Disco2Guy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I keep thinking about this trip too, forgetting that I need to get the Shaver trip in order first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertcrawler Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Ok -- I'm thinking of starting out at the Sherrif's place -- doing some runs in Northern Nevada (outside the park) --then on the back half heading to Scotty's -- then doing Chloride Cliffs & Inyo Pass again -- and cutting across Warm Springs Canyon via Striped Butte -- heading down and over Goler Wash to exit...still need to figure out if there'd be enough time to exit via Lippencott or Steele... Cerro Gordo sounds fun too. My biggest worry is snow that time of year, so we will need to stay flexible and hope for a dry winter. I need a month to hit everywhere I want to go.

ROVRMAN2 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Are the trails trailer friendly? If the stars align correctly, I may join with my trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertcrawler Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Not sure they are really trailer friendly. Some narrow spots, some rock crawling. Depends on the trailer, I guess, but I'd be worried about slowing down the convoy if there were issues... Are the trails trailer friendly? If the stars align correctly, I may join with my trailer.

El Solis Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ok so what the official trips dates? I tried looking through the thread but so many dates tossed around. I'm planning on being up and running for the feb and match morgs to get some miles in before this trip. Test out all the new additions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Excited about the trip. Nathan, I will probably be bringing JT, my 4yo son, who loved playing in the mud and dirt with Gryphon at the Aug MORG. Rob brought this excellent article to my attention today.

Teds Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 What about the L322?? It needs to get dirty too. Really, you are thinking about brining a jeep to a rover event???@#!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLOHybrid Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 What about the L322?? It needs to get dirty too. SOLD Really, you are thinking about brining a jeep to a rover event???@#!?? I know weird and for me especially seeing as I have been into Rovers my entire life but it was a trade in @ work and I love the look of the JK so that is currently my offroader until I become sick of it. It is not just the Vehicles @ NCLR it is the friendships gained too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Solis Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 No rover no friendship Kidding of course. I'm just hoping my rig is A: put back together and B: survives some shakedown trips as I have not been all that fortunate in surviving these trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLOHybrid Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 whoah! the thought of joining a local Jeep club is daunting! No rover no friendship Kidding of course.

LandRonB Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It is not just the Vehicles @ NCLR it is the friendships gained too. Jeep. What a surprise! It's like Piers Morgan buying a handgun; total surprise; lol - j.k. Sure you are welcome to bring the Jeep; will just put you at the far end of group photos - easy to crop. J/k again.

LandRonB Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Am just about to pull the trigger on a new Warn Zeon Winch but do not want to burn it up pulling you guys out (ring a bell Ron?) We've done two of the most difficult trails in California in a group together (excellent trips by the way and great spotting Nathan): Dusy, and Rubicon Trail. I don't recall you burning a winch; jog my memory. Was it @ the Dusy Thompson Hill, or Rubicon Buck Island Lake area or perhaps Cadillac Hill?
