Just filled out my forms for the National Park Special Use Permit and paid for it......get it out of the way early, so I'm not stressed sending it in late! LOL!
We will be going from East to West...in other word.....following the Mojave Road from start to finish!!! :driving:
I'll add more info as we go along here..... Add these dates to your calender!!!!
EDIT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We will meet at the Smiths Food King in Fort Mohave, AZ......just across the bridge from the Avi hotel outside of Laughlin, NV.
Those of you coming from SoCal or NorCal might want to get a room at the Avi Hotel for Thursday night.....VS driving all night and then again all day!!
