TigerDan Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Your choice, actually. Most folks tent camp right on the snow, but there are usually a couple of tent trailers...Enrique brought his the first year, Colin brought his last year. I was planning to bring mine but being by myself it's easier just to tent camp or, now that I have the platform in the Rover, just sleep in the back of it. There are hookups at every campsite, if you bring the tent trailer you can run the heater. Some people bring heaters for inside their tents, and some just bundle up and brave it. On a side note Chuck, you coming to Dickens this year? Call me, or PM me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNelson Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Can there be a second shaver lake run?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPittl Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm in for this trip. First time it actually works with my calendar...have always wanted to go on this trip. Question: I've got some decent all-terrains and snow experience but should I be thinking about a set of knobbies for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerDan Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 My first trip was on BGF AT/TAs...they did great once I aired them down. But the more aggressive the tread, the better, especially with a heavier vehicle like an LR3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPittl Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 there is no way chains would clear my control arms without a set of spacers. i sometimes rub as it is already. let me see what i can do before Feb. thanks for the tips. cheers!

Disco2Guy Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ok, no worries on the chains. Sasquatch might be able to give you some LR3 tips for the run. I think the best thing he did for traction was to keep airing down. I'm not sure how low he eventually got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was under 15psi. Close to 12 or 13. It's difficult to air down this low AND have chains on. Too much deflection. Shaver requires more floatation than cutting through to a hard pack iced section. Save your money on spacers and chains and bring more booze!

Disco2Guy Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I got a call from Camp Edison on Thursday confirming my campsite 227. Sasquatch has one of the spots, so that makes 2 more available for 227. Elliott has a hold on 229, and is full of SoCal people. We need at least 2 more campsites reserved just to cover the people who are attending. If more of the interested people become confirmed we'll need at least 3 campsites reserved.

So would that be a no go or is it worth it? Land rover sells chains for the LR3 so I'm guessing it'll fit the stock set up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land rover sells chains for the LR3 so I'm guessing it'll fit the stock set up, right? Chains trough LR sounds like an expensive option. What tires do you have now? TBH, I've never used chains on this trip. And unless we start getting some rain, there's not going to be much snow to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I missed it...are the campsites going to be reserved for the group and we just pay you when we get there or should I call today and reserve my own camping spot? I should have a full truck w/ 3-4 jokers coming with me. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have a full truck w/ 3-4 jokers coming with me. Cheers! Only one person can reserve one campsite. I asked Colin to send a reservation, but I'm pretty sure we need at least one more, I'll check the numbers. If you can send in a reservation request we should be covered for those who have confirmed. The limit is 4 trucks or 8 people per site. If you need more info just post up, or give me a call. 6 5 6 7 3 8 6 in the 415 area code. edit:Just checked the Google Doc. Right now you're in Colin's campsite, but I need to check that he has a reservation. The next person to confirm for the trip would need to reserve a camp site. You could still send in your reservation request as there a few more people that are interested and will probably join. Remember you can only submit your reservation request through fax or snail mail, they won't do it over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
