Desert Expedition VIII
It is time to start planning the eight annual Desert Expedition, DE VIII. This year, we are going to traverse the Owens Valley in California.
A little background for those that may be reading of the DE series for the first time. I started the first trip as a way to spend time with my Dad, as he lives in Cali and I live in Georgia (soon to be Alabama). We don't spend time in the outdoors like we used to, and I wanted to remedy that problem. Since the first trip was to the deserts of SoCal, I picked an appropriate, if not overused, trip name. Prepping for the trip, I ended up with about 10 people, half of whom I did not know. (Isn't the Internet great?
)
Fast forward to today. This will be the eighth (yes, 8th!) year in a row for this event. We have lost a few of the original members, and gained several additional ones. As such, I am always looking to meet new people of like interests.
This year, the trip will be the first two weeks of September.
Since the warm weather will be with us (unless is snows like last year), the plan is to start in the city of Mojave, and head north up Hwy 395 to the Nevada border. There is quite a bit to see and explore along the way. I have compiled a list of possibilities, but am pretty sure there are more things to see than time allowed for.
Post up if you are interested in attending, as well as time constraints/suggestions and destination ideas.
As usual, participants must be completely self sufficient. Patience and a sense of humor are helpful, too. These trips are very laid back, without a specific, tight rigid schedule. I am on vacation, and I assume everyone else on the trip is too.
I'd like to limit the group size to 8 or 10 trucks.
