For the first time ever we had 2 convoys for the morning drive. :ymparty:
I took the fewbie convoy with Alex in support. We started at Faqqa and had a long play in that area enjoying the ridges. Then we headed towards Quadra lakes. The sand on the second part of the journey was extremely soft and everyone did well to get through that area with only a couple of stucks. Thanks to Alex who did a good job when leading.
