Chasing Gold & Dust: The S&J Field Log

We’ve already failed so you don’t have to. Out here in the Mojave, the learning curve is as steep as the canyon walls. Whether it’s a dry-washer losing fine gold or a line on a map that led to a dead end, we’ve put in the miles and made the mistakes to find what actually works.

Welcome to SJ Adventures, the digital home of our desert pursuits. From the High Desert gold claims of the Mojave to the technical flight paths of the Morongo Basin, we live at the intersection of old-world prospecting and modern digital frontiers. Whether we’re out digging for gold, driving our 2021 Gladiator through Berdoo Canyon, or documenting the desert from a 4K drone feed, this is where we track the dirt, the data, and the discoveries.

Explore our latest logs:

Desert Prospecting: Deep dives into dry-washing, reading ancient geology, and maximizing gold recovery in arid terrain.

Off-Road & Overlanding: Real-world testing of our Fox 2.0 Shocks and Gladiator upgrades on the harshest trails.

Drones & Aerial Surveys: Immersive drone footage and surveys that reveal the desert’s secrets from above.

Digital Projects: Behind the scenes of “Vibe Coding” and laser engraving—where technical logic meets creative output.

We’re constantly pushing further into the wild to bring back fresh field reports and gear torture tests. Stick around, explore the logs, and join us on the hunt. The desert is calling—let’s go find what’s hidden.
