Just minutes into our trip along California’s storied Mojave Road we encountered the first obstacle some 20 yards of water between us and the way forward.
I walked the weedy stretch of the Mojave River, testing the depth with a stick. Two feet here, three there. Could the Jeep Wrangler make it?
I jumped back inside.
“The secret is to keep the wave moving in front so it doesn’t stall us out,” I told Brian, my traveling companion.

California Highway Patrol officers from the Barstow office are investigating two fatal crashes, including one involving multiple vehicles on Interstate 15 on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s crash occurred a little after 5 p.m. south of Yates Well Road. It involved an unidentified man driving a stolen Chevrolet pickup truck on northbound I-15 in the No. 1 lane.
According to the CHP, the driver “for unknown reasons … turned left, crossed the dirt center divider” and entered the southbound lanes, crashing into an Acura SUV.
“The impact caused the Chevrolet to spin out across the southbound lanes where it struck a concrete wall and became disabled,” the CHP said.
