Iskander summarized it well and there isn't much left to add.
It was my first trip after I got my first star and I enjoyed it pretty much. @
Abu Jimmy set the goal of keeping a constant pace of the convoy of about 30-40 km/h, and we tried.
It was pretty easy for the first 1h or so, but as soon as we hit some bigger dunes, we started having some 2nd attempts as well as some stuck people.
We were a big convoy, 35+ cars, so it wasn't easy to keep everybody grouped.
I had a to go through a second attempt because i was staying too close to the car in front of me and when it suddenly stopped after climbing the dune, I had to stop as well and was almost in a bowl.
Remembering the "don't fight gravity" advice :) I backed-up and did my second attempt, but I was getting very close to get stuck as the first reaction was not to back-up, it was keep the pedal down.
It was my first time in the area of Fossil Rock / Camel Rock, and I liked it pretty much. Would be nice going camping there before the end of camping season.
Overall, it was great being part of the almost family and am really looking forward for the next trip!
