Love the pic :)

No, but I did manage to beach the car in the bog/mud and had to visit the local rang to get ropes to pull it out. Oh and we got lost driving around in bushes. All in a days fun!

It has a crazy gravel road that runs the course of it - naturally we blasted the car down it +70 mph with the camera mounted on the side of the car :)

Theres a lake not far from the flat (Mann Lake?) and we camped there. Totally deserted. I did take the bikes but didn�t do any riding, was to busy messing around on the flats.

I�d like to go back with a WRX or something ;)

Hey All,

Totally off topic and not really much to do with OBRA but wondered if anyone had been down to Alvord Desert?

Camped there for a couple of nights a couple of weeks ago. Interesting place!

Took a couple of shots of course!
