Where: Mojave Road (Mohave Trail for the true OGs in this group who predate Statehood) starting at the Arizona border.
Who: Me, my wife, my Tacoma (4x4 6MT), her JL Wrangler (4x4 6MT)
The Deal: I've never done this trip before, or even gone more than 50-60ish miles offroad in one shot. It looks simple enough, I have like 3 different GPS software with offline maps downloaded, Jerry cans, water cans, spare tires, tools, recovery straps, and traction boards (from Costco, so if they don't work I'm returning them), homemade ammo can fire pit (think of tacticool pits, but mine is tactitoocool), plenty of propane, blah blah blah. I feel properly geared up.
The Question: Is November the "right" time to do this trip? Has anyone run into big issues doing this from Arizona heading back into California? What are some tips and pointers for at least a 2-vehicle caravan?
