I just got out of the military and moved back to El Dorado County. My previous station (Minot, ND) really didn't offer much as far as camping and 4 wheeling is concerned. Snow wheeling was almost a daily occurrence, but that's a story for another time. Anyways, I bought and began building my FJC with the knowledge that I'd return home and go exploring. Well that event finally occurred when I attended Moon Rocks 2017 this weekend. The event was clearly meant for Rock Crawling rigs and I thoroughly enjoyed watching truck after truck attempt to drive over what I previously considered impossible obstacles.
I never gave Nevada the credit it deserves because the area and terrain were stunning. The event was tucked away in a small valley which made it seem completely cut off from the outside world. On the sides of the surrounding hills and mountains was a spiderweb network of trails that were frequently explored by motorcyclist, ATV riders and even Col Mustard (My FJC) and I. When the day was done I simply slept right inside my vehicle which was certainly "doable" but it exposed a lot of problems (no interior 5th door handle?!) and got my creativity flowing again. Looking into building an overlanding trailer. We'll see.
Anyways, I had fun last weekend.
