[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 43546, member: 21"] During world war two Patton started the Desert Training Center. It started in Pomona on west, to Phoenix on the west, Yuma to the south and to about Searchlight on the north. No wilderness to impede anything back then. Today you can find tank tracks through several of the so called "wilderness" areas. Today there are so many off limits wildernesses that Johnson valley is about the only large contiguous area left with the necessary terrain. For a long time it was a dream to connect 29 Palms with Ft Irwin. Here is a write up on the desert training center and a map.
