Doing a road trip to Joshua Tree National Park this holiday weekend, and from what I can see several of the unpaved old mine roads have substantial amounts of "soft sand" to deal with.
This'll be my first time on any real amount of sand, any suggestions from experience out there? I'm assuming air the tires down to 20-25psi, and don't go fast/crazy or I'll pop a bead but also don't go too slow and loose momentum...any more specific techniques to getting through the soft stuff?
I'm bringing a good folding shovel, should I think about bringing some "boards" too? I was thinking maybe some of those squares of interlocking plastic mesh garage flooring would be perfect...
I'm also bringing a 2-ton comealong and some grade 7 5/16" chain, but somehow I doubt there will be much to attach it to if I need it
