I understand that in order to be a board member, I need to have complete understanding of how to use the delete key, and how to insert my comments into someone else's thread?

Posts Joe...insert comments into post.

No, comments need to be inserted into other members posts to qualify.

Ahhhhhh, Board members in the making!
No good deed goes unpunished

Isn't that like giving the inmates the keys to the asylum???...?

^^^^^^^^^^BINGO^^^^^^^^^^
How do you think I got the job

[Alex]

To be honest Alex, I'm not 100% sure. We'll be going into several areas that I haven't been before. There won't be any significant hill climbing or anything, but soft sand MIGHT be an issue. Unfortunately, the preserve website simply advises that you should have 4 wheel drive to travel any dirt road wtihin the preserve - they don't do a good job of breaking down the areas where you really need it.

I would think you'd be ok, and I'm perfectly fine with you giving it a shot. We'll just be extra cautious of sandy areas.

Got it: I'll be reading up on what I can find on the route condition and difficulty

I think adding a 2WD vehicle to the mix will make for a fun trip! Maybe if we are lucky, we will all get to practice our "recovery" plans!!!

Aha, hopefully not! I will have a tow strap and a rear hitch shackle just in case things go south.
I could handle the sand in Brashaw and Red Canyon just fine, maybe slightly deeper as well.

 If it helps any, I did the entire Mojave Rd. in 2wd no need to activate 4wd at anytime.

Same.

[JFanaselle]

I only activated 4WD when we were driving through the sand on the way to the old copper mine. And even then, I PROBABLY could have gotten by without it, but didn't want to risk it.

I believe that is waaaaay more sand than we will see on this trip, so we should be good Alex.

Hey Motorpig77 - we need to figure out the firewood situation. Do you have enough in "storage," or should we put out the call for everyone to bring some? I can haul some on my roof, and I'm sure we could fit a good amount in the bed of my cousin's F-150. It's only one night, but I'm sure we'd like a nice fire.

[knightrider]

Always better to have too much than not enough.  And better to have everyone chip in.

[Alex]

I have three bundles leftover from Bradshaw that I'm bringing.

[JFanaselle]

Good advice Jordan. That being said, if everyone can please bring a bundle or two, that'd be spectacular. I'll bring a few myself, and thank you Alex for bringing three as well!
