Howdy all,

I am hearing all sorts of stories about the Bandit...the news article from the Victorville paper says all the recent events occured back in June, but the news is just popping up on the websites within the last week or so...when did this actually happen? Also, some say he was camping in Johnson Canyon, and one news article I read says about a mile south of Ibex Pass near Shoshone.

Reason I am curious is that I was just out in Southern D.V. about two weeks ago (weekend of July 17) and spent two days between Shoshone and Harry Wade road in just the area the newspaper says this happened. In fact, I even stopped at Ibex Pass where a fellow got his Mustang hung up on a rock in the gravel area on the west side of the highway, and I went in to Shoshone to call a tow truck. (The fellow didn't want to take a chance damaging the vehicle, or I would have helped him get it unstuck)

I am curious if this all happened a month ago and it is just hitting the news (unusual), or were the dates wrong and I was cruising all around his camp? I did visit a couple of the cabins on the south side of Harry Wade road and found them fairly well stocked with supplies, including MRE's and such which would have been useful to the Bandit if he were in the area...
