Dear Desertnauts

a very short briefing for tomorrow's drive.

The goal is to go back and forth from Badayer to 2nd December Cafateria, with the twofold purpose of 1) exploring the lesser driven northern and southern segments of this area, and 2) to spend some time in the taller dunes visible on both sides of @2December usual entry point. We'll start at Badayer, on the side of Big Red, where we'll return to enjoy the sunset at the end of the drive. 

The convoy order at the moment is the following:

@Thomas54675 in Second Lead

@Jerome at #3

@Noufal at #4

@Hartzel at #5

@Carl Stanley at #6 and 

@J-P L in Sweep.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for the start of the weekend.

Hello @Ale Vallecchi, I am still not sure if I can make it tomorrow. I have a job in Margham which is nearby only. I am hoping that there would be no hiccups and finish it on the first half and join the drive in the afternoon. In case i am unable to make it, i will message here by lunch. Thanks.
