Are you gonna make your new flat pic your profile pic or are you keeping the south lake run flat as it?

Every Raptor owner should do the Mojave Road trail...at least once!

You're lucky you didn't get stuck out there on Soda Dry Lake after it had rained. Anyone going out there should know two things (besides the risk of running it after it rains)...


(1) First, the center of Soda Dry Lake can become extremely difficult if damp and impassable if outright wet. After it rains deep, heavy and corrosive mud crops up at the lake bed’s center. If you have any doubts, take the by-pass up to the 5.

(2) Please also bear in mind that the trail across the lake bed passes through a very narrow corridor in a wilderness preserve. Do not deviate from the obvious tracks leading across the lake bed or you will be driving in the preserve and risking future access for everyone else.

Yep, couldn't agree more. It wasn't a wise choice and I accept that.
