Mojave Desert 2002

This year the annual trek from Texas to the high desert of California was made by Patman Hall, Rob Cook, Pat Burroughs, and Cindy Gross. We participated in the AMA District 37 Jackrabbit's Hare and Hound on January 13, 2002. During practice and the race we tackled hills, whoops, bushes (sometimes literally), high speed rough sections, and much more.  The gravelly sand was anywhere from a few millimeters deep to several inches deep in the sand washes. All in all it was great fun!
