SoCalRattlinRams and Carli Suspension is having their first annual Mojave Road trip. We will be starting in Barstow on Dec. 29 and will arrive in Laughlin on Dec.30. We are planning on celebrating the new year in Laughlin for those who wish to stay. This trip is open for anyone who wishes to join us and we feel the more the merrier. Although stock trucks should be able to make the trip, suspension upgrades and tires are recommended.
The Mojave Road was a main wagon trail for only a relatively short time, two decades after the civil war, when the railroads came, as the railways created an easier route to the south complete with oases on the bitter-dry deserts. While it was used, the Mojave Road was a route plagued by hostile Indians, a lack of water, long stretches of sand and rough hill climbs. For caravans of travelers and a handful of soldiers, it was a proving ground that brought out the best and the worst of them. This trail is unique in that for most of this 138 mile stretch it is in much the same condition as the pioneers would have found it, and a lot of the trail passes through country that is virtually unchanged since prehistoric times. The road bisects the Preserve, wandering from waterhole to waterhole, and is mostly a 4-wheel-drive trail.
More info willbe posted here as it becomes available.
