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. |
