Crew #18 is preparing to leave sunny Salt Lake City.
...unfortunately, the Mars Society truck has some battery problems. Eventually, this battery will be replaced by a spare found in the truck, but the spare too will die at the end of the day!
Crew #18 is enjoying the sun after doing some shopping for the next two weeks.
Some beautiful landscape on our way to the Mars Desert Research Station.
The last kilometers to the MDRS.
Night arrival at the MDRS. Next challenge for the crew, start the generator, having only flashlights and no direction from a previous crew.
