[May Morg - *Update* Mendo trip]

Sorry to hear you can't make it anymore Oliver, I know mendo is a bit far from Merced.

 

Meet up location has been updated.

[Gauging Interest Baja Mexico April 2025]

Would love to go down to Baja! depending on time haha

[Is this the end?]

NOOO! Its sad to hear that a fellow RRS is going to be put out to pasture. I just messaged you about it tho haha

[May Morg - *Update* Mendo trip]

*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

Are those metal chucks or rubber?  

If you got time id rebuild it at the same time you can upgrade it to a HD cross pin or even a atb .Rebuild kits are around 135 plus shipping from Ashcroft .If you need it done im sure Tim Scully could do it or Matt Jackson down is paso does good work. 

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

[Now Canceled - Bowman Lake Snow Run March 23-24]

I unfortunately have to bowman out of this trip. Hope everyone still has a great time in the fresh pow pow!

[Now Canceled - Bowman Lake Snow Run March 23-24]

I'm trying to make it with the adventure sausage...TBD on Rachel. Could also do the weekend of the 9-10.

[All Terrain Vs Snow Tire for LR4]

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. 

[Cancelled Gauging Interest: Mojave Road jan 5-7]

Sorry @lutz, not going to be able to make this trip anymore. Hope you everyone has a great time!

[Cancelled Gauging Interest: Mojave Road jan 5-7]

I'm going to try and make this trip too!

[Mendocino National Forest camping trip?]

[What Did You Do With Your Rover Today?]

Delivered 13 rolls of fabric (about 575lbs) to a factory the other day. 

[The Annual Sept 15-17th]

I don't expect it to be a complete snow run, but definitely see some in the shade.

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]

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.

Should be interesting with weather. Shows to be raining now and warm up over the next few weeks, but far out weather reports tend to be inaccurate and more of a guess. Shaver Lake got a mix of rain and snow these past few days totaling 2". That itself isn't much, but considering's its May and suppose to be in the 30's and 40's for the next week. Was hoping to go camping this weekend but left my snow gear back home :(. Yosemite closed Hwy 140 until June/July due to weather. Pinecrest and Dodge Ridge (similar elevation and a ridge over) got some snow and rain totaling 2" so I'm guessing the river along the trail will be rather high. Now this is is 16 days before the trip, but figured would be worth looking at.

 

Yeah it’s gonna be an adventure!

[May MORG - No Flats at Poker Flat]

I did have to move it back a weekend.

@Mr.BlueSky can you help update the calendar.

I'm in! As usual will see if Mark will go but I wouldn't bet on it. I was up by Pinecrest Wednesday and Sunday with 0 snow on the roads or side of the road 7,000 feet. I saw a lot of snow melting in shady lots. With it being a ridge over I'm guessing it shouldn't be terrible. On the other hand Dodge Ridge (8,200) still had at least 8 feet at the base and maybe 30 feet at the top.

Thanks! This all good to know

I’m hopeful to make it… @Mr.BlueSky can I share with the fam?!

[2023 resolution: come back to NCLR]

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.

[Winter camping ideas]

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.
