Bickel Camp is a historic 1930's era mining camp close to Ridgecrest, California, in the El Paso Mountains. One thing that I found out is Walt invented several tools to aid the soldiers in WWII and he received a decoration for his contributions. He spent some time in the Army but was discharged with a back injury. That is when he moved to Bickel Camp permanently. 
You can get to Bickel Camp by Harts Road, from Route 14, or from the Mesquite Canyon Road, off Garlock Road. Trail EP 15/26 leads to the site. You can see from my video that a 4WD vehicle is needed. The road includes rocky inclines and sandy areas. Cell service was limited. It's a great place to visit!
