oof... high 90's may not work out well for my engine, esp on the slow going bits. maybe I should run the block test this wkend!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

signed up. Sebastian will likely join... he "wants to go to the desert".

the guy is building a hotel that he wants/plans to open this summer/fall. So, maybe make a club trip of it!

Some (many?) of us in the club are fascinated by abandoned mines & ghost towns through out CA/NV. I came across this story and thought some here would enjoy it. He's got a YT channel documenting life and grand plans to open a hotel & museum in this ghost town. https://www.businessinsider.com/bought-california-ghost-town-cerro-gordo-lonely-found-life-purpose-2024-2 "We've rebuilt the old elevator, but it still takes 45 minutes to get down to the 40-foot by 20-foot area where I'm staying while I wait out a snowstorm. It's warmer and quieter down here, and I can record my audiobook."

That’s too bad!

I believe Johann has on the calendar MNF trip coming up mid Nov. I didn't see a post for it and I suspect Johann is still planning it out. So, I'm gonna help (not help?) by posting this to gauge interest. I believe the club used to run a Mendo trip regularly. The last one was I think in 2017 or 2018, I lead with Robert, Miles, John, Rupert and maybe Daniel? Weather was nice that some of us even went for a swim in Lake Pillsbury. Map pic for attention!

This was prob one of the more memorable MORG for me. Fantastic company, fun trails and explored trails and the area on a relaxing pace. Thanks to Sacha & Mike for leading the trails for this trip. Special thanks to all the doggies for keeping the bears 🐻 away while we slept! We spent part of Saturday running Signal Peak in reverse. The Saturday afternoon was spent exploring near by trails. We came across a really nice campsite right on a slow moving river (water temp was 55°F). It has 2 big fire pits and a big serving/prep table! We hung out there for prob an hour. Eric, Mike, Sacha and the doggies went a dig and a swim in the river. We also had no less than 3 water crossings. On Sunday morning, we relaxed by the camp fire and didn’t leave camp until about 11. We worked our way through a trail toward I-80, As we were airing up at a pull off, a person rolled up in an ATV and asked if we’re ok and that we’re on private property. It was only then did we noticed the private property- no trespassing sign on a telephone pole in front of where we stopped. Evidently, we unknowingly drove through some private property. The property wasn’t marked (as far as i can tell) on the trial and none of us noticed it on the various maps we were using. At least not until the guy on the atv showed it to Mike. Now we know, and knowing is half the battle! Participants: - Eric, Merlyn, Sierra & Toby in their overlanding RRC with RRC trailer - Sacha & Belka in their LR3 - Leigh Ann & Mike in their Defender 110 - Gabriel in his RRC - Cris (me) in a Defender 90 IMG_4138.mov

interested and looks like I'll be in town in Jan. fingers crossed for dry weather!

I'll be out of that that week to 2nd week Nov. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll make the Rubicon-lite this year.

I’m not aware of any Rover-specific shops in Fremont or that area of east bay. In general, you can do standard veh maintenance (oil changes, tires, etc.) through most shops. Then go with one of the shops you noted when it’s rover specific. If you have questions about your LR4, I’d say post it here and I’m sure most of us are happy to give guidance.

it'll try to make this...and likely solo trip for this one.

Rubicon for Daily Drivers! I would be interested in this... though, def need to sort out the overheating at low/idle-speed issue first.

Hoping I can head out Friday morning to make the most of the trip.

Death Valley to be closed for months from the storm. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-09-03/death-valley-national-park-faces-months-of-storm-repairs
