The Surface is dry mud. Fairly hard, my wheels did not break the surface with the land yacht or the Jeep. Most fun I have had with my nickers on!

A million in one shot. A model rocket was launched but the parachute did not work - the rocket came smack dab on my bike wheel. Very close call. We don't even want to think of what would happen if that rocket were closer by one foot. Keep in mind that the rocket went up close to a mile....

It took 7 hours from Santa Rosa...well worth the drive. I thought about stopping at Misfit Flats near Reno, but I didn't have the energy to work that in.
You gotta try the BlackRock if you get the chance.
