PaulD Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 My trip report can't EVEN be initiated until I give a HUGE shout-out to our esteemed, young and talented President...! Miles did such and AWESOME job researching, guiding and narrating this epic adventure.. I am quite certain NO current-day 4WD club has EVER raised the bar this high...! So... I am working on my version of the re-cap. Meantime, I add 12 more pics to the google drive photo page. While I'm at it.. HUGE thanks to Yokrieger and Gotrovr for helping me out with the "on-the-trail" shock removal process.

SDS Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I finally put out the fires that started while I was on the trip and got around to uploading photos/videos and posting my “debriefing” thoughts. I enjoyed the trip immensely. I enjoyed interactions with the everyone on the trip, the opportunity to explore and learn new things, and last, but not the least, driving a capable car through a beautiful terrain. All of this was possible THANKS TO (in no particular order): EVERYONE being such great companions. I do not remember when I felt so comfortable within a seemingly disparate group of people with different background, occupations, and views. This is priceless! Miles and Johann test driving the route before leading everyone on this great adventure. Miles sharing his knowledge about the history of the place, and most importantly, liberally spreading his highly contagious enthusiasm for it. Will providing his five star shower facility. Jeff being such a great company, making eggs and bacon for the “last” breakfast, and driving me for 3 hours to Barstow and back to get the ignition coil. One of the few things we agreed on in terms of public policy was the harsher punishment for auto parts store clerks that sell you a wrong part. Miles and Andrew sticking with me on a slow drive to Barstow (me driving on 7 out of 8 cylinders), where I finally got the correct coil. —————————————————————————————— I uploaded photos and videos to the google photos. The photos are mostly similar to the better versions taken by people who know how to do it better, although look for the apple cobbler sharing the shot with Miles. The videos from the mines might be interesting to those who chose not to crawl in. I showed them to my kids and was told that (1) “You are all crazy to have gone into the mines”; (2) “You have to take us with you the next time you go”. Thank you all for the wonderful trip and hope to do this again. In the meantime, hope to see you at whatever next outing I can come to.
