Big THANK YOU for allowing me to join! Like everyone else it was a great time!
Most memorable (from a northeastern’s perspective):
1. Desert scenery and diversity
2. Fire jenga
3. Fireworks under the starlit desert sky
4. First time tenting & camping in the desert
5. How incredibly dry and deserted the Mojave is (for obvious reasons)
Most shocking:
1. See #2 above…crazy Canadian
2. My left arm is 2x tanner than the rest of me
3. Steve’s run-in with the cactus. pictures anyone?
4. That the highly modified Heep was the only vehicle that got stuck. CarJeep to the rescue!
5. That my only ‘trail damage’ was a blown fuse in my CB radio (before we were even on the trails)
6. Minimal use of 4WD
7. How much sand & dust is inside my truck…already replaced the cabin filters
8. Not taking a #2 for 3 days :-/ (trick is not drinking coffee)
Most appreciated:
1. THE MEALS…OMG
2. Meeting new Nissan enthusiasts (and Chris with the taco which did very well)
3. Teamwork…The west coast Xterra scene has the same level of commitment to help each other as the NE. Your trail repair ingenuity is unparalleled.
4. The half gallon of gasoline that I bought from Jordan was just enough to get me to the closest gas station on the way home
5. Being unexpectedly initiated into the group…you pranksters
6. **Experiencing the Mojave 4x4 Road with a great group of people**
Thanks again SCCX and I look forward to the next expedition - Ben
