I've spent a considerable amount of time exploring around Wells, though my exploring was around Wells and not 'in' Wells. I have teased my wife about walking into Donnas just to say we went into a ************************* house LOL.

I would say Southern Utah though I have a pre-disposition to the region. That said there were pretty wild temp swings in the dead of winter, well below freezing nights and day could be 20* or 70*. Makes camping a bit more of a task but some of my most treasured Utah trips are down in SE Utah over the winter. Can't speak for Arizona but its got many a hidden treasures to be explored!

Hey! I hate the cold! There is tons to see where it is warm! Think of it more as a party thinker...

I dunno. I grew up in a desert. The snow is wonderful in all honesty.

Not when you are camping for a few days... Why be miserable and cold when you can be warm and comfortable?

[Mikezauner]

That's what coffee is for.

[Mike]

Doesn't help when your trying to sleep!

[Mikezauner]

You mean in Utah you don't have warm sleeping bags? I have a sleeping bag rated to -20F and I grew up in Texas. I used to go to the desert in New Mexico for camping/exploring, during summer it can get well below freezing during the night and into triple digits during the day, then during winter it can get even colder. I used to sleep outside of a tent out in the open, and never had a problem.

Regardless, I'm just giving you a hard time Mike. The warm would be nice.

[Mike]

-40 and I still can never stay warm at night. Maybe I need more facial hair like somebody I know

[Mikezauner]

You should. All cool men have thick beards.

[Jeff]

IMO Mohave or Yavapai (sp) county AZ would be the win. It should be considerably warmer than the other two locations and there are a bunch of mines in the area (info from gt.com) but my mom sent me pics of her front yard in Ivins this morning there was a bunch of snow so it may not really matter, the locations that are supposed to be warm may be cold. Damn global warming anyway.

[Mike]

Global Cooling is the correct term, here at MU. Things are getting cold...

As the official moderator of Mojave Underground I wish to inform Mike and Stuart that their pictures of the bearded man and lady have been removed.
I also would like to inform Miah that his post has been removed as well considering that without the inappropriate photographs his comment didn't make any sense at all.
Please stay on-topic unless it's funny and not disturbingly nasty.
Thank you for your time.

MIKE HAXORED THIS POST! ~Fish

Hey! How about I moderate your account into the trash!?! Moderate this!

[Mike Schriber]

If you guys (and gals) are interested in heading to California we're planning our third Tecopa trip in February. We'll probably start exploring the Gunsite this time and do some followup exploration in the War Eagle, Grant and Noonday mines as well.

I have no problem with it being cold, get a good fire going, throw some cow pies on it, then when its bed time, hop in you heavy sleeping bag. A few shots never hurt either

I would rather do southern utah, but haven't voted yet, as if it were in jan or feb I would most likely would only have Friday night, saturday and Sunday, it sucks to arrive at your camping spot and have to make it in the complete dark. If gas prices stay the same it would be fine, but you can never trust that.
