is the planned route 2wd friendly?
Yes, everything should be 2WD compatible. If you got into a small jam we have the capabilities to get you moving again.

What are these "bug suits" that you speak of? Perhaps a visual aid would be in order, to help us understand. I would hate to show up under-equipped.
I did a internet search and found this pic of a bug suit to give you an idea:

Not to mention that he will have a hard time getting laid, unless he pays for it.

HAHAHHAHAHAH, Yeah.....I did a quick google-fu search and that's the first thing that popped up. Maybe I should do a better job in the future.

That can't possibly be real. You must be screwing with us. No one in their right mind would really dress like that . . . would they?

It's hard to tell for sure (I was afraid to look too closely) but it would appear that the hands are exposed as well.
That suit looks somewhat flimsy. It might stop those Florida Zika bugs, but I'll bet something big, like the type found in, oh I don't know, maybe Alaska, would bore right through that thing.

I'm pretty sure the desert never closes...some people are just too much of a wuss to go out when it's warm outside.

Some men are warm blooded, and thus prefer the cooler climates. I'd much rather wait until it's under a bajillion degrees outside; less bugs, and my sweat isn't sweating.

You are of course very welcome to meet up with us down there. If you can get out of work early-ish maybe you can jump down there. I'll make sure you get good directions to find us. It won't be turn right at the first cholla cactus off the road and right at the big rock with the crack in it either.

I'm surprised bug-man hasn't shown up here. Maybe he is too busy bug-proofing his chinese trailer.
Maybe he's getting it all ready to come on this trip? ? ? ? ? ?

The temperatures never dipped below about 61 or so and there were no winds to speak of. I got a check in from home along with an updated local to our area weather report over the 2m which is pretty impressive as it's over 100 miles away. A few rum and somethings around the fire with great conversation about family and whatever else we could think of to while away the few hours before we both decided to get to bed and each climbed into our respective mobile homes for the night. I should add we didn't see or hear anyone else in the area which is always a plus.
Next morning we got up to a beautiful and very calm day. Broke camp and decided to head into Borrego Springs for a very hearty breakfast. Just after Christmas circle I had my eyes off the road but Duffman said there was a modded out X that passed us with a friendly wave and I just caught a glimpse of it in my rearview window. Right before we left the Kendall's restaurant, a young man came up and said he liked our Xterras and said he used to be an active SCCX Member. His name escapes me my but said he was about 16 years old when he owned his X and went on the trips. Maybe Duffman is better with names than I am? He remarked that was about 8 years ago and remembered Frank. Kind of a small world. We both headed home after that and kept each other company during the rest of the trip on the 2m radios while playing musical repeaters. All in all a very fun and mellow trip into the desert.

. . . . BTW Frank, the kids name was Bruce something.
I had a feeling it might be Bruce Edly. He's a really good guy. He went on quite a few trips around Anza Borrego with us back then. In his spare time he was always out hunting for snakes. In fact, if you stop in to the Ocotillo Wells OHV Ranger Station and check out the color brochure they have on the snakes of the area, most of the photos are his. He really knows his way around Anza Borrego and Ocotillo Wells. He went on to get a degree in snakes (herpetology) or something like that.
