Mojave Road Day 4: Afton Canyon, Water Crossing, Mojave River Floodplain

Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #269

My friends Larry, Jessica, Myron and I set off to travel the length of the famous Mojave Road -- an epic off-road trail that basically runs for 133 miles from Needles to Barstow, right through the most desolate part of the Mojave Desert! This road follows an ancient Indian path that was later used by pioneer wagon trains -- so you never know WHAT you'll find on the trail.

In part 4 of 4, we continue through the sand dunes past Rasor Road and head into Afton Canyon...one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, but totally off most peoples' radar! It starts to rain, but we continue on anyway to the infamous water crossing, where the Mojave Road crosses the Mojave River (yes, there is a river in the desert!). The water looks pretty high, and I'm not sure we should attempt crossing it -- at this point we have traveled over 100 miles of the total distance, and we REALLY don't want to turn back...but we also don't want to blow out our engines! Since he has a snorkel on his rig, Myron agrees to try it, and see how it goes.....YIKES!!!
