While the eastern half of the country was suffering a serious snowstorm, we were busy creating our own SANDSTORM!

Thankfully, the Mojave River in Afton Canyon afforded us a chance to splash the rigs clean...

15 rigs, about 130 miles of harsh desert terrain, two full days of driving, and not one breakdown or problem! Awesome drivers and outstanding rigs - HUMMER...TRULY like nothing else!

I thought you said your picture-taking quality was lame...?

Those look pretty good to me...

Not going to post my pics now...nope.

Did you get any good pics from the soda lake or the dropoff? Oh wait you were in front!

Thanks again for a great experience! Met some very cool people on the run, a great experience!

Nice pics, I can tell you all had fun. Post a few more I like looking at desert pics.

You missed out on a great trip Alec, join us next time, we all had a blast!

If no one else posts pics, I will but I know other people probably got better pics than I did.

The Soda Lake pics were verry cool, anyone? anyone?

They don't. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif But Rodster bought enough for everyone and they were quite the quality! It did make it much easier to spot vehicles around you in our own self-made sand storm weather system we created! With the flags and all lights powered on, well, at least you knew who was going to hit you!!

"Harsh desert terrain"??? Where? It looks like 130 miles of gravel roads.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif Somebody sure is sheltered. Would love to see you make pee pee in your pants in Moab or the Rubicon.

Nobody was implying the off-road driving was tough. It was common knowledge it's an easy trail and nobody ever said otherwise. The comment was refering to the surrounding elements.

Tell ya what, I'll drop ya off out there in the middle with a jug of water and a map (God I'd give my first born to do that). You come back and tell me how easy it was.

Can one of you ****tard mods tell me why this thread was moved? Did elcova members make a trip without your blessing and your throwing a fit? Childish! get a life for christs sake!

Terrain in SoCal/Nevada is often deceptive with the loose sand with many small sharp rocks. When my MTRs were new, I went up one such deceptively simple hill, and chewed-up the MTRs pretty good. The H2 following me bent a tie-rod at the top. Going down would be a controlled slide, as it's not possible to stop on the loose sand.

Oh yes, why the hell is this thread in woodshed? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Alec, I'm not here to argue. Done with that. As I said somewhere else, the hill is easy however it is steeper than it looks. As H2F said - a controlled slide to the bottom and not just me, every truck did the same even with tires aired down to 25 PSI.
