Action Plan:  Fifth and last installment of the Desert Books Series, the drive is dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupery's masterpiece "The Little Prince". Here the desert symbolizes the narrator's mind. Made barren by grown-up ideas, the narrator's mind slowly expands under the guidance of the little prince in the same way that the deadly desert slowly transforms itself into a place of learning and, once the well appears, refreshment. 

As one of the book's protagonists, besides the desert, is The Fox, the track chosen for this drive will take us all the way from Sweihan's entry, through its Pond, to the "Fox's Den, two-thirds of the way to Faya's exit point. The drive will be a bit long, but not too tricky, so feel free to bring guests, with whom to share the pleasure of the desert, and the sun setting on the last ridge of dunes.

As usual in this series, in trying to distil the best of the book and to build up to the day of the drive, I'll post a book's quote each day. 

Let's try to find inspiration in this Desert Books' Series to truly appreciate our interaction with our favorite element of nature. 

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face masks, rubber gloves, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 7:30 PM

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.
