Revenue Canyon
|
To get to Revenue Canyon you simply drive to the end of Nadeau Road where
you will find a big quarry. You can't miss it. Just look for huge piles of
white, powdery stuff with some buildings and tractors by them, all enclosed
within a fence. A road passes around this plant to the right and goes on up
to the mouth of Revenue Canyon. Just before the mouth of the canyon you'll
see an old trailer. I didn't stop to take a close look at it and so I have
no information to provide on the trailer other than its location.
