Default Silver Peak NV

Silver Peak has been walked on and looked at a few years ago by a couple of us Crystal Squadron "straight out bunch".
All of our data has been given to Jim and rolled into the Tehachapi data a year or two ago and I have reason to believe that it makes up its largest portion.
I can assure you that 100% the waypoints we provided were walked on and looked at, at least the last ten years. We do have an unwritten rule: "if you did not set foot on it you have no business landing on it".
But never the less these spots can and will change over time, even from year to year so use at your own risk.
We had posted detailed "driving directions" to the Region 12 website that were posted for years so all could study, look up on Google Earth and make a personal decision if not willing to set foot on it. It also would give the crew clear instructions as to how to get there.
Unfortunately the last two Region 12 director(s) neglected the website which was diligently kept up by Mike Havener, and it got shut down probably due to the lack of payment. A few of us even emailed the last guy offering money and the desire to keep up the website but never even got a response. This last guy now moved and resigned, good redens.
Some comments were made that we don't share information; well nothing further from the truth, not one group has shared a more comprehensive database than we did, please question your Region 12 director(s) for the blame....
