Judging from the last trip may I suggest doors.

Iv got a propane fire pit I'll bring. The heat is nothing like a real fire but the romance ambiance is there.

Not all heroes ware capes.

We took lilith out for a shake down run over the weekend. With any luck the rover gods will smile on us all and itll be an issue free weekend. If not hopefully someone hooked up with paul because I feel beer can solve most issues. Were excited and can't wait to see everyone in a couple days.

Getting this out early as there is probably travel time needed for anyone wanting to come from the bay area. WHAT: a desert camping trip through high rock canyon in northern Nevada. WHERE: this is where it gets fun, we will meet in gerlach Nv at noon on friday. If people want to convoy from reno to gerlach we can arrange a meet up spot and if anyone wants to come in Thursday and spend the night at our place we can make room for anyone. WHEN: friday October 4 - sunday october 6 THE PLAN: This is a definite overland style trip we will travel from one camp to the next through high rock canyon. Any stock rover with good tires can make this trip but there is for certain pinstripe opportunity. We will meet up in gerlach friday around noon fuel and head out. There is no grocery store in gerlach so get any last minute foods ahead of time. From there we will head north to soldier meadow hot springs for first camp. There is a pool to soak in so bring your swim trunks if you want. We will then head out through fly canyon then into high rock canyon. This was one of the emigrant routs so plenty of history and sights. We will end our run saturday at either Steven's camp or massacre ranch where we can do a potluck dinner if people want. Then sunday it's a run back to pavement with a possible stop for petrified wood if people want. I'll set out more details and info as it gets close but gerlach is 2 hours north of reno so I just want people to be set up if needed. Any questions feel free to reach out.

Either the best or worst 100 dollars if ever spent. My new to me cooler cooper loves it Julia's not as impressed but I think she just doesn't want to get overstimulated with excitement.

Thanks eric for planning out another killer hell hole trip. Its quickly becoming my summer rock crawl kick off trail and this year was full of good challenges. The camp sight was great the mosquitos were alot less great and cooper is pretty bummed he didn't catch a fish so there's the excuse to go back. Thanks again to eric for leading and merlyn for cooking breakfast for cooper and I.

The truth behind this picture is not that fun so I figure we can all make up our own story as to what's going on.

Just bring them I'm bringing our latest addition. He falls over alot but I couldn't bring myself to name him don so cooper picked the name disco.

Unfortunately I can hit the road till 5ish so I'll be a late arrival but excited to get there

Pending any burn downs I'll be there as well.

Hey now mines cornish cream, don't rope me in with those basic types. Although dusty fadeing white might be a better description of cornish crewm.

Cooper might be missing it he ran his trucks across the gravel driveway, a to scale potato road. Then lined them up for "camp".

Big thanks to the Miles, Theresa Sasha, and anyone else in the planning. It was much much more of an experience then I was expecting and completely worth it. Rupert and I made it back into reno a little after 10 but we got to run in a nice rain storm on the way home and that made the no ac pretty nice and gave a pre car wash. Note to self add a HVAC blower switch to the spares list. Thanks again to everyone on the overland committee for creating such a great event.

The song that runs through my head as I pack last minute late into the night.
