Mystery runways near El Marmol


By request, here are the mystery runways near El Marmol...



The southern one (looks ditched): 30º00'50.61" / 114º48'34.58"




The northern one (we saw from the ground on our last trip to El Volcan while exploring the roads): 30º03'25.75" / 114º48'19.28"

Here is how the military ditches a runway... this is the El Marmol airport runway (a mile from El Marmol along the road from Hwy. 1)...
