On to Afton Canyon “the Grand Canyon of the Mojave”

A BLM campground with lots of wildlife viewing where the Mojave River emerges from underground and has cut a large canyon.
You are kidding, right?
The BLM office in Barstow said the road was gravel but just about like getting to Owl Canyon (last week). They forgot to mention the rough 10%+ grade to get there. Steep is fine. Rough we can work through. Gravel we can do; but, Steep, Rough, Gravel is more of a challenge than necessary. It seems prudent to camp in the “group campground” on a mesa above the campground without going down the worst of the hills.
Made it out in one piece!!
