Ray Hyland
Expedition Leader
So there we were, sitting outside the Overland house in Vegas, it was a sunny and cool Saturday morning, the excitement of Sema was just wearing down, and there were some very cool expedition vehicles sitting next to the curb.
We had a choice:
We could jump in the trucks, put the hammer down, and be back in Prescott by lunchtime, or
We could toss some camping gear in the back of these vehicles and spend a night in the desert on the way back.
The downside? Snow. Lots of snow forecast between where we were and where we were going, and silly us, we didn't pack a bunch of snow gear for a week in Las Vegas.
Luckily a bunch of the guys knew the area really well (not me, I still have no idea where we were, although I recall a very large ditch on Sunday morning, more on that later), so they mapped out a route that should be fun, and not too snowy.
Cast of Characters included Mario from AT, Mucki (Pronounced Mooki) from Action Camper, Paul from Equipt, Jess from Eezi-Awn, and yours truly, Ray from Expedition Portal and Overland Journal.
So without further ado, here are the pics of our foray into the wilderness.
