the Grasscat is the Navigator for this trip. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> OK... OK... I hope that one way or another, we will not miss the important travelers monument in the middle of the lake. This monument was left for us by the 19-century travelers, with historically correct authentic message plaque in the center. The content of this message is the shared secret among the Mojave Road visitors (so I cannot post it here, you have to see the message in person). I've seen this message twice, and the words are still burning in my inflamed brain... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.geocities.com/olegmoskalenko/mojave2007/59190009.jpg)

Sounds like a couple of people will be there and maybe we can meet for dinner and a few brews.
Anyone up for dinner on Friday in Laughlin??? John, if all goes well I'll be down there around 6-7pm. I'll keep in touch by text message so you'll know my ETA. I'll try to aim for 6pm.

I am on track to be in Laughin about 6 pm Friday.
There is a change on vehicles. I will be driving my Dodge instead of the Jeep. There are more things to do than I have time for....

OK... OK... I hope that one way or another, we will not miss the important travelers monument in the middle of the lake. Not to worry, we won't miss it. I have good waypoints. I think. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The road does change. It all depends on the river and the wind, but that's after the monument. I plan to start the trip at the river, for those folks who want a river rock for the monument. Also you'll need to bring a small trinket for the "mail box" and maybe a frog. Did you read the book? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It all depends on the river and the wind, but that's after the monument. Mike, you are correct that the road changes in some places. But the Soda Lake traverse is pretty stable. The way through the lake is marked by the large poles. I would not deviate from the poles - it may be dangerous. The mud is not deep but it is very slippery - more slippery than ice, in some places you cannot even walk. I've never seen such a substance anywhere else. I was there in 2004 and 2007, and the road was the same.
I plan to start the trip at the river, for those folks who want a river rock for the monument.
If somebody would bring a dolly or an off-road trailer, we would be able to haul a really large rock for the monument <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Or we can just drug it behind on a rope <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Also you'll need to bring a small trinket for the "mail box" and maybe a frog. Did you read the book? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Yes, I did read "the book". I'll figure something out.

As it turns out I won't be leaving the Bay Area until Saturday morning, meeting up with the group Saturday evening.
Where will the group camp Saturday evening, I heard Caruthers Canyon, is this correct?
Does anyone have the GPS coordiantes of the campground?
Thanks.
