Unexpected Snow Along the Mojave Road

We had been planning this Mojave Road overland trip for several months and we would have never imagined we would get hit with a snow storm along the way. We spent 4 days and 3 nights along this historic trail exploring the interesting geological structures, historical landmarks and quickly man made relics.... it was truly and unforgettable adventure! #mojavetrail #jeepwrangler #overlanding

[@JustinCaseWages]

It's called lapse rate. Generally speaking -3.5F for every 1,000ft gained is the accepted number but it techically varies with moisture content in the air. Dry air will see a larger drop of up to around 5.4F+- while moist air will see less of a drop at around 2.7+-. It's just easier to say -3F drop per 1,000.

[@DouglasJames27]

In case it hasn't been mentioned b4, you would be shocked at how much better a campfire would be if you would tote along a washing machine drum. Put it up on several football sized rocks. The wood burns much more efficiently, slower, the heat retention will amaze everyone. You will burn so much less wood and the warmth that radiates in all directions will blow you away. The steel of the drum heats up and radiates a tremendous amount of heat. The rocks provide a taller heat blanket as well as providing air flow and also heat up and radiate heat. Try it once and you will never go back to pit campfires again. I realize space is limited with your rvs but this you WILL make room for. Regular campfires loose more heat than they radiate.

[@dantodhunter8373]

Weight and storage make it impractical/impossible to take overlanding. It does help produce a better campfire, though.

We will be going back to the Mojave Road for our second time after we run Death Valley NP the last of March and first week of April. Thanks for the video we missed the Stone House and Lava tube sites in the Mojave the last time out. We will for sure camp up in the hills this time, that place looks just incredible. Great video and thanks for the GPS coordinates.
