Just a reminder: NAM will go offline to migrate to a new server tomorrow at 5 PM Mountain. Max set up a thread about our desert run over on the Super Secret OC site:

Thread opened in SSOCMCC

Bookmark the link, so that once NAM is offline, we can still communicate, if needed.

You won't know until after sunrise! BTW, Joshua Tree is the top rock-climbing enthusiast destination in the world!

It's a nice road, Jon. You'll enjoy the drive there. I guess we can all have breakfast in 29 Palms or Indio or Palm Springs!?

I need to get a spare tire!! I ditched my run flats but haven't had to worry about it since I don't really drive my car too far. (works from home).

Sure does, not only for a flat tire but the compressor is really handy to bump the pressure lower or higher for your driving needs.

I slept at 12 last night , and just woke up ( 1:30pm ) I should be so ready for this.

I'm having a bit of a heat-related health crisis, so I went to the doctor. She advised that I need to keep my feet elevated and take it easy this weekend. Plus, I'm supposed to stay out of the heat, so I'm out, guys. I'm so bummed.

I hope you have fun and take loads of pix!

Well it wasn't even too hot. In fact at 3 am it was only about 75 degrees.
Sorry we missed you. Hopefully someone got some good pictures, I haven't been awake enough to try and look at mine.
I'm off to take the Mini in for it's service engine soon light... why did that have to happen yesterday...

I took a pile of pics, hopefully some will be good.

I really enjoyed it !

OK, so we did not see hundreds of meteorites, but we at least saw tens of them !

The combination of sleep deprivation and excessive caffeine was certainly interesting !

I managed to carry on to Cars and Coffee before finally getting back at about 8:30 - I snoozed a little and will start the pic download and upload shortly....
