Another overlander told me Wildrose Road is closed. They got past the first gate, but had to turn around at the second gate which cost them three hours of wasted time and frustration. This impacts the trip route. I think the canyn section of the road is closed, so we can't go from the Wildrose...

Might have one more interested in the 4/7-4/9 trip. We'll see if he can swing it.

It was a mini blizzard while we were there. The wind ruined it for us.

My DIY limb risers: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/jeep-jk-limb-risers.13846/

Made my own JK limb risers. Went to Lowes and spent $22 on parts. For the hood latch tab, I used a steel plate from a large U-bolt. The cable was clear vinyl covered 3/16" aircraft cable. Grabbed some lockable links to allow for disconnecting the limb risers. Added the cable clamps and aluminum...

@punk I might be interested in a DV trip the weekend of 4/7. The 7th-9th works for me. Tired of snow.

Next time. No worries. Two rigs for sure will be there. Waiting to hear from @NorCalZR2.

Not going to pull punches folks, the weather will suck. Off and on rain, followed by rain/snow/cold. I'm still going, but I understand if others bail out. I could use company of course, but if it's a solo trip...so be it. If you do go, bring wet weather gear and appropriate shoes that can...

Yep. Car never gets turned off at all. Idles for hours on end if call volume is slow (weekday wee hours). No issues at all.

Roll call, who's going and on what day/time? I'm heading up Fri morning from the south bay. Once I get a roll call, we can start a private convo to exchange names and cell phones.

For those that went up there, did you get any cell service? If so, what carrier?

@RAWags thanks for the recon run! Great intel right there. The conditions look to be what I expected. 4H in my Jeep should get it done withought issue. Looks like my shovel will get a workout to clear away some snow at the site.

ZR2 has a front locker, so you're good. I have a winch and recovery tools. Shouldn't need it though.

I'll be hanging a few chem lights on trees so those arriving after dark know where to turn off from the main road. I expect snow on the ground, but with all the rain it could get muddy/slushy. Unfortunately, it's going to rain on us Fri/Sat. At night, it might get cold enough to lightly snow...

You should have a battery isolator switch to protect your starter battery. That way, when the the voltage hits a certain threhold on the main starter battery, it switches to your auxilliary battery and will allow you to run that one to zero while protecting the main battery.

Next weekend, Fri-Sun at Pinnacle Rock in Mendocino forest. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/central-northern-california-trip-ideas-winter.12943/page-2

This community is strong. Our ethos is noble and validated. I don't think anything that fake idiot said, posted, commented, or otherwise has an impact on any of us or what we do. He's essentially irrelevant and his arguments have no merit. I didn't know about this fake guy until Michael posted...

Hell yes brother! Come on out. Fri night through Sun noon camp trip. Prepare for some light snow. Dress accordingly. Bring water, food, alcohol (if so inclined), and whatever else you need. I bring a lot, so I can cover some needs but not all. I'm leaving for the site Fri late morning before...
