Fordyce run June 8

4:30...sippin' coffee...I'm ready 😎

4Runner is packed, oatmeal is cooked, and buying gas station coffee. See you guys in a few hours.

Jeeps packed. I'm leaving in a few minutes to go pick up my passenger.

I think everyone is home or close to being home by now. Great Run! Details and pictures will be posted tomorrow or sooner.

I'm home. What a great day! 😎

What a great day.



I'll post pics tomorrow.



My damage:



1 cut valve stem and a few dozen skeeter bites.

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! 😎

I made it.....Doors were still there, changed my Tire. Thanks Dan for plugn' it for me. Great run! I'll post what pics I have later.



I'm gonna go hose the rig out now. 😂

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. 😂 😂 😂 😂

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. 😲 😂 😂

So, how much mud is in your cab?

Did you guys run to Meadow? The weather sure was nice!

Yup. We ran all the way through. 😀

Did you run back down the trail or out to the highway from Meadow?

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 😉

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. 😳

Ha...beat you 😀

I thought for sure, by now, somebody would have mentioned the Jeep being strapped by a Toyota, or the tsunami wave that tried to take out Rob. 😂 😂 😂

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?

I was laughing soo hard 😂 Now I live in fear of pay-back 😲

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.
