The sky is bleeding, we must fear the flood
Area 53 and my battered car
May 21, 2009We went on a desert safari last weekend to this place called Area 53. The place is riddled with countless sand dunes and I would guess is the extreme dune bashers dream location. As soon as you get off the road and on to the desert, you are greeted by some of the largest sand dunes in the area with steep inclines and jawdropping cliffs. It’s not for the faint of heart and the inexperienced. I would not suggest this place for drivers who are very new to the sport, or are not keen on getting some damage on their vehicles.
That black car at the top is me.
Here’re some pictures of the damage my car sustained during the trip.
