A HUGE thank you to Danny for putting this trip together and leading a team of 20 unique rigs, personalities and off-roading skill levels through the vast Mojave Desert. Also, a HUGE thank you to Christiaan for organizing the food and making sure we all ate like kings and queens. I've said it before, but I think I eat better on the trail than I do at home!
Also a huge thank you to everyone on this trip who made it another memorable one for the record books. This was a great group of folks, and I can't wait to share some photos of our good time and see what everyone else was able to capture.
I too had fun. Always a great time on the Mojave Road.
After the bush fix to get him to the high way, Christiaan had his rig towed to my place. I swung by FierceX's place to pick up a set of coilovers....Fierce was still on the trail so he called ahead to his wife.
Took us about 45 min and he was on the road home by 8pm.
Good times.
This update is a huge relief. I agree with Jayrat - it's amazing what can be done on the trail with the great minds in this group. You guys know who you are, and this group wouldn't be the same without you. I tend to stay out of the way or simply hand tools because I don't have the same genius mind, but I'm always observing and learning, which gives me more and more confidence each time I hit the trails.
Joe your snoring on night 2 was a relief after I thought a mountain lion was just outside my tent, !
Ha! Maybe it was a mountain lion after all, because the wife said I wasn't snoring (although she does snore, and I tend to sleep through it at this point so maybe it was her).
In all honesty, I usually sleep well on these trips, but I slept like garbage each night out there for some reason and I woke up at least 5 or 6 times each night.
I think it was a combination between the hole in my air mattress and the super bright moon tricking me into thinking it was daylight.
