    Fun, informative, and entertaining. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and the people at Covered Wagon made our evening so special. George and Paul were a wealth of information regarding the desert and the oasis. Crazy Kate and the musicians were extremely fun. The food was excellent. This is one of the best excursions I’ve booked in a long time. When we return to the area, we will go again. Oh, and Jet was an excellent photographer for our sunset pictures.
