That's the crazy thing about off-roading, you think you're really hauling but when you sit down and do the math it works out differently. It's wild seeing stats for like first place Trophy Trucks and their average speed for the race is in the mid 40mph range. Anyway.

To be honest, I don't know where my camera is right now, but as soon as I find it I'll throw up the pics I have of your rock. Thanks for all the pics guys, it helps when trying to explain what I possibly could have done for a week in the desert.

Did you run down an xterra?

Based on this...
We scouted out the lava beds and started down Willow Wash. We almost got creamed by three pick-ups and a jeep high tailing out of the east. I managed to just barely get out of their way. About another mile down the road and I came to cross roads and an old mine and ranch site. We went to take some pictures ... and I smelled smoke. Looking at the camp site the four speeders had just left I found a nice big camp fire still going full blast - in the wind no less. It took 3.5 gallons of water to put the thing out and a bunch of sand too. Dang is the world full of idiots - second good deed of the trip done.
it was somebody else...Jason, Kevin, Jon and Brian were going from nv to barstow direct no campfires...

As cool as it would be to have been us, wasn't, and I can tell you why with 100% certainty. Reading their story they passed the "speedsters" in the section between Kelbaker Road and Cima Road, which we skipped on Saturday taking Cima Road into Kelso then up Kelbaker and resuming the trail there. Thus why we never saw any Xterra's.
