sasquatch Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 For everyone sweating what to bring for the potluck, relax...it's not a formal sit-down type of deal. We've never even used a table! Bring whatever you feel like. We'll have a couple of BBQ's going, prolly some Carne Asada or something. Just bring what ever you feel like eating. There will be PLENTY of food to go around - not to mention cocktails! NO MRE's!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks Dave! I'll probably bring the mega kitchen just for the counter space for the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just got the call back from Shaver Lake, I am confirmed in spot 232. Thanks Neill. I've updated the first post with the latest campsite reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydevildoc Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 NO MRE's!!!!! Damn. There went my plan... you haven't lived until you try to eat a veggie omelete at snow temperature... Don't worry, we will still have some for Josh and I to eat the rest of the time. If we are doing Carne Asada, should we bring meat, tortillas, torta bread, etc...

JFlores Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Forget the torta bread, what about the Mexican pasteries is anyone bringing those? If not I could bring those, unless you guys are watching your waist lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandRonB Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Have fun guys/gals! Most likely I won't make it to this trip. I have a work project keeping me busy. Unless I get it finished sooner. Been going to this trip since @ the getgo, and will sure miss out for the first time this year. You have Brenton (thanks by the way for taking the lead and organizing this trip, and carrying the torch), Sasquatch and other veteran to keep the new comers safe/no man or woman left behind on the deep snow trail - have fun and be safe with winching and driving in deep snow!

Neill, I sent an email to Clay DeWan yesterday to see if he might be interested in the trip. I haven't heard back from him yet...I assume all you San Diego guys know each other, so maybe you could give him a nudge as well...? Ron, hope things free up for you and you can make it. Just wouldn't seem like Shaver Lake without you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rveiga Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I just received a confirmation call from Lake Edison camp ground; I am confirmed for space 227. I am planning on bring my son (4 yro James); he is well seasoned and spent time in the snow wheeling across UT last year in the high Mts but the passenger seat is open if anyone wants to join. Will there be any other kids on the trip? I also just ordered a set (well technically 2 sets) of RUD Grip 4x4 for the KM2 255\85\R16. Looking forward to some good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ok Bob, I have you for 227 and Pedram for 236. We shouldn't need any more camps reserved. I got my RUD's in, but the warehouse sent one size too large, #2533 instead of #2532. Working on getting them returned now. I'm not sure what Jen's plans are for Saturday, but at one point she was asking about maybe riding w/ someone. Check with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydevildoc Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Living in San Diego I don't have much need for traction aids like snow chains... but my nerd gadget lust has me eying a set of "Spikes-Spiders". Combine that with Terrain Response programming for "Snow" and some lockers, and I think I am going to have some fun! Has anyone ever heard of Spikes-Spider before? They look bad ass, with the price to match. But if they do what they say, it's worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rveiga Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I will send an offer out to Jen for satuday. Corpsman - would be interesting to see how well they actually work. Besides, they could be a good investment after the world turns upside down when the Mayan calander ends; San Diego may end up with Fargo weather.

MichaelBeaver Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I am not going on the trip but I have a set of chains that I carry (but never use) for trips up to skiing on I80. they are rated for the following: 30/9.5R15P255/70R15215/85R16LT215/80R16LT32/10.00R169.50R16.58R17.5215/75R17.5P275/60R15 If anyone wishes to use them for shaver lake, I can bring them to the MORG tomorrow for you or you can meet me some place close to Sac....

AA Journey Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hey Brenton, Do you have count of how many LRs there will be on this trip? It seems that we have a big turn out which is great but I don't know how we are going to plan the trail run. I have never been there so don't know if having many rigs on the trail at once is a good idea. Maybe we can break into groups or something. Anyway, just a suggestion. Can you put Mark on Pedram's camp spot? Pedram and I will be BBQ some stakes for the pot luck. AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I count 19 trucks so far. That is a pretty big turn out, maybe the biggest yet. What usually happens is we try to line up every other vehicle on the trail with a winch. At the entrance we can test a few trucks to see how they fare breaking the fresh snow. Inevitably, people get stuck at different points and when you're moving you may not even notice the person behind you is stuck because you're too busy keeping your eyes, and momentum forward. It's usually easier to get pulled backwards than tugged forward. Whatever you do don't keep spinning your tires if your stuck. The friction melts the snow and it becomes ice for the people behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeWare Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Site 229 is confirmed for Friday night and I believe Graeme has Saturday night! Still not sure what kid is coming with me, what truck I will take or if a trailer will be in tow??? Okay, so I have my pink mirror hanger for Saturday, and looks like we'll be arriving Friday now, possibly quite early as I'm going to come with Lucas (11years old now, and wants to drive in the snow .... mmmm, don't think it allowed there is it?) . We'll be making a trip to, I think, Fresno in the late evening on Friday to collect Ann from the train station, unless anyone knows a better way to get from either Palo Alto (preferred), or OAKland, to a place nearby leaving after about 4:30pm. Anyone else coming over late that has a spare seat? All the above assumes I have a vehicle working by then ... Regards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
