Spent 5 days in the middle of nowhere to test our survival skills. We did not see another human the entire time in this remote area that was used from 1942 to 1944 as a training ground for WWII troops that would be fighting in similar conditions in the deserts of North Africa. California-Arizona Maneuver Area (CAMA as it was called) was to serve as a theater of operations to train combat troops, service units and staffs under conditions similar to those which might be encountered overseas. The CAMA was enlarged to include both a communications zone and combat zone, approximately 350 miles wide and 250 miles long. Ruins and signs of the activity are everywhere. High clearance 4WD a must to get out here. If you are so inclined, please beware of the bees which will, as we learned the hard way, become aggressive in large numbers with little forewarning.
