PART FOUR
Homesteaders came - and some of the first automobiles tried "The Road." The conditions were almost impossible - including this snowstorm in the early 20's! They tried ranching and farming with little success. Most claims that were established were eventually abandoned.

PART FIVE
Several booming cattle operations were eventually established and FLOURISHED from just after WWII until the Clinton administration put an end to it. The corral behind these cowboys is still standing - and we'll drive right past it!

PART SIX
As more and more uses were restricted, the road died. It was rediscoverd as a recreational trail as off-roading began to grow in popularity in the late 60's and early 70's. Though those on the left would like to throw all vehicles out and preserve this land so that future generations can't enjoy it either it is, for the time being, open for travel. Whoops - this guy is STUCK!

PART SEVEN
As far as I know, there has never been such a caravan of HUMMERS as we are going to take across The Road in two weeks. WE will write the next - but hopefully not the FINAL chapter in the history of The Mojave Road. And Feinstein and Boxer can go straight to hell.

Hey Albie!
Sent you a couple emails about this recently (maybe to the Yahoo account, don't remember). One more email headed your way later today after I scout the Saturday morning meeting location.
You coming with us?
Edit: To be clear, we are at our target cap of 15 so if you want to go, you're on the wait list. That'll teach you to check your email!

You're at the Bun Boy? Any bugs?

Well aren't we both being productive with our rigs today! Sounds like I'm having a little more luck. I cut down and rounded off the plates and got everything a lovely shade of black on my HiLift mount.
Thanks again to PhilD - his design! It's easy (if I can do it, anyone can) and solid as a rock! Makes a great first step up to the Gobi ladder! All I'm missing now is the handle keeper - and that should be here tomorrow or Tues.
