Elherbinator Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Instead of doing a typical MORG for January we are going to join in on the Cal4wheel fun and attend the Winter Fun Festival! It looks like we should be getting some decent snow coming, so we should have enough to make the run fun. This event does require registration and also requires choosing the run you want to go on when you register. Check out the info I’ve included and reply to this post if you plan on attending and your opinion on which run you would like to do. The plan will be for us to choose a run or runs that we will do as a group. Of course if you really want to do a different run than the rest of us, you’re more than welcome to do that but it would more fun if we all did the event together. If you haven’t been to a Cal4wheel event or an off-road event outside of our club stuff, this would be a cool experience and look into the larger wheeling community. Please reply with any interest or questions, it would be good to get a good dialogue going on this thread.

Andrew Wood Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I signed up for winter fun festival. I'm planning on camping at the fair grounds. Jethro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mffoster Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’m up for this as long as a few more club members go - looks like Andrew is already set, I would camp in the same area. Would like to do any of the deep snow runs, limited to the 33” tire class. Jethro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BlueSky Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 This looks like all the fun. If we were going to be around - we'd be there. Definitely marking the calendar for next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mffoster Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Signed up for the run. Applied for the same trails (with additional info asking to go with 33s), we’ll see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mffoster Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Asked for permission to run a 35” tire trail, was rejected as I pretty much expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I’ll email Donna and get switched to Siberian. All the same to me. Of course another solution would be to step up to 35’s 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 So I called Donna, Andrew and I are now good to go for the Siberian run. If anyone else wants to join us, sign up right away. There are only a handful of spots left for the Siberian run. 4 other runs have already filled up. This is not the type of event you can procrastinate on. Mr.BlueSky and RobertDingli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 So my new ring and pinions have been shipped from Ashcroft, but won’t arrive until next week. I am going to be installing the gears myself, so it won’t be done for the trip and I certainly won’t have time to get them broken in for freeway speeds by then. So I’ll be roverless, may still go up there and crash with Andrew since I already paid for registration and a shirt. Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mffoster Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I’ll have an open seat to ride in my truck as well if you want. Elherbinator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted January 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 The Winter Fun Fest has been postponed due to too much snow. Sounds odd, but it is what it is. Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted January 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Since the Winter Fun Fest isn’t going on this month, we don’t officially have a trip until the Shaver Snow Run in February. I don’t have an operational Rover, so I can’t lead a trip, but many of you all do! So I encourage anyone looking to get out to start a new trip thread. It can be an overnight or a day run. A snow trip or something like Hollister or Bug Sur. If you haven’t lead a trip before, this is your chance. It doesn’t much to do, just a small bit of planning. Feel free to DM me for any help or advice, or you can just post up a thread and get input from the members. Taking to you Andrew, Mike, Robert, Nick, Gus… lutz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRYA Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I was originally interested in the snow fest but I'm a D4 with 265/65/18s so not sure my tire size even qualified for their category of runs. Plus in reading the fine print on the fair grounds, it did indicate no car camping or tents, but trailers only. Not sure if that's the actual scenario at the fairgrounds or not, but that's they put online so that didn't work for me. Did others notice this or have some other experience with camping there?
