Nor Cal Wheeling, Camping and BS - 2018

Going to puts around at PC tomorrow at 11 am if anyone is interested. Meeting a friend / coworker with his new 100 series.
 
So what's this mean for this weekend? Are you predicted we may be boned? I'd still like to drive out there just to see since it can change. Unless you have more knowledge on the subject?

I ran Strawberry ~3 weeks after rochmpr. The gate was opened and that sign was removed.
 
Well, PC was kind of a bust. Half of the area was closed. [MENTION=215689]SilverTEP[/MENTION] joined in tho. Only there for about an hour, so $5 an hour.

Same spot, I just kept it grounded.

Every time I go there they are either partially closed or completely closed.
 
Hadn't been there in like 15 years. Realized I hadn't missed much.

Obv no challenge for rochmpr, but best off road you get around sac town. Great place to test out your setup. Although we got screwed that 1/2 of the SUV off road was shut down, and the steps which I've been working on.

Oh well, the pyramid is still there, the mud is coming, and it will make all of this more fun. Can't belive both of my wheels left the ground on that shot!

Those are some great shots.
 
Jesus. Yeah your hands look full. I have an open seat at the shotgun position if you're interested. I think I remember you saying you're not in the sac area at the moment tho. Let us know if it changes.
 
While we're on the subject, all you long distance travelers be sure to leave early and don't hold up the show! Thanksgiving weekend could be a disaster on the road. Maybe not Saturday but who knows.

And let's be careful and slow on the trail agreed? Let's learn from others' ummm how shall we say difficulties? ^^^
We all are driving these things home afterward.

Gonna be a F-ing blast! The 4Reak is officially loaded and anxiously awaiting some dirt and dust. If anyone needs to get ahold of me: 70seven 28zero 5zero23

Happy and safe holidays to everyone

After last night, dust may not be an issue.
 
Looks like some fun in the mud Saturday.

OK... so here are the details for the trail run Sat. Nov. 24th ...
(Yeah, I know its Thanksgiving weekend... but for anyone around that wants to meet up and enjoy the day...)

The plan is to run Strawberry Canyon 4WD Trail (17e73), from the South (from HWY88/ Caples Lake) to the North (to HWY50). NFS says its open and I know some on here have recently run it. I'll be planning to take it nice and slow and enjoy the day. Nothing crazy.


7:15 AM First meet up at Starbucks in El Dorado Hills (address: 4311 Town Center Blvd #450, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762)

7:30 AM to ~ 9:45 AM Caravan to pre-trail run rally point. Rally point will be the Caples Lake Maintenance station on Schneider Cow Camp Rd (38.707831, -120.039152). (Note, I will likely stop to top off my gas tank at Kirkwood, so I built a little time in for that.) We will air down and what not here before hitting the dirt.

Around 10:00 AM We will leave the maintenance station to run the trail.

Trail is something like 10-13 miles long depending on where you start counting from ... and from what I've read takes 3 ish hours depending on stops and what not ... So, we should be off the trail / back to HWY 50 early-ish afternoon (2pm? 3pm?)

Bring your CB / FRS, own food / water / snacks, recovery gear, etc. Be prepared for fall / winter weather. Ill be bringing my recovery gear ... but the more diversity & backup the better.

Going:
[MENTION=127339]4Reak Show[/MENTION]
[MENTION=215689]SilverTEP[/MENTION]
[MENTION=166093]RDOOGZ89[/MENTION]
[MENTION=208209]dride[/MENTION]?
[MENTION=144752]MarkamisPrime[/MENTION] +1

If you can make it:
[MENTION=157695]theoutbackdream[/MENTION] (riding shotgun :D)
[MENTION=173212]dietsoap[/MENTION] (make it happen!)

If anyone else wants to join... post up or PM me so we can keep an eye out for you.

I appreciate the offer man, but yeah.. I got to get this fixed since my parents aren't too happy that it's broken right now. LOL.

Will let you guys know
 
What’s the total damage ??

Ehh...

CV boots, tie rods, emergency brake is binding, suspension is binding, all skid plates ****ed.. more to come.

Here's a pic of before and after.. the lower link mount was bend in so much that my suspension was binding. :rofl:
