Tour de Mojave Video
Just thought I'd share a little video compilation of my time in the desert this spring; aptly titled a Tour of Mojave. We buggied on several of the
notable dry lakes in the California / Nevada Mojave desert area. We flew
@ El Mirage, something unnamed, and Ivanpah, while visiting Harper's, Jean and everything in between. I enjoyed parts of all of the dry lakes, each
showcasing something slightly different. I certainly enjoyed the warmer weather as the week wore on -- yes indeed deserts can be cold too!
The video shows off some classic arcs, a phantom 1 and an f-arc we had some fun flying. The video wasn't taken with dedicated camera's, but I think
you'll still find it enjoyable ;-)

pbc notes he's never gone so fast sideways in a buggy before, and I can attest to that fact. But you'll have to watch the video :-)

soliver, bah, copyright notice. I'll try and upload a version with a different musical selection that won't have this issue :-)

@soliver @markite I avoided posting this because it sucks, but as of now neither myself, nor pbc will be @ JIBE :-( Philip canceled the campsite a
couple days ago in light of the circumstances.
Work has sort of crept in and caused some mayhem, amongst other things. The plans sort of fell apart. I was ok with it until I read your responses..
You have me calculating a way to get up there somehow, but it's hard. And I'm leaving the country next weekend as if I needed more complications, so
Friday/Saturday are already out.
