The best part was finding out that Dan H can handle his Jeep as well as his keyboard 😛

Everyone did a great job. It was a long trip but well worth it.

Awesome run! I'll get my pics up tonight.

Nice job by norcal! 16, driving a new truck and ran Fordyce with a little spotting and a few stacked rocks. Didn't even have to think about a strap. Made us Toyota drivers look good! 8)

Norcal, I followed you for most of the day and I have to say, you are a natural. You amazed me plenty of times. I guess all that RC crawling has paid off. 😀
So, how bad did you scare your Dad? I saw him white knuckling quite a bit. lol lol lol lol

You probably had the roughest day out of all of us. I'm glad you made it up for the run. Your wife probably won't let you play with us anymore though, every time you wheel with us, it costs money. 😯 lol lol
So, how much mud is in your cab?

Yup...we ran all the way through and out to Truckee. Great weather but the bugs were horrible. The trail was in great shape except the occasional mud hole (but all were driveable). The squeeze on #3 is getting DEEP! We met a group at the top of #4 heading down. They told us it wasn't passable after the lake because of snow. We chanced it and pressed on to just find it wasn't hard at all. We all ran from the lake to the highway in 2WD. Maybe that other group should buy some tire deflators wink

Thanks for all the work you guys do on that trail. It's the best one we have around here. All the trees were cleared and the only thing we had to do was pick up a few pieces of trash.

We went out to 89. We ran into a club from Nevada on WH4 who siad they couldn't get out past the lake due to 8' snow banks. 😕 We took a chance and went for it and made it out with no problems. There was a little bit of snow but, we made it in 2wd from WH5 on. There was no 8' snow banks. 🙄

Oops. John beat me to it. embarassed

Glad to hear you can make it at to the highway. We did end up moving a couple big trees but it made for a fun day. Did the Nevada group have a blue full size Ford and brownish Bronco?

No, mostly CJs and a little blue Sami. They did say they saw a small group of full sized rigs (broncos) ot the lake but we never saw them.
