Getting it all together at the Afton Canyon Off-Ramp. We were concerned that CA-ANNIE might have overloaded her rig (at left), but MOABFJ assured it that it would be much lighter after fireside consumption... He was quite correct.

OVERVIEW - 23 FJ Cruisers and 2 Four-Runners would run the Mojave Road from Afton Canyon (near Barstow, CA) to Fort Mojave (near Needles, CA) from Saturday, February 2 through Sunday, February 3.

Man it was a good time and I'm glad I came out for it. Next time I will show up with my own rig. (Thanks Croz for letting me co pilot.)

It was nice meeting you all from the left coast. See you on the next cross country trail run.

Still unpacking! Taking little breaks to sneak a peak at the board. Here's a pic I posted in the original thread to ease Sandabbe's mind.



More pics to come later

Good time for sure I am supper tired didn't even finish unpacking and cleaning up the mess. Larry let me spread my little wings and be the point man (drive real fast ahead of every one to make sure the trail was in good shape for every one) If you don't know me I love to drive fast and the Mojave is no exception for me. I only got a little to far out in front of them once in the wash on the first day. (its kind of a maze) I ended up having to drive back a couple miles to meet back up with them and then lead them back in to the wash. Once we got on to Soda lake Mir joined me out in front and man he is a wild man it was a little muddy and I was a little converned for the 2 4x2 we had but they got through fine, but Mir.... hahaha as we were crossing the lake at 60 or so we came up on a big mudd puddle I blasted through then watched Mir in my mirrors hit this thing and go flying up in the air and side ways he is sliding all over the place but brings the pig back down and straightens it out. we laughed about this one while we looked for a nice place to stop for lunch.


Ok I will post more tomorrow along with pics.


It was great meeting you all.
