Haven't heard. Rob is at Jurassic Lake, lucky bastard, but I'll ask when he gets back.
I'm just hoping to get my Jeep back from the shop. 2 months old and the tranny broke and supposedly my clutch as well.
Needless to say, I'm not happy.

@NorCalCrisp and I will be joining you guys as well! Although, we are planning on camping over night Feb 18.
I may be dropping out of this trip.
Looking at the weather a few minutes ago, looks like snow will be a constant in the sierras starting this Thursday all the way to at least next Wednesday. Not sure I want to spend all day driving then get stuck on the freeway trying to get back over the "insert name of pass here" on any of the routes coming back from Nevada....so I may play it safe.
I did get my Nevada off road trails book in the mail finally so if I miss this trail I will definitely hit it up again looks like a great ghost town to go check out. Lots of great ghost town runs in this book that I must get out to now.
If I decide to stay in the valley this coming weekend I will post up ahead of time in case anyone is keeping a master list of who is going for this run. Will keep watching the weather till then.

Here's the weather report. Sunday is still too far away for it to be accurate though. But we definitely should keep an eye on it throughout the week.

Would definitely be a bummer as I have been really looking forward to it but it makes sense. On the bright side it would give me a bit more time to get the rig squared away with the new CB and everything. I'm in either way

And Californians. My father in-law and I will be in Truckee from the 18-20th planned it so we didn't have to drive all the way back to the Sacramento and bay area in the same day.
Where exactly are we going after we meet up in Fernley? I want to down load the map to my iPad in Gaia.

That is over a 4 hour drive home for me. Might have to pass. That is just a bit to far to drive home after driving all day. Multiple high passes for me to get home on two lane roads.

No worries, I think most people from CA are gunna back out due to the snow. I heard that its supposed to snow 2 feet over Donner just on sunday.
