Sounds like fun. We would like to join you. We have been wanting to run the old road for some time now. Please let us know what date you set. We are available the first and the fourth weekends in April, if that works out. There is a great book out called Mojave Road Guide, An Adventure Through Time by Dennis G. Casebier. It is full of great info and it gives a mile by mile, play by play tour of the road with maps and history from the start to the finish of the road.
