Jeeps and dirt - Away from home a few days!!


I led a group of Jeeps through the Old Dale Mining District on 1/17/16. Some 300 mining claims were set up in this area to search for gold. Some struck it rich, but many went home poor. Our group of Jeep-poor made the trek, however. We found fun under a bright, sunny sky. The weather was picture-perfect (as you'll see in this video). Tell me what you think! Similar weather to what you find in Baja - in and around the Joshua Tree National Park. :bounce:

Very cool... Ken Cooke is Mr. Jeep here on Nomad.
Love the Pink Floyd and Wild Thing music! Good editing!
You can see who doesn't have lockers or traction control on by the tires spinning (Cherokee, Chevy, Ken, YJ, etc.)... shame shame! LOL

Keep on Four Wheelin'!

That first climb up '3-wheel rock' was with my rear lockers. At the top of the rock, I started sliding backwards, and hit the front lockers - up and over. That is a slippery section of trail! :cool:
