Off-Road Travel: Mojave National Preserve Part I
You might enjoy this Off-Road.com article posted in December about a trip on the Mojave Road, with photos. They took a few short side trips to see additional sights often visited by those traveling the Road.

Mojave Road in the 90s
We received this note and photos from Karl Vogeley and he graciously gave us permission to share with everyone. Great images of the adventures to be had on the Mojave Road. Thanks, Karl!
Attached are some photos from my first trip on the Mojave Road in the early 90s. My daughter who is in the pictures is now 30 so you can see how long ago this was! I'm guessing 1991 but somewhere around that time. The green Suzuki was our ride for the trip and did great. The crosssing at Soda Lake was very difficult but the Samurai motored right through no problem. This was the era when nothing was fenced off or made off limits. On this trip we encountered a group on quads, rifles in scabbards. The days of high adventure! This trip was done with a group of off-roaders from the Sierra club. I can't imagine such a group existing today in this polarized society.
I've made the trip 3 times since then, once more in the Suzuki, once in a 98 Wrangler, and most recently in an 08 Wrangler unlimited Rubicon with air conditioning and satellite radio. In some regards progress can be nice! I included a picture of my Jeep from the latest trip to demonstrate that as I have gotten older my desire for comfort has grown!
Happy holidays,
Karl Vogeley

Marl Springs
Thanks to all the talented people who are sharing their stories and photos online these days, you no longer have to get in your vehicle to visit many of the sights along the Mojave Road (although we still encourage you to see them in person too!). Our latest find is on the DZRTGRLS Web site. They have provided an informative write-up and great photos of a visit to Marl Springs. Be sure to click the link to view all of the photos and captions.
Thank you, Niki and Jamie, for allowing us to share your adventure here.
Happy travels!
