolate Delamar Dry lake was and how much solitude you can find yourself in with coming to this location. This place is perfect for a spot to get away from everything and just enjoy the surroundings in a obscure place.

We were also pleased to see that is BLM land and you are able to drive your car out on Delamar Dry Lake! After driving for about a mile on the lake, we encountered wide tire track marks which appear to indicate that the run way was, or use to be right here.
