overland

Mojave road March 8-9-10

Thought it would be nice to do it in 4 days but ended up doing it in 3. I don’t really know why we did it so quickly. It was just so much fun driving I guess.
we avoided Watso Wash after having a look at it and we crossed the Playa and adjacent tricky sand area in winds gusting to at least 40 mph. I almost got blown off the travelers monument. It got interesting finding our way through the flats with blowing sand. Luckily the cairns and posts are still in place. The OTH Gaia download worked flawlessly. The water crossing was about knee deep so roughly 24”. The other crossing has been filled in with rocks and is maybe a foot deep.
And the sand is deep in some places. You have to be careful. We deployed the Maxx traxx twice..
