There have been 2 wind test towers up there for years, located basically west of Mann Lake. Came across them while flying the ultralight and later visited them on the motorcycle. If that's where they're going to put the turbines I doubt you'll be able to see them from the playa.

If you go when it is dry you may get a ride on...
We found this guy running all over the desert. We tracked him down and he offered us a ride.

I read a ride report on another forum of a group of guys doing the Steens/Alvord Desert last year, and it looked amazing.
Seeing these pictures in February just reinforces how amazing it really is. It's pretty cool to see snow in the mountains and water in the (dry) lake bed. Very Cool pictures

Is the main road through the desert good enough for street tires?

Sounds good to me! Want to come help me get off the bike after my ass puckers and locks to the seat?

 I ask these questions because I'm trying to plan a spring break trip. Was thinking of coming back up that way from Nevada. Need to fix that leaking fork seal first though...
