For Area 53 drive which is favorite spot among off roaders, expect lot of crowd at meeting point. So kindly line up one behind other without blocking the access to others and look for pedestrian's /kids walking across as you arrive.

1. Expect churned tracks , but we will take a route as clean as possible

3. Keep safe distance, avoid fighting gravity at all times

Thanks to everyone joined drive today. Nice and smooth experiens. Maybe this was not fastest drive, but very technical. Thanks to our leads and supports @Chaitanya D, @Looper, @DP1011 , and sorry if missed someone. Nice recovering experiens, and Camel visitors. 

[Chaitanya D]

Thank you @Pavel Pashkovskiy for the coffee and good coordination when we helped to recover another car stuck in a soft patch. 
great to have you on the drive

What an unusual drive experience today with random stuck people 🙉.

Thank you, @Chaitanya D, for leading us through the technical dunes today 🙌, I really enjoyed it.

All these random desert adventures are great learnings. Today's rescue reminded me how  important it is to have extra water and snacks for unpredictable events. You really never know how long you will be out there 🙂.

Thanks to all on this drive for a beautiful Sunday morning time 🧡

Guys, if anyone have photo or video recovery of the Nissan Patrol today, please share. 👍👍👍
