JeromeFJ Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Dear Desert Drivers, For Saturday morning, the plan is to explore from Nahel, the portion of desert close to the E20, going West in the direction of Sweihan. Depending on what we find and how we progress, we will either continue this line to exit to the E16, or enter more inside crossing a sabkha to reach higher dunes. We still have 2 drivers in Waitlist, so please double check your schedule and remove your RSVP in time to avoid empty spots. I will issue the final list and convoy order by the end of the afternoon tomorrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
