>> Depending on what you want to get in the desert, the best California

>> west of Needles on Hwy 40. Take the Kelbaker Rd. north about 8 miles
>> to the top of Granite Pass. At the top you'll see a
>> telecommunications relay tower on your right (to the east of the
>> road). Just across is an unmaintained dirt road (4WD that doesn't
>> high-center is recommended). There are many campsights off to the
>> south of the road against the Granites (if you want a fire, bring
>> your own wood supply). All maintained as part of the new Kelso
>> national park system, the campsights are unregulated but accessible
>> within easy walking distance of either mountain desert habitats with
>> lots of critter life, or the desert, itself (part of the Mojave
>> ecosystem) within hiking distance of the campsights off to the north
>> and west. To the north about 10 miles are the Kelso Dunes, one of the
>> sites in the desert SW where you can record the dunes singing
>> assuming conditions are right and you have the right transducers (a
>> pair of good PZM mics or hydrophones in ziploc bags of water buried
>> in the sand in order to get the infrasound component at around 10Hz).
>> Best window to record is between late March and May. There's also a
>> National Park Service visitor center north of the dunes on the
>> Kelbaker Rd at Kelso where we've just installed a couple of
>> soundscapes representing the desert in that area. It is scheduled to
>> be open sometime in August of this year.
>>
>> As for forest: that depends on what type. The coastal range of the
>> Los Padres between Big Sur and Cambria can be lovely - especially the
> > Ventana Wilderness area. Inland from San Luis Obispo and NE of Santa
>> Maria on the eastern side of the Los Padres Nat. Forest are a couple
>> of wilderness areas that can be pretty great depending on season and
>> weather. One is the La Panza Range within which is the Machesna Mtn
>> Wilderness area and consists of mixed coniferous, oak and scrub oak
>> forest. Take food and prepare to camp. The roads are sometimes iffy.
>> 4WD for any off-road recommended and watch for private property
