    Trip report : (fewbee) we started our convoy at 5:10 . Our marshal was Zachariah and sweep Asem . We had really nice drive with some bowls and huge dunes also tricky sand :p we had 0 stuck , just a couple of 2 nd attempt . First time my family came for a drive and they had a lot of fun and the most what they loved was the team work , care for safety of others hats of to all our marshals . Waiting for the next drive eagerly
