*UPDATE* Due to snowpack, I unfortunately have to move the destination of the trip. Planning on trekking up the Mendo NF. More details to follow in the next day or so. I will plan another trip to Niagra Rim later this year once the snow melts. Hey hey! Our May MORG is around the corner! See all the deets below as they stand. Can't wait to see ya'll there! We will head up into the Mendocino NF, around Lake Pillsbury and back out. When: May 18th and 19th What: May. MORG - overnight camping optional. Where: Mendocino NF Meetup Location: Chevron on CA-20 in Upper Lake https://maps.app.goo.gl/5dmxW57kRfWYehZ77 Meeting Time: 09:30AM Things to know: Easy enough for stock trucks but more fun than just another fire road. This is a MORG - all Rover owners and all vehicle models are welcome to join! If you have a friend that is a rover-head and wants to get a taste for the NCLR club life this would be a good trip. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I will be coming from San Francisco if anyone wants to meet up along the way we can coordinate Message if you have any questions or concerns, my number is 415-672-4326 Peace and love, Mario

What Did You Do With Your Rover Today?
El Chapomint replied to AdvRovr's topic in Show us your Rover!
Would it be worth changing the ratio if it needs to be rebuilt or keep it currently stock? Side question, would the people switch to a Borg Warner over the LT230? Not sure if thats even possible in a D1 -
All Terrain Vs Snow Tire for LR4
El Chapomint replied to SarathP's topic in General Discussion Forum
Hey! I have run the Falken wildpeak A/T3W on my RRS for a while now and love them. They make them in a lot of different sizes as well as not being super expensive. I've had them on all sorts of conditions from sand, wet roads and snowy trails with zero issues. -

Agreed, I don't think/hope it's not a full snow run but I did hear there's probably around 6' at Poker Flat. -
May MORG - No Flats at Poker Flat
El Chapomint replied to El Chapomint's topic in NCLR Scheduled Trips and Event Information
OK... So I checked in on road conditions...I'm sad to say as of the May 4th corral hollow will be closed until at least the 31st. We will be trying to make the run up to Poker Flat (it's also a ghost town 👻). This trail is a little further for anyone who plans do make it a day trip (at least from the bay). Lets plan to meet at the Rite-Aid in Grass Valley at 10:00 https://goo.gl/maps/acPv2nBdZZP439EQA?coh=178572&entry=tt There are 2 routes to get up to Poker Flat depending on the conditions, so get ready for an adventure! Weather will be sunny with temps in the 60's to 70's during the day and dipping down in to the 40's at night. Don't forget your wooly jumpers! I'll plan to put a corral hollow run on the calendar for later this summer when its open, don't worry. -

2023 resolution: come back to NCLR
El Chapomint replied to Phil.'s topic in General Discussion Forum
Hey Phil! There were a lot of fun trips last year but don't worry there will be a ton more this year! Plus the RRS crew has grown 1 stronger now that you're back. -
My 13 pound mini dachshund can not keep warm enough and he also makes a great foot warmer in the sleeping bag. Having a warm sleeping goes far too...I recently upgraded to a bag rated to 0 degrees and its made a huge difference. The other thing that we do is put your clothes for the next day in your bag over night that way they aren't so cold in the morning when you put them on.
