Well my latest PET scan and numbers came back and my little trespasser has unfortunately grown and spread so they are putting me back on the gnarly chemo starting next Tuesday (have been on a maintenance regimen which was not so debilitating), that basically wipes me out for at least a week, so I am going to have to bail.
Difficult to find the words to describe how bummed I am to miss this.
Sorry mates.

So sorry to hear Jeff..! Yes, Prez is correct. We (I) may be running this as Overland 2024 v.2 in the Fall to help "complete the circle."
Sending positive healing energy your way!

Man sorry to hear Jeff, was looking forward to having you along. Not to worry, we will pour one for you! Hopefully you will back up and running in time for the next one ; ). Sounds like we may make our way back down again in the fall!

The killer patch warms the cockles of my heart, but I can't imagine where the "Modern Rovers" recommendation came from...   

I'm in for some spice as well.  Also I still owe everyone a rotisserie lamb feast that I'd like to make good on...   I will have plenty of room in my Dometic fridge/freezer if anyone needs it.

Hello Land Rover People!
We are thrilled to announce that the club will be hosting the Third Annual Overland Event in 2024. 
_____
2024 Overland Event Location:
For 2024, we plan on traversing Segments 3 & 4 of the Eastern Mojave Heritage Trail in Southern California. The route will start near Ludlow and conclude in Needles, CA covering approximately 350 miles. This route is far more remote than those experienced on Segments 1 &2 we traveled in 2022.
The trip highlights are many including petroglyphs, old tank tracks, local history, mines, sprawling scrublands, and of course, incredible desert camping opportunities galore!
Dates and Itinerary:  May 11th - May 19th
May 11th - Transit Day to Aiken Cinder Mine May 12th - Trail Day 1: Aiken Cinder Mine to Mailbox 3 May 13th - Trail Day 2: Mailbox 3 to Granite Pass May 14th - Trail Day 3: Granite Pass to Hole in the Wall May 15th - Trail Day 4: Hole in the Wall to Lieser Ray Mine May 16th - Trail Day 5: Lieser Ray Mine to Raiders of the Lost Arch May 17th - Trail Day 6: Lost Arch to Eagle Pass May 18th - Transit Day: Eagle Pass to Needles to Home May 19th - "Situation" Buffer and Optional Transit Day As always our pace will depend on a variety of factors including road conditions, speed, interest in stops, etc. Please check back as the itinerary is being put together.
Registration: 
Cost per driver is $65, $30 per Passenger Members will get a discount and get first grabs at the open slots before we open this to the public. The registration fees will go towards T-shirts, patches and other goodies - we aim to make this a break even event. Registration is LIVE! --> https://forum.norcalrovers.org/store/ Registration will be limited to 15 vehicles in order to maintain a manageable event. Difficulty & Vehicle Requirements:
Stock vehicles are certainly welcome and will likely have no issues on the trail. While the trail is certainly not easy in all places, I expect we can get everyone through without major difficulty.
Adventure trailers are welcome, but expect hitch dragging and tight quarter maneuvering. 
Things to expect:
Pinstripes are 100% going to happen. Divorce yourself from your paint now. There are many steep drops and rises in and out of washes, depending on what this year's winter brings, the roads could be fine, or a washed out disaster. Vehicles that have low profile front and rear bumpers may see scuffing/contact. Minimum Vehicle Requirements
Mechanically Sound Rover (as best as they are) Working E-Brake/Parking Brake 30" tires including full-size spare Recovery Points front and rear Center Differential Lock (CDL) (or other modern equivalent) Minimum Gear Requirements:
