A Busy Time on The Road

Once spring arrives with its mild weather, traffic on the Mojave Road increases. When you're in the area, you start to notice more and more caravans passing through. We also notice more postings on blogs and forums, as people share their experiences and photos when they return home. This report, with lots of great photos, is from a Land Rover trip taken last weekend, April 3-5.

What you might encounter along the way...

We ran across this blog with some wonderful photos of the smaller creatures you are likely to encounter if you make stops on your journey along the Mojave Road.

No matter how many times you may have read about an adventure, there's nothing like firsthand experience to truly understand what it's all about. Even though I've enjoyed trips to the desert since the mid '80s and consider myself somewhat of a desert rat, I had yet to travel the Mojave Road until recently.
