    US West Frenchman's Lake Day Run

    Hi Bill -- Is there any dispersed camping to be had in this area? If we come up, we would have to spend the night, and the Big Cove Campground is "seasonably full".

    Cancelled July 4th Weekend at 2 Rivers Ranch

    So, the header says "30 rigs allowed," but the attendees seems full at 10 of 10. Is this event full or is there more space? Thanks, Andreas

    US West Reno Overlanding Recurring Meetings and Trail Runs Thread

    Thanks for putting together a nice synopsis, Bill. Well done! We had a great time hanging with you and the Reno Overlanders and will no doubt be back for future adventures. Thank you also to Marc for all his work in planning this trip.

    US West Ghost Town Run Labor Day Weekend

    For those who know the Silver Springs area, we will be coming in late (very late) Friday night from the Bay Area ---- is there a nice place to park the rig on Friday night and sleep a few hours? We have the Four Wheel Camper, so we're self-contained. It looks pretty barren when viewed on Google...

    Looking forward to heading back to Nevada! The Reno Overlanders always put on a good event, and we look forward to seeing you guys again. Nevada is a beautiful state for sure.

    US West High Rock Canyon

    Hi Ken -- Did you and Marc get fuel on Monday? We noticed that the Gerlack gas station was closed when we rolled by. Luckily we had plenty to get back to Fernley.

    Whose from the Bay Area? Post a pic

    From Redwood City. This is after Day 2 of this weekend's High Rock Canyon Run in the Black Rock Desert, NV with the Reno Overlanders. Not sure what the color of the truck was when we started ....

    We have some really good pictures. Do you want to start a shared album? Or where is the best place to upload them?

    US West High Rock Canyon

    Hi Everyone -- We'll be joining you this weekend. We'll be coming up from the Bay Area in our F250 and our new (to us) Four Wheel Camper. I've been up once before for a day run with you folks, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you again. My family will join on this adventure. What's the...

    Kaiser Pass Run - 06/29/2018

    Hi Charlie -- We are planning to leave with the early group. Best phone number for me is (415) 331-3858, and I have a CB in the truck. I wouldn't mind a more difficult route. That said, I have to squeeze the full-size into whatever trail we choose. As long as it's not too narrow, we...

    Kaiser Pass Run - 06/29/2018

    I talked my wife into taking Friday off, so we're happy to leave mid-morning Friday. Our camping setup takes about 1/2 hour, so I'd rather do it in daylight. If anyone else wants to leave earlier, so we can get a convoy going. We're leaving from Redwood City. Dispersed is fine. Reserved is...

    FOR SALE Overland Garage Sale! Coleman, Front Runner SF Bay

    If you still have the camp kitchen, I'll buy it. I'm in Redwood City and could swing down to San Jose if you are in that area as well. Let me know.

    Gas vs Diesel

    The one thing no one has mentioned yet, is that diesels don't like to start in really cold conditions. Heading to Alaska would cause me concern in my 2002 7.3 Superduty. If your block heater is plugged in , you're golden, but otherwise I would worry if I could leave camp in the mornings. Maybe...

    Usal Beach Team Hunt Rally - 07/28/2017

    Hi Michael -- This will be our first official Overland Bound event attendance, and we're looking forward to it. Spent last weekend in 100 degree temps in the Delta, so this might be a nice climate change. -- Andreas

    Overland Rigs and Coffee: Pleasanton, CA - 06/25/2017

    Awww .... I saw the invite on my phone this afternoon but didn't log in to read the particulars. Now the turbo is out of the truck -- replacing the factory compressor wheel with a Wicked Wheel. Would it be sacrilege to drive my "street" car instead? Andreas

    SOLD Wilco Hitchgate Classic Expo West

    Big bummer! My tailgate is 64" wide, and I'm trying to mount a 35" spare, which makes your setup is about 3-4" too short. As an aside, I see you have a FSR roof-top tent ---- how do you like it? I looked at them extensively online today. They seem to represent good value, assuming the quality...

    SOLD Wilco Hitchgate Classic Expo West

    Hi -- I am interested in your tire carrier. This is the center-mount, right? How wide does this swing? I would be trying to put it onto my F250, and it's pretty wide .... I would normally choose the off-center mounted version to get the clearance, but maybe yours would work. Do you happen to...
