Cindy and I absolutely love Daylight Savings and to help kick off all the wonderful daylight we now have again, we decided to head out to the Mojave Desert and do some camping. Of course, being that this was an easy trip and St. Patricks Day was on Sunday and we had plenty of carbombs to go around, I suppose in a way it was in a way, a mini-Shamrocked :crazyeyes: Here are some pics from our trip - I hope you enjoy :cool:

Wee hours of the morning heading out to our meet up point...

Awesome trip Eddie and Cindy I was happy that I went on this one and hope to go on many more with yall!! :beer: Thanks again for a great trip. :wings:
 
great trip!

Thanks for having us; we had a blast. The scenery and sight seeing was very cool. And lets not forget the loss of our American Honey virginity: which lead us to a jolly good fire jumpin' staggering "dance" party. ;-D

Cheers to more hours of light, and to many more adventures ahead!!

Love,

Drea & Dan
 
Looks like a great trip. Have you guys considered tracking the trip in GPS and posting the .gpx file online for others to follow your path?
 
Wow great photos and what a fun group of folks to spend a weekend with. I'm sad I could t make it, but the upside I did pickup my JKUR Sunday morning. 👍
