Topic: Mojave Rd 04.19.2013-04.21.2013

I have marked some vacation days for this so please add me to the list.  I think there is a maximum number of vehicles allowed per group on Mojave Road, so I definitely don't want to miss out on this. 

Seems like interest is there so I'll move forward. There is a limit of seven vehicles on the trail per group. Last year I pulled a permit for up to 15 vehicles and 30 people from the Mojave Preserve. I'll do the same this year. I'll update the opening later this week from home.

I'm down.  March or April.

Be aware of the 7 (?) truck limit without a permit. The permit's take weeks to get ... the government moves slowly!

If the spring is wet Soda dry lake might be so dry and closed so you'll have to by-pass to Baker and hit more of the middle to east of the trail. The park got a really (really) good soaking two weeks ago so the desert ought to bloom pretty good this spring but who knows the timing.

We're likely going to do the trail either with the group or solo as we've done it every year but this one ... the truck was feeling ill under foot.

Danny/Toro did a great job in 2012 coordinating the necessary permits for the group.

As a matter of fact, he did a great job of organizing, leading, photographing and making sure everyone had a great time in general. 
I hope this brings Randolf, Mark and Nina out of hiding. You guys are missed

How hectic is the trail you'll be blazing? I'd like to have a 2" lift & new shocks installed by April but if not, would a stock 4x4 be able to rock Mojave (carefully of course)?

Randy, it seems you know Mojave and you know what I can get done in my X - please let me know what you think

If yes, then count me in for whatever dates are decided! If, of course, a larger group permit is acquired. If not, I'll be working even harder to get my sliders & lift set up!

Hey Joey,
You will have no problem stock.  Make sure that you have the basic emergency gear listed elsewhere on this site.  A CB is a must to make this run the most fun and may be a requirement if you don't have a ham radio.  Sliders are always nice when you want to go off trail but not necessary on this run.
Toro, if I missed anything please jump in.
See you guys there

Thank You Randy, very nice of you.

You'll be fine. This is bone stock (mud flaps and step rails) friendly.
