Looking forward to next years clean up.

I had to leave before the BBQ, my wife was sick so I went home. I had a good time, best part was the night run, awesome. Now I want to hook up some rock lights. See everyone on the next run.

What a beautiful day with the sun shining bright and Jeeps of almost every model, many different types of Toyotas, Broncos, Mogs, H1’s, etc, etc. It was one of the coolest varieties of off road vehicles I have ever seen in one place. There was a great selection of raffle prizes, free food, vendor displays, an RTI ramp and cool stuff to see at the Desert Discovery center in Barstow which was the staging area for the event.
LOST JEEPS had six vehicles in attendance w/ 10 people. What a great day! Here are some pics.












Only a small portion of what our group cleaned up in one small area.

Some RTI Ramp pics:



Even Nolan got in on it in the KJ.

The LOST JEEPS folks went and checked out a little of the Calico wheeling areas afterward:

Another great event and a wonderful MJR turnout! As mentioned above, we had 34 MJR rigs in attendance. We all headed up north of Calico peak to clean up a remote area trashed by shooters. We completed the task and headed back to staging for lunch, a self-guided tour of the Discovery Center and the raffle. While waiting for the raffle to begin, a few of us met with Rose from the BLM who pointed out a couple of interesting places to visit in the Calico area, including the 'end of the world' and a spring not far from Odessa Trail. We will surely have to factor those in to the IDTT 08!

It was great to see everyone again - it's been a long winter! For those of you whom Rick and I were able to meet and chat with a bit, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to seeing you again soon! For those of you (like 50YJ), we tried and tried but just couldn't be in the right place at the right time. We headed back to camp and stayed until the night run. Yeah, we're wussies, but there's nothing like your own warm bed when it's 35° out.

Thanks again to everyone for coming out to represent MJR. You guys and gals rock!

Just rolled in from the road and have a minute to post the first of 200+ pics. The rest will be up at photbucket tomorrow. Had a great time as usual, lots of MJR rock heads there. Did some cleaning, some night runs, and found lots of dead ends...
Ya'all know who you are, you made the trip worth every minute.






ERIK on Odessa


Home sweet home






13 yeear old Cody driving the Rat Patrol up Doran. This kid will put some of us olders to shame!

I took alot of these photos standing up in the paasenger seat while Cody drove

Anyone want a taco?


I didn't take any pics of the clean up because I drove Roger around to video the event. He'll have to put up what he has.

I'll get the rest of my stuff up at the bucket tomorrow. I'm going home to a HOT shower...
