    Since this is such a large group, is anyone selling anything? I'm looking for an LED light to mount in the rear of my truck to act as a flood/spot light to use for setting up camp in the dark and to also use as a super dust light since the amber light isn't always strong enough with the thick dust.

    I suggest the rigid duallies, I have one clear and one with the amber lens cover which is removable if more light is needed. Works for me. Just gotta find you some..

    We can meet at the Arco gas station off the 15 fwy and Sierra. We'll figure out a time during that week.

    The Ridgid lights are nice but I don't want to spend that much money on lights. I'm looking for some chinese LED's.

    I think I have all of our coordinates finally figured out. Bring your cameras!

    Friday
    Leave the Avi Hotel into the desert
    Fort Piute
    Penny Can
    Rock Spring
    Government Holes, site of some famous gun fight
    Hole-in-the-Wall camp for the night
    Possibly a night run depending on the time we eat dinner and get settled

    Saturday
    Vulcan Mine- a lot of walking and exploring
    Kelso Dunes
    Kelso Depot
    Beal Mountain to camp for the night

    Sunday
    -
    Marl Springs
    Mojave Mailbox
    Lava Tubes
    Surprise????????- more walking and exploring
    Soda Lake, Travelers Monument
    Head into Afton Canyon and explore depending on time - predicting stuck 2wd's due to the enormous amount of soft sand

    Damn, I'm tired just writing all of this.

    For those that are taking cameras, race radios or anything that needs to get recharged, I suggest buy an AC/DC inverter. I have one and I use it all the time in the desert. I have the kind that plug into the cig lighter and it works great. They sell from $35-$45 and Harbor Freight sells one for $20.

    I honestly can't give you a time because coming home always takes longer than expected plus major Sunday Vegas traffic. I think the latest we got to barstow was 6pm but then we air up, gas up and sit in traffic and get down the cajon pass around 8pm. I prefer to be in barstow by 4pm but sometimes that's hard to do.
