Awesome people. Awesome trip. Thank you all.

I just got home which means the trip is over
. Actually, I know many members are still on the road as I write this and I wish them safe travels home. I want to thank everyone that attended this epic INTERNATIONAL adventure. I hope you all had as good a time as I did.
It truly was an adventure; including a major breakdown that halted us for quite awhile on the dark trail. I'm truly impressed how those that could help did so by either being hands on or offering their spare parts and those of us that couldn't help, stayed positive. One member left camp Friday at midnight, arriving in town at 3:17 am, and returned Saturday morning on a quest looking for bunnies...I mean parts.
We had great campfires, I don't think any ended before 2:00 am, and great times.
I'm confident in saying that our newbies are now experienced off roaders, although I don't think they'll believe me when I say a trail is easy.
Two ambassador coins were handed out. Kelly for being the go to guy and Dale for his positive attitude dealing with his rig breakdown. Congrats guys, well deserved. I'm proud to call you both my friends as well as everyone else there.
On this trip I did learn that a well built expo rig can compete in the Baja 1000 with Timmy's wife behind the wheel. I also learned that Grandma loves trekking with this crew and she hated parting ways at the end.
Again thanks to all of you, it was a team effort that made this a great weekend and the team rocked.
I'll close this with some words of wisdom;
"Left turn at the orange cone."
( my apologies to those not there and won't understand some of this)
Always a thank you to @Michael and @Corrie. Without the two of you this weekend would not have happened.

Thanks for the vicarious trip! What great attitudes! Had hoped to be a part of it, but looking forward to us someday joining what sounds like a great group of people. Hoping we can be part of the Mojave Trail trip in March and getting to know another group of great people.
Wow. What an awesome summary. Just got home. Still need to unpack. And maybe start the data dump..... amazing trip. Awesome people and just an adventure. This trip was one for the books. Thank you bob for putting it together.I just got home which means the trip is over

Definitely agree with everyone... This trip was awesome, so much diversity in the terrain covered and so many great experiences. From the tunnel to the racetrack all around a fun time! Can't wait to get back out there with this group again and crush a new place.

This was such a fun trip. Rad people. Awesome weekend everyone! I'm still sifting through hundreds of pictures, but too tired to post tonight.
Wouldn't have wanted to spend veterans day weekend doing anything else. A big thanks to all of you. Can't wait to get out and see you all again. Photos to come.
