    Thank you for closing with a dedication to Dennis Casebier.
    When I was just a young troop I worked with Dennis.
    He was a genuinely nice person, and loved the desert.
    I’m certain that his spirit continues to thrive in the Mojave.

    Thank you for making a very quintessential well done tour of the EMHT. Thank you so much for highlighting it. I am a member of the MDHCA and thank you for the publicity.

    Well Done! I grew up in Anaheim and we had 10 families do similar adventures in late 70’s and early 80’s. This vid brought back a flood of memories. Live in Northern Cali now. I got a hankering to get a trip goin. THANK YOU😊

    you guys are doing great and for us this is one of the best channels for overlanding trials..actual overlanding trails. I wish you had more info though on the trail itself as it seems you really went pretty fast here and for us we have a Off grid trailer which can handle anything. But Overlanding with this awesome trailer it is different than just driving a truck or Jeep so more info on trail conditions, airing down sections, obstacles or areas that maybe a little more difficult. Maybe asking too much but I think this channel and website will really take off

Hadn't heard of this one till I came across your video and from what I've seen here the first section won't be a problem for our off roading hardside truck campers. Many of us had wander what had happen to the yellow bus on the Mojave Road now I have the answer.

    And just like that, Nipton has been sold. It was sold a few days ago to the company that puts on Absinthe and a few other circus shows in Las Vegas. Their plan is to turn it into a circus town attraction, along with a training/workshopping center for circus performers.

      Yup, get a full size rig and pinstriping comes with the territory. You'll end up with your fair share on the EMHT.

      @OverlandTrailGuides  5 місяців тому +1

      I'd recommend joining our community forums on our website. Great place to ask a lot more questions. If I was driving from the East Coast with limited time, I'm not sure Mojave Road or the EMHT would be at the top of my list, also depends when you're traveling.

      Dennis Casebier would like that! His original plans were to make the Mojave road a backpacking route, but after hiking it, he wasn't sure there were as many crazy people out there as him and decided to turn it into a vehicles guided tour.

    Both love and hate the content... I love the area and the remote escape from people and hate how I am finding the amount idiots have been on the rise, people leaving trash and not properly dealing with the remnants of their remote camping toilets. I fear too much exposure will ruin the experience.

    • @OverlandTrailGuides
      @OverlandTrailGuides  Рік тому

      The vast majority of the track runs through the Mojave National Preserve, so it makes sense. Dennis worked closely with the original LEOs back in the 80s and 90s, so not much of a surprise, and MDHCA continues to work closely with them. Markers for the EMHT will be going up later this year.
