I'm going to be making my end to end trip in a couple of weeks and was wondering if any of you had any advice based on your experiences. I have a very capable truck and consider this to be a pretty novice road, but i'm interested in having the best trip possible even if it's not technical. I'll be driving to the Eastern
end on Friday, doing approx. 100 miles on saturday and doing the 40 or so out and driving on back to San Diego on Sunday.

a couple of questions:

Did you use the Mojave Road Guide book by Dennis C.?

Can you recommend a good map?

Were there deep enough water crossings to require
tarping the grill on a lifted disco?

Can you buy decent gas in Needles?

Are there accessible dunes?
(i'm not interested in doing any damage but if there
is an established traverse of a dune area I'd like to
do it)

Any of the sights along the way that you just
shouldn't miss?

Did you run into other people?

Any other tips or advice you'd give?

Thanks for your help and happy trails!
