Maxxis makes fantastic products, and are big in the competitive off road racing. You'll see Maxxis' everywhere if you go to a Baja Rally or King of the Hammers. I only run Maxxis tires on my mountain bikes and had a pair of Razr ATs on my previous rig (LX570). The MTs were relatively quiet...

Some of the things we saw/experienced on days 3 & 4 included a visit to the top of Mills Peak fire lookout, a trip to upper Sardline Lake, tons of views of Lakes Basin, a visit to Sierra Buttes lookout, and a drive through historic downtown Downieville. We didn't get a chance to visit Alleghany...

It is a proprietary route from overland Trail Guides. Just sharing the deets from the trip, GPX is behind a paywall.

Day 2 Our neighbor atop his ATV came by camp shortly after 9am as he'd promised. He'd sifted through the buckets of dirt the kids collected, and claimed to have found a few gold flakes in the gravel. He gave one of the kids the flakes in a glass bottle. The kids were all super stoked they'd...

Tahoe BDT is a nice option, I'd also recommend checking out the Plumas BDT, Lassen BDT, and Mendocino BDT. For the lassen BDT, jump on at hwy 36 and head north to avoid the dixie fire burn scar. For the plumas section, I'd use the historical fire map layer in Gaia GPS to figure out which...

This past July, we set out on the Lost Sierra Trail with a small group of friends. I'd driven (or ridden on my mountain bike) the vast majority of this trail in bits and pieces, but never as one cohesive route. In an effort to spice things up a bit, I decided to alter the original route and take...

It's the same section of trail along M1 that has caused the road to fail just about every wet season over the last 3-4 years-- and here we go again! Hoping the forest service figures out a reroute around that slide-prone section. There used to be an old road that went down to Howard Lake about...

Even though I visit Mendocino NF more frequently than just about anywhere else, for whatever reason, I hadn't done the BDT in a single trip. Typically, we'd do bits and pieces and explore new areas along the way. Before covid hit, you could drive for hours without seeing anyone in the forest...

Snow should be a non-issue come April. :)

sold today.

I'm walking the dog and doing text to type apologies for the typos hopefully it makes sense

Hey one other thing I noticed you have this in the southwest region I would put it in the west region which is what California falls under. Loadit up into guy or whatever app you're using and you'll see that the alternative route doesn't out and back to eureka dunes skipping to dedeckera...

@Jeep n Joe Ben here from OTG. Not sure on the exact route you're taking, but you might try Hidden Valley as an alternative to Homestake camp (if you were planning to camp over that way), which is part of the route. Not too many folks over that way, so you should probabbly be able to secure...

Selling my 2009 Lux Cruiser, which has been a fantastic overlanding / expedition vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in fall 2019 with 98k miles in bone stock condition and built it out from there. It's super reliable, rugged, and quite capable off road. I needed more space so I went to a full size...

You're welcome to arrive to the campground whenever you like! If you want to head out right now, go for it. Or if you've got work like I do, feel free to roll in later tonight. I should be at the campground sometime between 7-8pm depending on traffic.
