Hi Guys,
This is a feeler thread for those interested in doing more of an adventure trip than a rock crawling trip.
Announcing Heep's 2010 First Time Mojave Road Trip!
Ever wanted to get away from it all? Leave worries behind? I do and I like to do it where I can camp, explore new areas and see things I've never seen before!
This trip is not for the light hearted. Your vehicle needs to be ship shape!
NOTE: YOU CAN HAVE UP TO 8 VEHICLES BEFORE YOU NEED A PERMIT. I AM NOT GETTING A PERMIT. IF WE HAVE TO, MAYBE WE CAN BE "TWO GROUPS", BUT OTHERWISE DON'T COMMIT IF YOU AREN'T COMING!
(Cal did it nicely..."pencil" him in!)
My personal requirements for attendees:
1. Adventure Spirit
2. Water containers for 3 days (there are no "pit stops" on the road)
3. No BS - fighting in the desert is a nono with the Adventure Brigade...unless against the dog.
4. No heavy drugs...PM if you have questions.
5. Interest in history (we have books and stuff and will be stopping to read about what we're looking at)
6. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPECT - DO NOT go off trail. The desert is fragile...even the sand dunes.
7. Recovery - Including tow rope, recovery points front and rear, CB radio (optional), jack, FULL SIZE spare tire, tire repair kit (optional), air compressor (optional), TOOLS
8. Current Registration.
9. 5 or more gallons of extra fuel
There will be more posted as I gather info and what not, but yea
Plan so far is the drive out to the trail head to camp on Thursday night - run the trail and explore Friday-Sunday and book it back to Los Angeles (for me) on Sunday evening/night.
Anybody interested? I'll post some photos to stir interest!
note: This is not a rock crawling trip...just a desert adventure (stock vehicles welcome!!!! and FAMILIES OK as long as you're good with the average 25yo shenanigans....
)

SoCal Fest. That being said, there's no guarantee I can go, but I'd sure love to!
