Travel Warning
Warning on Google Maps
Today’s satellite map technology is great, except for the times it’s not. Take Google Maps for example. When you opt for directions and punch in Mesquite, Nevada as your start location and Aravada Springs as the destination, it plots this cool looking map with two routes—the one highlighted in blue being the recommended route. WARNING! DO NOT TAKE THIS ROUTE using a car or truck.
It reminds me of the high-tech robot from Lost In Space saying, “DANGER – Will Robinson!”
The artificial intelligence in this estimation is flawed. Notice Google is attempting to plot the shortest route based on several criteria. But realize, the ruggedness of the road is not calculated in this guide. It doesn’t factor in the need for high-clearance 4×4 vehicles or side-by-side ATVs or UTVs. This is a requirement if you take this route.
It’s interesting when viewing the video footage in this blog, in a clip near the end where a passing ATV is loaded up with extra fuel containers. These guys are serious about being prepared in this wilderness.
If you want an enjoyable, more calm travel experience getting to Aravada Springs ranch, then by all means AVOID TAKING THIS ROUTE!
Please use the safer route from Mesquite, Nevada which only takes an hour and 13 minutes (or 41.1 miles), compared to the hour and 27 minute (28.9 miles) more DANGEROUS route via Lime Kiln Canyon way.
