Bagdad is an active cooper town. View from Highway 96 We have camped here many times and have only seen one other person... not counting the mystery figure who walked by late at night. It is rugged and harsh desert conditions with cactus, ect... be prepared as summer temperatures that can be over 100 degrees. The road has several washes that could flood during a storm. What about killer bees and other deadly creatures... can you survive... Rocks and minerals abound. We found a big plate of quartz crystals. Previous years we found some wild looking rocks. There is gold everywhere... we just haven't found it yet. Muleshoe Ranch Road Muleshoe Ranch Road Muleshoe Ranch Road Between MP 7-8 there is an unmarked road to the east. Look for a structure with two solar panels and that marks the turn. Don't know the name, for now calling it Muleshoe Ranch Road. There are several areas to camp down this road. Coyotes and rabbits are common sights. When we camped here previously, there was someone who walked down the road in the middle of the night. If you continue towards the end of this road, there is abandoned ranch house. As we walked towards the house, you could feel a set of eyes watching you. Abandoned Ranch with ghost??? There is no evidence that anybody lives here, but this is as close as we got. Cactus We love this place because it is so remote... there is nobody... the less people of almost anywhere. Near MP #11, you will cross a bridge and there are some camp areas along the creek. Most of the spots are in view of the main road with easy access. What must of been a military practice, as the ground started to rumble and the dog ran for cover... two jets appeared from over the top of the hills. One jet was in pursuit of the other and fired a couple missiles. The missiles all missed, leaving a trail of smoke and then mysteriously disappeared. That was a ride... your imagination just took over... either you dived for cover or searched for a better view.
