US West Monthly North Bay Meet-up/Trip - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Mendo, Lake

[Speric]

The trip was a memorable one for sure. Aside of the overheating at the beginning(foreshadow perhaps?) and the car crash at the end, everything in between was great.

Nice roads and trails, a few snow drifts, some water crossing, lots of tree clearing, a landslide, quiet campsites, and a great group of guys.
A few pics.

A good amount of water.

Woah very cool guys. And wow, much prettier than I feared with all the fires. Were you able to complete the whole of the route?

Hey which of you was in the LR3? Awesome to see the Rovers representing!! :)

Here’s a few more pictures from the trip. Absolutely a wonderful time except for a few hiccups!
Thanks Eric

The ending was rough, but other than that a great trip. I mean there was winching, flats, and other stuff, and that was just for my truck. But it was with an absolutely amazing group who really came together to help when needed. I still think we should get a check for clearing all those trees! And we had water crossings, desert level dust, and snow wheeling all on the same trip!!

We wondered what happened to you guys when we got to Howard Lake. The next morning we found out.

You can’t finish the loop because of the landslide, but you can do most. You just have cut back on Espee Ridge to the M2.

That’s Vince’s LR.

Bummer! We sent a text to Ken hoping he would see it before the slide.

The text went to my work phone, that I didn’t check till I got home sun night. I had left it behind

BTW, I'm from the North Bay originally, I even still have my 707 number.

Someday I'll try and tag along with TJ up there if I'm out visiting my parents or something

Thank you to everyone for an awesome and totally memorable trip. I wish the ending would have been different, but the bits leading up to it were pretty dang fun.

Eric...if you need anything at all, we are back home from SoCal. Just hit me up! Thanks again for leading us through some of the best terrain I have been in in quite a while. Looking forward to the next trip out!

Things are slowly moving but moving regarding getting my truck checked out and hopefully repaired.

Are any of you on IG? I have posted a few pics from the last trip and would love to tag you/your rig in the photos.

You can hit me up there as well... @vr524v
