GraemeWare Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Another trip to the Rubicon (Ron)? Talking to yourself again Ron? Sign of madness you know ... A Pismo trip and a Bald Mountain trip would be on my "to-do" list. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Actually, talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence. Answering yourself is a sign of madness;) I'd like to continue being trip leader for the Shaver Lake Snow Run. I have some ideas for the next trip that might make the trip more doable, given the large turnout this trip generates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandRonB Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Congrats on the new job Nathan. Will make sure to put a note re: the Rally in our 2012 calendar. Everyone great suggestions and planned trips so far. Anyone interested in checking out the Hammers. King of Hammers just opened up stock vehicle class: http://www.race-dezert.com/home/king-of-the-hammers-creates-new-race-for-stock-vehicles-19363.html I am not interested in running the race, but more interested in putting together a NCLR Land Rover team (just need a driver and Rover - Lutzi, you can do it) if enough interest and provide support for any club members wanting to participate in the race. Next year, want to recce the event and check the course and watch the event closely (will do some camping/wheeling around the area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlores Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am down for anything. I can put together a overnighter trip to Fordyce, or China Flat off of Silverfork Rd (South Lake Tahoe Area). I am jonesing for something, my schedual has been packed this summer. looking forward to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I am up for Death Valley again. My new radiator shouldn't blow up on me this year. Mojave Road would be great too and possibly trips later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSuttle Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 There is not enough free time in the year, but we have interest in: 1) Death Valley2) Oregon Discovery Trail3) Lost Coast (maybe add a day so we can do both parts)4) Black Rock (would be willing to lead) I'd also like to look through my books to see if there's something new we can do in the Eastern Sierra's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMBRover Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I thought I'd turn our solo trip to Southern Utah and New Mexico into a scouting trip. See what we could do in a 5-6 day trip maybe ending in Moab. Just a thought. I'm still looking for someone to step up an lead the Oregon trip. I have all the planning material and map books available. Rupert and I talked about Alaska at the annual. He suggested the first step is to do a survey to see what people want and how long a trip it should be. I expect Rupert will post up a planning thread soon. I'm not up to leading it but very willing to lend my experience and planning material to the cause. I could put together the Mojave Road trip with Brenton's and Chuck's help. Might be fun to do in the fall, +/- next year's annual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFuller Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Rover'ing for next year is looking better than 2011. The wife will be done with school, hopefully have a job and we will be living in the same state again. That said, I'm up for some outings. Not sure about pismo (don't think I have the will power to not jump the dunes) but all the others sound great. I would be willing to get in on some planning/leading.

LandRonB Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow, two months (almost 3 in a few weeks) into 2012; we need to plan-out our club Land Rover adventures, camping trips and/or get-to-gethers so folks can pick-n-choose and plan/budget time & money for which trips to attend. So far we have had a successful Meet-N-Greet @ Calahoula Coffee House: http://catahoulacoffee.com/ in late December; hope to do it again this year; MORGs in between, and ultra adventurous Shaver Lake Snow Run in Feb. Please post if you want to suggest a trip and/or lead a trip; good to see mixture of family oriented trips, and some difficult ones but mostly family oriented trips that even stock Land Rovers can do. So far: Jan - Nothing Scheduled Feb - Shaver Lake; Disco2guy aka Brenton Trip Leader - Scheduled Feb 10-12. Completed. Mar - Open. Anyone up for a Ski and Snow Camping @ Bear Valley on Hwy 4? April - Death Valley; Desertcrawler aka Chuck Trip Leader - Scheduled over Easter Wknd May - Pismo Beach; Lutz Trip Leader - Scheduled in May (Tentative May 18) June - Open. Perhaps Oregon Discovery trip Anyone? Or return to Shaver Lake Summer camping trip, or Voyager Rock campground @ the foot of the Dusy Ershim Trail? July - High Sierras; Christian Trip Leader - Scheduled July 27-31 Aug - Open. Last year - we did Gold Lake? Sept - Open. Last year - we did the Rubicon. Sept was perfect. Not too cold, not crowded... Oct - NCLR Annual Club Gathering @ Hollister SVRA. Oct - LR Nat'l Rally anyone? Nov - Open. Lost Coast anyone? Dec - Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNelson Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 For March I would LOVE to snowboard and go off-roading! Haven't snowboarded yet, but have all the gear. My husband, Soren, will be in from Korea from 12ish March til the end of March, and will love to join us. Are we able to have this about the 24th? I don't want to be alone, if possible. Woohoo!!!

Jen Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm up for a rerun to the Lost Coast, the lower region, ala two years ago. Veterans day weekend still works for me. I would even be willing to co-lead this trip with someone. I'm also up for short weekend trips in the 3-4 hour range from the bay area.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
