    We covered 63km this morning. Starting at Badayer we headed out to Pink Rock. We were shocked at the amount of litter that was left in the dessert there. Then we headed back to Badayer, crossed the road and hit all the big dunes as we made our way to Iftar Bowl where we made our exit. No stucks and only a couple second attempts. There were a lot of other groups out this morning and we kept having to change radio frequency to avoid hearing about their stucks.
