You can't see the thread on expedition portal unless you are registered.
Can you share the details with us so that those interested can RSVP from here?

For those that don't know, Dennis Casebier is, literally, the guy that wrote "the book" on the Mojave Road.
Google "Mojave Road Guide - An Adventure Through Time" by Dennis G. Casebier if you are curious.

Sorry, didn't know that was one of the private threads. Here is the content of the post on ExPo:

I think that the best time to run the Mojave is in the late spring. The trail is at an elevation of 3000 to 4000 feet so the nights can get pretty cold. The desert is lit up with flowers from late April through May.
