linked up with the Offroad Overland Camping crew for a three-night overlanding trip across the southern Nevada desert. Ron Channels led the run, joined by Rob, Mark, Mimi, James, another Mark, newcomers Bob and Carla, and me making the drive in from Phoenix. The plan was to explore Nelson Ghost Town, tackle Copper Cache and the Nelson Loop trails, and finish out on the Mojave Trail with a camp in the New York Mountains.
