typical trail conditions; not much to stress the Tacos on this run but it is a fun ride if you enjoy the wide open Mojave desert and it's local history.

the soft powder just East of Soda Lake, air down territory:

deep powder, 16-20 inches deep in spots, depending on the previous weeks weather conditions.. it was only a concern for the first 50 yards or so, then it was just fun!

The only snafu in 3 days was a bead buster Duratrac. No biggie, it provided an opportunity to test the recovery gear..

I bet that crossing is a little tougher after these rains! The Soda Lake should be a mud mess too.

Stock should be fine, I would recommend getting better tires like some all terrains or something.
