    I always drive the limit too. Sometimes even higher. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Is the light cover enforcement a socal thing? I never see anyone up here with covers, especially on bars. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Yeah, I can't remember ever having a mosquito problem East of the mountains. It's tinder dry most of the time out there. Work is sending me on the road next Monday, so looks like my decision is made for me. Have fun! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Welcome Norcal or Socal? Coast or inland... Region will matter, enforcement often varies a lot. I've never had any warning about my lights, but I know opinion on that isn't uniform, and I haven't been pulled over in my rig yet.

    I did try to raise you on Ham. Did you ever hear anything? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    8/5 - Signal Peak

    Sorry I couldn't make it. The road from Bowman to 20 has a bridge out, it didn't seem like a good idea to do it twice to make the run. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    What color? If someone doesn't want the annex, I might be interested. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    8/5 - Signal Peak

    Are you going to be on FRS or Ham in case I'm trying to raise you? My plan right now is to head to Bowman Lake tomorrow and set up camp there. My one big worry is that it will be so crowded I can't leave the site on Saturday morning for risk I'll lose my spot. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Yeah, I've got all the levers you can have. Atrac, lockers in the rear, crawl. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    I'm on 31s and a 3" lift. Is this going to be passable for me? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Eclipse camping - Bend OR

    Yeah. It's super dry out east of the range. A ban on fires makes sense to me. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Eh, I know Bend pretty well and I wanted to get up there anyway. But I agree it may be the worst time to visit. I may have the range to make it up to Redmond and back without ever filling up in OR :)

    I'm kind of hoping to depend on the fact most folks will want camp sites with facilities, etc unless they are a hard core camper or overlander. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Yeah. This is why I'm thinking Eastern Oregon rather than Portland or NorCal. Just too much risk of clouds near the ocean. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Honestly, when I look at the simulator, it doesn't seem worth getting north of Bend.

    You don't have to be right on the center line to see totality - from the Oregon map, it looks like as long as you're a bit north of Redmond (which is the next town above Bend), you'll see it. "The path of totality is a relatively thin ribbon, around 70 miles wide, that will cross the U.S. from...

    Man that's a good point. I'll want to fill up the rotopax before I get there. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Eclipse camping - Bend OR

    I'm thinking about driving up from SF to Bend to see the total eclipse on August 21. Is anyone else going up that way? Apparently Oregon is expecting so many visitors they've authorized deploying the national guard... Since we are fine primitive camping I've been thinking about avoiding any...

    What boots do members wear

    I wear Keen Hiking boots. Good sticky rubber for grip on rocks and shake, waterproof and a toe cap for some extra protection. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
