Hey all. Miles was there a gpx file from your pre-run you’ll be sharing or are we good downloading the file from the EHMT website? Just curious. Two week countdown!!!!

Starting in on some fascinating reading! Really cool checking out the books. Thanks for the tip

Less than 3 weeks out and trying to prioritize projects. Do I need a few jerry cans mounted on board? With stops in towns Tuesday and Thursday, I'm leaning towards putting them in the "nice to have" category and not the "must have". Am I wrong? I have the cans, just would need to get them rack mounted. I recognize the question fully reveals my noobiness and the gear list does say to bring extra fuel so...Ok.

Nice info. Well I'd love to meet up if a group forms for Saturday night. I think the point about a bed and shower before 7 days out is well taken! Let me know

Has anyone looked at where they are staying Saturday night? Going all the way to Needles Saturday or camping out somewhere along the way and pushing in on Sunday?

Wish we could make it and put into practice everything I learned a few weeks ago on Bald Mountain but we've got some Cub Scout camping on the agenda! BB guns and archery😁, but no wheeling

Ha! Thanks man. It was great running with the group and my 7 yo had a ton of fun. Dad duty kept me from the campfire but another time. Sad to say I'm out of town for Bowman otherwise I'd be there charging hard out of those holes! Cheers.

Hope everyone had a blast - here is the club photo album for the Shaver Run
Once our nerves eased, yeah, we had a blast! Hi all. Chris here back in Napa with stories to tell my family. As everyone knows by now, this was my first trip with the club and honestly my first legitimate wheeling with the LR4. I know I thanked most of you, but for posterity, I want to really say a huge thanks to the guys and gal in the "first group". You all really went out of your way to share knowledge and were patient with me and my son as we doubted what we were capable of. Needless to say it was an eye-opening, and eye-popping day on the trail. I'm grateful.
I know Eric should have some great vids of our 5! Should be entertaining. Gotta run. Need to go buy some armor!
Cheers

I plan to drive in on Saturday morning.
When do we move out from the camp to the trail?
I'm trying to understand how early do I need to start driving from home.
From a prior post it looks like Plan is to leave camp at 9:00 and get to staging around 9:45.

Kids are welcome as well are wives and pets. We just have one rule, they are to be seen, not heard. Just kidding 😉. This is a very family friendly event event. There should be plenty of kids running around having fun.
Thanks buddy. My 7 yo took one look at the RTT and said he’s in for the weekend. Should be good!

I'm signed up! LFG!
Nice! Curios is there any way to see sort of a roster of who’s in? Just wondering the rig count and whether I should even be mentioning to my non-club amigos.
-
So I stumbled into a deal on a Scout trailer. I’m considering hauling it for the 1st Annual if I have family joining so I’m going to bring it this weekend for a sort of shakedown run and get to know it BUT I think it’s still just me and obviously have room to share! Welcome
Are there any kids coming on this trip? Are kids allowed? I’ve got a 5 and 7 yo but they are undecided on snow camping.
-
I think I know the answer, but good ol fashioned wood fires are allowed up there currently?

I made a reservation, but only for Friday night, there wasn't any other availability Saturday night.
I’ll be tent camping in my site, probably with one other person so should have room to share if you need a spot hit me up!
-
Yeah I’m still curious about it. Still seems relatively under the radar.
-
That's a well-developed itinerary. Thanks for developing this! Out of curiosity, which days provide for opportunity for water refill. Stated another way, how many "days" of water should we plan on carrying?
Is registration opening on the 10th still?
-
Is there likely to be a Bay Area caravan for the rigs headed up on Friday? There's zero precipitation currently for all February so whatever snow was up there from December will be it.

Schedule a test sooner than later. Appointments fill up quickly and it’s all virtual. The sample questions are the same as the test questions.
Baofeng handhelds are a cheap way to get going.
Yeah buddy! Hamstudy FTW. Scored 35/35 today. And within two hours had my call sign KN6SNX. Guess I need to learn how to actually use a radio now lol

The take-home with HAM for off-roading is the ability to communicate over long distances... In the old days with CB you could be stuck in a creek bed somewhere and not be able to reach another CB to due the relatively weak wave propagation. With a HAM set, and the skills to program it, you can (in most cases using repeaters) reach hundreds if not thousands of miles to communicate. I took a one-day "HAM-Cram" course at a local sheriff office. With my experience in marine radio (I had a FCC license) it was a breeze.

Nice. I’m working through the hamstudy.org flashcards now and hope to have a Kenwood or Baofeng in time for Shaver. It’s definitely an overwhelming amount of technical stuff to learn.

Anyone here know more about this event or participated? I just discovered it and don’t see much on their website about things like oh I don’t know, what do I get for $850?!? I mean, I assume it includes something more than just the 3 days of geocaching right? Anyone have intel?
-
Ok full noob question, and I never go full noob. From what I can tell this is mainly a HAM based club. Assuming I can make whichever dates are selected, are all participants expected to be HAM licensed for comms? I currently have no radio system so happy to pursue whichever system is mainly used on these adventures. Cheers, Chris

FWIW, 12 PSI is too low for an LR3 on 18's...unless you want Don H to give you an object lesson in how to set the bead again lol. (15 psi is perfect).
Thanks for this info. I'm new to my LR4 on 265/65/18s and couldn't imagine going that low, especially with the load ratings etc.

Woah this sounds amazing! Hoping the week works out. When do you all anticipate closing the survey and setting the dates?
