On a beautiful weekend in mid-March 2009, my 7 year old daughter Megan and I (along with a small group from MJR) took our Land Rover LR3 on the famous Old Mojave Road. Using Dennis Casebier’s wonderful and educational trail guide, we set out on our grand adventure. Unlike most modern trail books, this one purposefully does not use GPS coordinates. Instead, this book navigates you through history, referencing key landmarks and a system of rock cairns along the trail to lead the way. I loved it! for a full write up of our trip, visit: http://blog.nextstepdesigns.com/?p=84 http://nwoods.smugmug.com/Land-Rover/Off-Roading/Mojave-Trail-2009/MojaveTrail-20090315-82/498544925_AFEjp-Ti.jpg http://nwoods.smugmug.com/gallery/7715064_hDhRy/ 2009-03-24T16:17:22Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
