1 Rock-O'man-K'man

Landers is famous for being the epicenter of a large earthquake, and being the home of...

Giant Rock.

The chunk fell off in recent years, probably due to a bonfire.

The UFO groupies used to have an annual get-together out here.

There was a restaurant on the concrete pad. A dirt landing strip is right nearby.

A German (supposedly a spy) lived under it in the WWII era.

He was apparently killed by suspicious locals.

These are smaller giant rocks.

Apparently the BLM filled in the room under the rock.

Surprisingly, the graffiti level was not too bad.

Boulders on the mountainside.

White granite.

I'd hate to be next to it when that chunk popped off.

Ignorance is bliss.

The dirt road is not bad (a bit sandy in a couple short spots) but many criss-cross the bleak landscape and you could find yourself on the road to nowhere.

Here's the story.

These bikers asked about the Giant Rock. They could not get there via the dirt/sandy road.

Roy's is the biggest thing in Amboy. It is slowly being renovated after years of neglect.

Amboy Crater is in the background.

Roy's is slowly coming back to life, maybe, but the airport is pretty much done.

There has been a 'shoe tree' down the road for some time, but the 'underwear bush' is a recent addition.

There are a couple parking lots. This one leads to the fire department.
