Very true, up on Donner Pass there was still a bit, but nothing to play around in. Coming home to 85 degrees was not fun...

Are you able to actually just drive all around the reservoir and areas around it that's filled with water?

Thanks for the compliments. I've been coming up to Truckee my whole life and this was the first time I have ever been to this 4WD area, or even heard of it, so I'm not 100% sure about the rules. What I do know: The vast majority of the 4WD area is open right now, with very few closures posted. There were many people who had driven down the banks of the reservoir right up to the water to fish, and I saw cops but they didn't seem to have an issue with it. When I left I talked to some people who said that I shouldn't drive in the dry parts of the lake bed (the reservoir is super low right now), but I looked for signs stating that and couldn't find any. I think most likely they just didn't like the look and idea of people driving down there, which I guess I understand. I was really happy to find it and I'll definitely be returning to explore because its supposed to be a huge area.

Thanks, using the locker was crazy cool. I used to have a T100 which is super similar to the T4R, but this thing just handles everything so much better. I'd say the only place the T100 rises above is donuts, because there's barely any weight in the rear. My next upgrade is converting from crank windows to power windows. I wrote a little bit about how and why in another thread.
