Apparently I am going to visit my brother before they have kiddo #2 Seems overrated to me. I mean, lots of people have kids but how many have Rovers?

erinw.rrc Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm in. What Chevron? Nick, Cris and I are both in San Jose, so we meet at the Chevron station on Newhall across from the airport. You are more than welcome to meet us there, but not sure if it will be out of your way. -Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lithium1330 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Chevron @ 8:30 sounds good. Nick, since you're in MTV, you'll prob head over to 880 via 237?If so, maybe you can wait for us at the 76 gas station on Calaveras & S. Abbotts - it's right at the 880N on-ramp.I'm thinking we can call or radio ahead when we're a mile or so out, you'll on-ramp and we'll just catch up to you on 880N?I think that would work, right? Here is the 76 gas station: https://goo.gl/maps/R7VF8nBVTYA2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nengelbrecht6 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 That sounds like a plan! I'll be sitting there listening on 146.460. Catching up to me won't be a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I was a little worried that we may not have much turn-out for this but it looks like we'll have a few folks on-hand. Come ready for weather as there's an 80-90% chance on Saturday with temps around 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithium1330 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Getting axle deep in mud will most certainly give a sense of realism for those mock recovery efforts. And that is a great example on how you can use "realism" and "mock" in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkov Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 So my housemate bought a new Raptor that he is itching to takeoff road. Would it be alright if he joined us at Carnegie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I suppose he can, but there won't be much for him to do there. It's really a bike park with a small 4x4 obstacle course. And we won't be doing much wheeling; maybe a little play on the obstacles but mostly it's just a recovery class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally1 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'd like to join the 8:30am meet-up and caravan out to the park too. I have done one class out at Hollister, which was great fun and very useful, but devoid of any other Land Rovers. I am keen to make my first club meeting, meet the members and increase my limited knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will you be driving so we know what to look for? Cris is in a D90 and I'll be in my D4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithium1330 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 @Rally1 great to have you caravan with us!Here is google map of Chevron Erin mentioned: https://goo.gl/maps/kPuXJsTFNJN2 Bring your rain jackets and rubber ducky boots... The bay area is forecasted to get around 12+ inches of rain from Friday night through the weekend. @DHappel - is there contingency plan for severe weather delay?

The bay area is forecasted to get around 12+ inches of rain from Friday night through the weekend. @DHappel - is there contingency plan for severe weather delay? The contingency plan was to bail and go directly to Altamont Beer Works. I must admit this thought has been going through my head recently as I contemplate the forecast. I think somebody mentioned they have an easy-up they could bring. Probably a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 The radio has been giving dire warnings. Michele was just on the phone with Sacramento water district to set up a training for them in 2 weeks and they said the only worry was if they'd still be recovering from this weekend's storm. This all sounds pretty ominous. On the other hand the last time I looked at the forecast it only called for .25" in Livermore on Saturday. Perhaps I'd better look at it again...

DHappel Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 OK, I say we're still a GO on Carnegie for tomorrow. Weather Channel says it will start raining late tonight and be pretty steady until morning. At 10:00 AM Saturday - when we start - they only show 25% chance with partly cloudy skies and 54*. 11:00 is pretty much the same, then the chance of rain increases but we should be about ready to head over to Altamont Beer Works by then anyway for lunch and beverages. Still may be a good idea to bring the easy-up if we can (forget who that was - Erin?) I'll have my radio on 146.460 and my cell 510.825.5056 for anybody coming. Again, there isn't a lot to do here for wheeling, this will be a recovery seminar/demo. Maybe somebody can get properly stuck in the mud to add to the realism.

lithium1330 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The rain held out yesterday, so everyone went home with only muddy shoes and trucks. Fun recovery class yesterday. Don & Colin did a great job going through the recovery gears and demonstrated when & how to use them (winch, soft shackle, bow shackle, snatch block, diff between tow and snatch strap) on Colin's Classic.Remember kids, make sure you're in a forward gear when winching up an incline! After that, everyone drove around in the mud... then went over the Altamont Beer Works. Attached are a few pix from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
