Unexpected Snow Along the Mojave Road
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We had been planning this Mojave Road overland trip for several months and we would have never imagined we would get hit with a snow storm along the way. We spent 4 days and 3 nights along this historic trail exploring the interesting geological structures, historical landmarks and quickly man made relics.... it was truly and unforgettable adventure! #mojavetrail #jeepwrangler #overlanding

My wife and I are researching overlanding and extended camping off-road. This is one of the channels that we’re gathering a wealth of knowledge from. I can only hope that when we finally take the plunge and begin outfitting a rig that we find people even half as cool as you to share some trips with. Great channel. Great info. Keep up the awesome work.

Man you make me want another jeep I was 16 years old in 1975 I bought a new 1975 jeep Renegade canary yellow with black stripes it was all metal no plastic it would go anywhere total cost $ 5.800 dollars what I would give to have it back I have a 2019 jeep Cherokee now but nothing like the old one watching these videos really making me want a Rubicon thanks for sharing these awesome videos.

Brad, just an awesome video, the scenery shots are incredible. Hard to image snow on (or just off) the Mojave Trail. The last time I was on the Mojave Trail I had to put up with wind and heat. Marco's fish tacos looked great, he really needs to think about putting out a skottle cook book.
As a mexican I approve of those tacos The beer batter looked pretty good I can only imagine how good they were
Thanks for showing that trip. I used to travel the Mojave Road probably once a year but the last time was about 30 years ago. It doesn't appear to have changed much. I never made it across the dry lake as back then it usually wasn't dry.

It's called lapse rate. Generally speaking -3.5F for every 1,000ft gained is the accepted number but it techically varies with moisture content in the air. Dry air will see a larger drop of up to around 5.4F+- while moist air will see less of a drop at around 2.7+-. It's just easier to say -3F drop per 1,000.

I just returned from Mojave last night, (4 days- Balancing Rock to the Water Crossing) and had to watch this video again. What a great experience Mojave Road was. Thanks for the tips on making it such a successful trip. The camp in the New York Mountains was definitely the best of the 4 camps I stayed at. Balancing Rock was a close second. I missed the Rock House somehow, but managed to see everything else and more. I even saw Marco’s rock on the monument, still near the top. The crossing was deep, (About half way up the doors) and a little made its way into the cab, but It was dry by the time I got home. My Jeep did extremely well, and luckily suffered no trail damage. I’ve got to say, that was one of the best trips I’ve been on. Thanks again! OIIIIIIIO
Dang it now I'm gonna have to go to the monument in my stock ass jeep just to see what the plaque says
In case it hasn't been mentioned b4, you would be shocked at how much better a campfire would be if you would tote along a washing machine drum. Put it up on several football sized rocks. The wood burns much more efficiently, slower, the heat retention will amaze everyone. You will burn so much less wood and the warmth that radiates in all directions will blow you away. The steel of the drum heats up and radiates a tremendous amount of heat. The rocks provide a taller heat blanket as well as providing air flow and also heat up and radiate heat. Try it once and you will never go back to pit campfires again. I realize space is limited with your rvs but this you WILL make room for. Regular campfires loose more heat than they radiate.

I had a '95 xj on 30s. A buddy had an '03 tj on '31s. While he was getting stuck, I was walking all over everything. I have a YJ now but I'm looking for another xj to build for this type of stuff. In other words, I guarantee it'll do fine. Just get a good set of all terrains (bfg ko2s or the like) instead of these SUV tires alot of people get, and you'll be alright
You traveled 117.5 miles to donate a ROCK ?
Great trip thanks for taking me along!
My son's and I went to Las Vegas for the week between Christmas and New Years day, 2011 - 2016. Mojave on Christmas Day. Oh My, on the East northern side, in the rocks and washes, during a 1" storm was one of the very special Wrangler drives in my lifetime. Christmas Day 2016.

I used a little over 3/4 of a tank. I brought and extra 3 gallons and added it... it's a good idea just in case.

The Wrangler's are garbage for off road for reliability, it's either older Nissan Patrol or Toyota Land cruiser are used for 4wd in Australia.

Awesome vid....great group of people having a blast in the Mohave
Does Marco have some sort of Trail Cookbook or something out there?! Every time I watch one of your videos, it's always exciting not just to see what scenery you've surrounded yourself with, but what delicious meals he's got planned for the crew!
Great group of people having fun.love it!
Amazing adventure and awesome work capturing the trip on video. Jeepin and camping on the Mojave Road is definitely on my bucket list now. Thanks for sharing!
I just watched this video with my son. He loved it. Great quality!
Man, I don't even own a Jeep but I love your videos! How cool! Thanks for sharing! Great editing! Beautiful country!
