Mojave Road, 31 December 1995, Morning, Right Fork

    (photographs cited left to right, top to bottom)
    The right fork proved to be a lot more challenging (and damaging for the SIII) then the left one. Gerry wisely left his Disco behind a hundred feet or so before the first photo was taken.
    • Rick went first and just below here stoped to engage his lockers. Ben was second and finally made it after a few attempts. [JB]
    • Lynn, wisely, took another line and made it look easy. [JB]
    • A little further up the SIII had some problems with soft earth so the sand ladders were used. [RL]

      The trail had a loose section just around the bend (behind the D90) where the SIII needed to use the sand ladders, but then the trail got easier. Jim at the wheel this time. [BS]
    • Jim almost at the mine, but just before a large patch of ice. [BS]
    • The mine (opening on the left). Rovers pose in the bruised (black and blue) pattern. [JB for LK,JH]

    • Another shot at the mine (with all of us in the photo). [RL]
    • On the way down Ben got hung up on both diffs, necessitating the use of a winch. Yet another toy (I mean tool) that got used. [LK,JH]
    • Jan moves a rock while Lynn's D90 holds the SIII via the winch cable.[RL]
