    Convoy report for the Convoy 1

    First of all @Sajit Modiyil and @siddharth maheshwari didn't showed up. It is definitely not cool to not show up for the drive you signed up. @Nivin couldn`t came but at least he gave a explanation. Hopefully your car is back to business :) 

    This was bit challenging. Maybe more than challenging. Actually we started very good, we drove from Nazwa to Pink rock making some sideys. Few refusals and if i am not mistaken maybe with only 1 stuck. Once we reach to the Pink Rock area we start having issues. Area was full of soft patches. Because of soft sand cars start having issues LR2 had hard time to deal with the soft sand without a low gear and Ashok`s Pajero start making a weird noise. In this point we decided to take Ashok to 2nd December cafeteria to let him exit.

    While heading to 2nd December i found myself in a nasty situation. Right side of me pocket, infront of me pocket with a tree in it and my car facing to that tree. I noticed the situation at the last point and manage to stop before going in to that pocket but i wasn`t able to go back, one of my tire was up and my car was front heavy. With a brain storm with Richard and precious help from Rizwan we managed to take me out from the situation.

    On the way again we had couple of stucks, which made us got slow and when we reach to the 2nd December it was already time to exit. We all inflated and exited safely.

    @Rizwanm2 did very well. Thank you for being 2nd lead.

    @Arda Yagcioglu had his first fewbie drive. Once you change your car it will be more easier for you.

    @Ashok chaturvedi hopefully your car will not have any big issue and you will be back soon.

    @Jose Martin flawless drive. Did wonderful. 

    @Wrangeld Thank you so much for your support.

    Thanks @sertac i will compensate on the next drive 😊. Wednesday evening had fixed an LED Bar in front and the car was not starting at the morning, replaced the battery its all ok now.

    Desert Cleanup Drive

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    Last Friday when we were almost finishing the drive at Murqquab we saw a huge pile of waste in the sand seems like a party left over and it was very sad to see.

    The climate is getting better and it attracts more people to the desert for off-roading and camping and sometimes they don’t take the waste back. Desert is fragile environment which are home to various creatures from reptiles to camels and we must be attentive in how we treat the areas that we visit. These animals depend on land to survive. Land that is untainted by plastic wastes or human wastes. Muncipalities are giving fines to residents who are not following the rules, not putting fire or fire pits and leaving the thrash behind. If this goes bad slowly we will find places getting more restrictions and even closure.

    All of us can better the desert’s ecosystem by playing our part in keeping the desert clean. The process is simple, easy, and a great lesson for everyone!

    How can you keep the desert clean?

    Along with the barbecue, firewood and food, always bring along garbage bags to keep our trash in. This way you know where our trash is going and it is easier to keep track of.  When we are doing barbecue or putting a camp fire always put the fire off with water and take the coal (make sure the fire is completely killed) in the garbage bags. If we are having food in the desert take the waste back and put those at the garbage bins near the exit points and prevent anything from scattering across the sand. If you find someone else's trash on the desert, be kind and pick it up. I would wish for someone to do the same if I forgot about the trash left behind.

    Have herd from seniors @Rahimdad @Gaurav @Srikumar the garbage and dead animals they had seen in desert which was worse than what we saw last week. 

    Is it possible for us to organize a Covid 19 Compliant Desert Cleanup Drive.
