<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Environmental: Hot as Hell in the summer, can get very cold at night during the winter. Watch out for snakes (rattlers and green mojave). Tarantula mating season is only a few months away. Coyotes galore there. The ravens you will see are huge and smart. They can pick apart an MRE better than a Soldier. <br /><br />Base: It&#39;s been built up since my day, but still isolated. It&#39;s still a hoot of a base though.<br /><br />Barstow: Avoid it like the plague unless you absolutely have to go there.<br /><br />It&#39;s pretty much centrally located between Vegas, LA, San Diego. Just a few hours either way of a drive.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The glow of light in the far east distance is Las Vegas. Always stay hydrated, even in the winter. If you are looking to complete a degree, Barstow College has classes around the rotations. I spent many hours in the classrooms to finish my degree. If you go exploring, have a battle buddy and be safe in the desert. Don&#39;t mess around with UXOs or wildlife. It is very hot in the summer and your car will be hot inside too. I had to wear gloves a few times just to touch the hot steering wheel. Enjoy the area at Ft Irwin.
