Family friendly overland trailer trip to Usal Beach (2 nights), Klamath River (2 nights) and Horse Ridge. This trip is organized around those with trailers, but all overlanders are welcome to join in. Campfires most nights and possibly a potluck or two. Days will be organized on the fly...

So, we have a Black Series HQ15 trailer (6k lbs) towed by a Ford Ranger (6k lbs). The trailer bogs us down in the sand pretty quickly, so looking for guidance on whether or not we should attend. We have camped a few times in the Preserve, just off of Kelbaker either just below White Fang or in...

Unsure of current rates for others - I am paying $150/mo., but can turn it off at the end of any billing cycle, then restart when needed again (partial month charge). We typically keep it on except the winter holidays, as we hunker down then with family, etc. We've been with them for several...

Welcome aboard! It has been a game changer for us in so many ways. Really came through a couple of weeks back as we negotiated tow truck rescue and lodging after breaking down on Kavanaugh Ridge. Dozens of phone calls and web lookups while on the mountain. Allowed us to negotiate what would...

What a grand adventure! Can hardly wait to hear more :-)

32062 looks like fun - you might encounter some US Marines. Hope all goes well :-)

Hi Jim, I'm sure Gwendolyn will do her best to make the weekend fun! I know she likes HAM and has her APRS up & running. 146.460

Hope you are all better soon Emerson!

Hello Friends, The trip is on! Should be great weather, with chance of brief afternoon thundershowers. Sadly, my exuberance last week on Kavanaugh Ridge has my truck stuck in the shop, so I won't be able to join you. Gwendolyn Van Der Lynden, an intrepid overlander and fan of all things...

I know we mostly just meet at the park once a month and don't otherwise hang out much at Pleasanton Regional, but thought you'd enjoy seeing this......

Alas, no Janet or me tomorrow - I am helping a long time friend in his campaign for city council and his kickoff is tomorrow at the same time as our meeting. Looking forward to seeing many of you at Leavitt next weekend! Cheers, D

Hi, apologies for the late reply - just returned from a trip to Kavanaugh Ridge. Your friend Ken is very welcome and it should be a great time for all :-) Most rigs will be able to make the last section in about 30 minutes - there is a bit of off-camber negotiating through some water cuts and...

i am a maybe - would like a bit more info. We have a '21 Black Series HQ15 that we've dragged 52k miles with our Ranger pickemup, all the way from the tip of Baja to the Arctic Ocean, with quite a bit of off-roading in between. We're always on the lookout for other overlanding trailer people...

Hi - the meetup is actually at the lake, but I'd be happy to come down to the highway and join you for the last couple of miles anytime Thursday PM or later. Janet and I plan to arrive at the turnoff from 108 around 1pm on Thursday, August 15, and plan to make the lake by 3pm (we're always...

Yes - the road was quite passable as of last week. 4x4 high clearance recommended, but I spoke with a family at the lake and their full size truck camper had no issues other than having to wait for the truck to settle a couple of time before proceeding. We'll be dragging our trailer so expect...

Will look forward to next time :-)

Hi Team, Kent just posted advance info on the October Trail Guardian event: Mojave National Preserve Trail Guardian October 24-27, 2024

Hello Friends :blush:, Took a run up to Leavitt Lake yesterday to check the road and lake conditions. The road is quite passable, but ongoing erosion now makes 4x4 and high clearance recommended. One creek crossing was a bit sharp, so decent departure angle useful, although my Ford Fn Ranger...

Oh, and here's a link and pic of the thermal camera I use to check on the changes I make to ensure nothing is heating up too much. Any of you are welcome to borrow mine or check it out on one of our trips. TOPDON TC001 Thermal Camera for Android, 256x192 IR High Resolution, Thermal Imaging...

A couple of folks expressed interest in the temperature controlled 12v relay that I mentioned during Armin's excellent presentation yesterday. Here are some deets and pics: W1209 controller - - if OB mungs the link, search HiLetgo 2pcs W1209 with Case 12V DC Digital Temperature Controller...
