Mojave Road trail a epic ~ 140 mile Xcursion through time & terrain.

Photos from day 3 from the Mail Box to Afton canyon campground as the elevation changed from 4,500' to below sea level.

Enjoy these for now :-) more to follow of the ~14 trucks that participated in this 3 day Xcursion and all the interesting sites that were enjoyed such as the Piute fort, prehistoric Indian art , Mitchell Caverns, Kelso Depot & San dunes , Hole-in-the-wall, mines, etc.

BTW X_tempore came up with the XOC placement & Geocache, in case you missed it click here for a closer up view.

Nice Pics

No fair! You guys have such wonderful environs to wander around in! Damnit, why am I in NY! Argh.

Awesome pix!

signed, "wish I was there."

Xcellent pics dude! Did you see my crappy attempts under the SCCX X-28 thread?

Very nice pics. I need to get a digital camera and a new host so I have more than 10 megs of web space.

Wow, looks like a fun trip. I'm jealous.

Et all,

We’re fortunate to have all those great National Parks, Monuments, trails, areas, etc..to Xplore in our great country It’s my pleasure to share the Xperiences and I hope y’all can take the opportunities to visit them sometime. We always welcome guests any time you’re in the vicinity, Blue Jay from NCCX joined us again for this one as did a number of member friends.

Xterrian,

Hey it’s the “thought” that counts and you made the best of what you have, so that’s by me. What’s did you use anyway, looks kind of like a capture from a video camera or something?

My digital video captures look a lot better than that. I left the video camera at home and took the old Olympus Dimage V. I took them all in 640 X 480 to save card space. I never thought about the fact that I was carrying a 30 GB hard drive that I could use to download the camera's card each night. I was so busy checking out the cool moving cursor on my LCD that it never occured to me that the computer could be used for other purposes.

Great pictures, and look like tons of fun, wish we had that in Jersey.

You mean Minolta?

You're right. I do have an Olympus, but it's an old 35mm OM-10. I got confused a bit 'cause I now think of both of them as, "the old camera".
