Took my new Mojave to the desert to hang with a few friends from the south. I live on Boise and don’t like the snow so I bought the Jeep and installed a tow bar over Christmas so I could head south for a few days. We hung out around Dumont which is a little south of Death Valley.

Went to the veterans memorial, I did air my tires down to around 15 psi and I ran low range with the shifter in manual mode as it wouldn’t keep the rpms up like I would have liked in drive.

Found the North Pole marker at the edge of the OHV area. I did run a flag to be legal, mounted to the Jeep cargo rails on a tab I made before I left

The race area was pretty busy on New Years and a few people let off fireworks at midnight

Checked out salt springs area towards baker Ca, lots of old mining remnants and holes in the ground from late 1800’s, most have cages to keep people out

“Run a flag to be legal”

What does that mean?

Nice JT and nice Coach! I drove through the Mojave desert at night in a rental GMC about 2 years ago. Went from Joshua Tree to Vegas. I’d love to go back out there in a Jeep at some point. Glad you’re out there having fun!
