    Plumas NF BDT (Back Then...)

    At one point in history, Slate Creek was diverted through a tunnel to allow for mining. According to the PDF of the BDT we should have seen that structure on the hillside above the current day creek levels. This was to be an indicator of where the previous level of the creek was in that day and...

    According to the mapped out route, we needed to take road 512 and connect to 690. Just after Howland Flat, we would turn right on 800 and end up at Poker Flat. This was the plan, and so we made our way out of La Porte and quickly found a sign that pointed us in the right direction, a sign that...

    La Porte feels like an old place. The history dates the town to a time before the creation of the State of California, and there has been human hunter-gatherer and tribal villages here a lot longer. When the miners first arrived here to exploit one of the forks of the Yuba River for its rich...

    Some quick navigational inputs were made into the controls of the ∩OV Serenity, and we were returned to a course that would intersect La Porte Rd. Once reached, we took a right and we were finally pointed in the direction of the wild that we seek. The unintended adventure created by following...

    Plumas NF BDT (Back Then...)

    After our brief respite at the lake, we continued on to La Porte and the start of the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trial. Once again, our Googleometer and it's outstanding apps added a thrilling side trek to the adventure, to test our resolve and our navigational control of the newly donned ∩OV...

    PICTURE HEAVY!!!! 56K KILLER!!! (i know that doesn't exist any more) ** I originally posted this over a ridiculously long span in October of 2017, over on another forum. I'm pasting the original thread, so it may read a bit off sometimes. It is a toothy read, forewarning. I have tried to include...

    Figured a few pics of the ol' adventure rig in action. She's a wonderful home on wheels, though I think we are gonna sell her for something with a bit more gas mileage (for now). Plans to upgrade to a diesel powered puller/adventure rig in the next year or so.

    'ello from NorCal

    Hola folks. Decided to finally expand my online overland forum patronage. I don't get over the land as much as I'd like, but plans are in the works :winkyfacething:. I like to make long winded posts with way to many pictures, usually inappropriately sized for your screen. If I'm allowed, I'll...

    First timer. Don't think I can post rig pics. 1994 Dodge 2500 LD 5.2l magnum stock Somewhere in North Cali, for now. I've posted elsewhere, but probably have read up all their interesting content and don't particularly like change, so not super thrilled with the new forum layout they adopted...
