LandRonB Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Got it. Michele and I are both taking off on Friday so we'll probably head out earlier. Although our departure time also is packing-dependant. I've yet to figure out how I'm going to secure the saw. It's sort of an odd shape w/o it's storage case, but the case is HUGE, so I'm leaning toward just throwing on the bar cover and carrying it that way. I also need to decide if I'm going to take the 3 or the 6 gallon extra tank. Honestly, I don't think I'll need it at all given I alreay have the 5 on the bumper and I have to head into town one night to drop Michele off at the airport. I may just skip the 2nd tank. Livin' life on the edge! I'd bring 3 so you can make room for the chain saw Joking set aside, I am confirming if Rupert is bringing is trailer and if he is, will check if he has room. Also on Tuesday night camping, we are less than 3 miles away form hwy 230 and need to investigate if there's a local gas station. Some are not reliable (open and close when the owners decide) reason why we started last reliable fueling is in Bend, OR and next will be Thursday night camping at Hyatt Campground. Let's calculate the miles from Big Lake to Hyatt and see what we get; when I did my calculation, I should have enough plus my 2 spare cans? And for Rupert, pulling a trailer means lower mpg to factor in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROVRMAN2 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hey Rupert; if you know the mount, I can swing by HRO and grab the parts and bring them up your way... it's just down the street from me.1) on the ham mount pic, the brass thread goes thru the hole on the left and tightened to the brass mount in next pic that was cross threaded.2) the pic on right show the base of the ham antenna on left and on the right is the base of the CB antenna with the cross threaded brass mount. Notice the diameter of the center hole which is screwed to the brass bolt in pic 1.Its a NMO antenna.Call me if you have any questionsThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 do you know if any of the camp grounds have a small store? or is it once we hit the trail we're on our own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlysonH Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 do you know if any of the camp grounds have a small store? or is it once we hit the trail we're on our own?No stores at the camps as they are pretty remote. I think our final fuel stop has a store neaby.. Ron or Jared can confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the threads on the piece in the first photo still good? If there is damage, it could simply cross-thread again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 do you know if any of the camp grounds have a small store? or is it once we hit the trail we're on our own? The final campground at Hyatt Lake looks well-populated and may have a small store. The other campsites are highly unlikely to have a store. However, if you review the trail maps, you will see that we pass through areas that may have services. Waypoint 59 is near Twin Lake Resort, which has a store mentioned. Additionally, waypoint 80 is at the Crescent Lake Junction (I-58) where commercial services will be available. I didn't see much other than that...

DHappel Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Are you still pulling a trailer? I think you will be the only; Enrique is not bringing his trailer. If you are still, let us know if you haveroom for a chainsaw, I saw Don posted about figuring out space for it.I think I'll be fine with the saw. I'll put it up on the roof rack with a cable lock. Can't have my new Husky go walkabout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Got it. Folks, I know it's hard to think about donations when you still have to pack but let me know who's able to bring used tools, new toolsand construction supplies (small) e.g. box of nails, paint (white)... Michal said he has used tool drawer to donate. I have some also plug gift cardsome Home Depot. Can I get a response form those who can, and those who can't no worries.smallRon, from your note I was thinking of picking up some Home Depot gift cards but a quick search shows there are no HDs in the area of Weed. Not sure that's such a good idea after all. Bummer that just last week I dropped off a bag of clothing at my local GoodWill. I'll be bringing something, but I'm not sure what as yet.

I looked into that unit. I bet the price is worth the peace of mind alone. Just went grocery shopping. The LR3 spent the night in the shop. I had a cracked thermostat housing and some coolant was leaking. She is done now and read to go. I'll pikher up first thing in the morning and start packing.
