We went on our first overland trip this past weekend on the Mojave Road trail. We had 12 vehicles in our group- 4 Jeeps, 3 Toyotas, 2 blazers, and 3 full size trucks. All were able to complete the trail with no issues. We stayed in Laughlin Thursday night and headed out Friday morning. We started at the river just north of the Avi. The ruins of the old Fort Mohave are on the other side of the river.
We headed out and took a break after crossing the 95 for a drink and to fix a small issue on a truck.
The next stop on the trip was Fort Piute where we saw old ruins and had lunch.
We went about 50 miles the first day. @Riley1 and I had done a bunch of research before the trip and we decided on a campground about 8 miles off the trail. The campsite was great, but it was at an elevation of about 5900' so it was extremely cold and also windy. So much so, that we had 3 vehicles turn off and head back home the next day.
