Anyone want to join a last minute easy drive through Walker Ridge overlooking the Indian Reservoir tomorrow? Starts on Bear Valley Road onto Bartlett Springs for 2.8 miles until you turn onto Walker Ridge Rd.

Total mileage is 14 miles
Difficulty rating is a 1. In fact you can drive it in 2wd.
 
When is this happening?

I just got back. I got slapped with a hail storm. It was so bad I had ice pack on my truck and the ground looked like it snowed. But then the sun came out.

I'm soooooo down to do this again. There are camp sites there. First come, first serve. And free. I'll post some pictures when I get home. I had to stop for some street tacos.
 
Damn wish I would have seen the post sooner I have Tuesday and Wednesday's off so always looking for a weekday adventure lol. Here in Vacaville there was a massive hailstorm as well

Here we are about a quarter mile in. Notice it's still beautiful outside.

I love how the light is hitting the truck in this picture.

It had started to rain and the temperature dropped from 58 to 40 degrees. It was hard to tell at first if it was hail or snow. But I quickly realized it was hail.

There were thousands of cattle. Apparently that's what you do out here. Raise cattle.

I hear you. I have five payments left on this girl and don't plan on having anymore auto loans anytime soon. I love the new TRD pro Tacoma and 4Runner, but I plan on outfitting this truck for my needs. She has 140,000 miles, so I have a lot of life left in her. What year is your Tundra? I think we have the same motor.
 
Yes the pros are nice! I still have a auto payment unfortunately we got my wife a 15 tundra to pull our trailer. My tundra is a 2006 with 140,000 miles as well. And mine is the v8 version but they do have a v6 version as well in some tundra models
