Stick a fork in it, the 2023 NorCal Wheeling, Camping, and Fuckery Thread is done.

Love the eastern Sierras this time of year

 

Temps were actually quite nice. The mountains were about mid 50s during the day. In Bishop It was around low 70s in the day and mid 30s at night. I have a quilted liner that goes inside the tent so it was perfect temp for sleeping.

 

I’ve only been to the area once before when I went to Alabama Hills in December. I need to make it out there more often, such an amazing area.

 

Some mild fuckery last weekend

 

Manure pile?

 

Woodford canyon

 

I haven't been to Woodfords in years. I really need to get back up and do some climbing in Tahoe but it's so fucking hard to leave Bishop. lol

 

I used to climb a lot when I lived in Santa Cruz and was younger. Then my wife and I climbed a lot when we started dating (2006 to 2011) in the gyms. Then marriage house and kid happened..... We just picked it back up. I am reacquainting myself with outdoor climbing and gym climbing now and our Daughter is working on getting onto the local climbing team

 

Sweet man. Welcome back and I really hope your daughter enjoys it.

I started climbing in the Gunks circa 1998. Left on a 6 month road trip in Oct 2004. Came to Bishop in March 2005 and haven't left. Only real breaks I've taken from climbing are injury related. Got lucky and met my wife in Toulumne Meadows. She's rad and climbs damn near as hard as I do. One day I hope she can be my ropegun. lol

 

Saturday 92 degrees at Folsom Lake was jam packed!!!! I claim my spot at 8am. Ran into IG: Sacoverlanders, got a free patch and decal. Cool dude. Water is pretty high. Won’t be able to drive on it soon.

1 entry line at 8am:

 

No wheeling recently, but I did get a vacation to Georgia and Tennessee in last week, including knocking another baseball stadium off the to-visit list.













Came back and caught Tyler Childers and Charley Crockett at the Greek, too. Great show.

 

Monday/Tuesdays off kinda sucks…but will make the best of it. Cruising out to Ice House road area and hang out for the day with the doggo. Hit me up if you are in the area, you know my #.

 

Yeah, being able to go out and play when the other 95% are at work must be tough. lol

 

I hear it's raining/snowing there today :yikes

 

Pretty tough lol

Road is clear of snow, a nice dusting of snow though. A little snow flurries coming down but enjoyable. Sure is quiet out here. Still afraid to let the doggo run off without a leash.

 

Well... Slick Rock is definitely not happening any time soon.

Spicer Meadow Campground entrance

 

The dirt roads and trails are officially open as of 5/1. Confirmed with the ranger earlier. But lots of campsites are still gated. Explored a couple of forest roads. Didn’t want to go too far in solo.

 

Nice wheels brotha
