South out of Vegas on trails to Searchlight, NV, then on to Christmas Tree Pass, which is at the intersection of US95 and State Road 163 (the road to Laughlin).

Once done there, west through the Mojave Preserve on the old Mojave Trail then north to Jean, then back to town.

Mostly easy trails so newcomers are welcome.

We'll find some optional obstacles for those that prefer life on three wheels. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Anybody wanna go? It'll be a long day but should be lots of fun. Families welcome!

I guess if you gotta miss a good time in a Hummer, NYC is a pretty good reason. Have fun! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I surely hope we don't have anyone on two wheels! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Two wheels is a lot more common than you may think, usually diagonally opposite corners. Three wheels is getting scary though http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ah, I was thinking ramps and jumps. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I noticed in Alec's Moab trailer where Tim was crossing the crack, perfectly balanced with only two tires touching.

Not many pictures to post, HummBeBe. We had a three truck turnout and some pretty easy trails. Nice scenery though so it was a good time. Looking forward to a January run.

Thanks! Love the desert! That BLack rig does look sweet!

Yup, gotta love the desert. The more time you spend in it the more interesting stuff you'll find. Quite a variety of plants in this pic if you look closely. This was up around 3,500 feet on the east end of the Mojave Preserve.

What's a bumper dumper? It's the most important piece of gear you can carry when traveling with a wife and two young daughters. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Yup, that's Albie's. It dwarfs my truck! He posted some close-up and clean pics in a few other threads. I don't remember where but if I find a link, will post.
