CA Hwy 167, Central Nevada, Berlin-Icthyosaur State Park to Golden King mine to Peavine Canyon. For those of you who always wondered about the view out a Series Land Rover.
I'd just caution that those are loooong distances and make plenty of allowance for travel time. Maybe skip a park and stay a day at one of maximum interest. Unless you are going on day hikes most of Zion and Bryce are drive thru as is Crater, Visitor Center and drive around stopping for a happy...
Pick a destination or 2 and look for things to see in the area, then gooooooooooooooooooooooooooogleEarth looking for dirt roads radiating away from said destination, Check youtube for videos of your chosen area, For example; search; offroad trails Ely Nevada to Salt Lake City. Become a...
Looks like a nice Honeymoon, we went to the Grand Canyon for ours. I generally plan my mileage at 50 mph, so a 300 mile day is 6 hours travel time. I have done mega miles on my motorcycle and my Rover, got the job done but was very tiring. As is said so often, make it about the journey not the...
5 gallon bucket, plastic bags, kitty litter. An old time backpacker taught me, don't dig a cathole, flip over a rock, do your duty, then put the rock back, covering the tp and all.
Well, I am home now, my place is on the East side of Hwy 9 in Boulder Creek and so far the fire has not crossed 9. Neighborhood is still zoned "warning to evacuate" as opposed to evacuate. The CZU fire is still smoldering and frelling high temps this weekend 112F on Sunday, with calm winds, our...
I'm OK, sad about the stuff I left behind, but I got my 109 out and am hopefull all is going to be well. The latest map I saw the fire skirted my neighborhood, probably due to firefighters.
I have slowly been shifting to Pelican and Nanuk cases, keeping an eye on local Craigslist. I got a 1650 case and loaded it up and went camping, the damn thing was so heavy almost got a hernia every time I lifted it back into the back of the Rover. If you go the hard case route stick to 1600...
I like the Rubbermaid Action packers, I would call them very water resistant as opposed to waterproof as there is no seal, but the lid goes down over the edge of the body. Same for dust. Lockable and the lock holes are in the lid locking handles can be used as a tiedown. What I don't like is the...
I saw a homemade fire pit somewhere made from an ammo can. Quick goooooooooooooooogle search came up with this; Small Project: DIY Ammo Can propane fire pit.| Builds and Project Cars forum |
I like in the comments section someone wanting to make one out of a NATO can.
Fremont Peak above Hollister Hills
Drive up to Mt Hamilton
In non covid times; Henry Coe by Gilroy, park, hike and camp, can't say what the open/closed policy is now.
The Pinnacles
Drive to Panoche and get a sandwich if they are open
Of course Trona Pinnacles or Death Valley are a day drive...
I have a Rhino Batwing 270. I set it up at home 3 times all went well. I went to Nevada and set it up and 2 of the hinges broke. Fortunately I had brought the spares and was able to effect repairs. Upon Contacting Rhino I was told there was a bad batch of hinges made that were not cured...
Sorry I can't give you any dispersed info. I have stayed at the park in Dayton, it was nice and not crowded 5 years ago. You don't say where on the Carson you are looking to go. I did find a sweet camping area although in a NVSP at Walker River State rec area; Walker River State Recreation Area...
