Reno/Moonrocks/fernley/pyramid lake this weekend 10/22-23 (Prerunners)

I'm taking the yota to smash around the moonrocks region.
Just thought i'd throw it our there as i'll only be with one other rig who is also 2wd
Hollar at me if you see us or let me know if you'd like to join.
Going to be driving this



chasing around this beauty




Staying in downtown reno friday night to catch the Expendables show at the knitting factory then going out to the desert on saturday camp somewhere saturday night (maybe pyramid lake) and coming home sunday.

 

here's a nice topo of the region

Yeah, Reno trips usually come together last minute for me. Once i found out the expendables we're playing at knitting factory i was sold.
That VORRA loop (green line) depicted in the map i linked looks really fun too, i was looking at some videos of the VORRA race on that route and i'm sure it won't disapoint.

Come-on fellas...who's in for some skinny pedal desert action?

 

Too short of notice... plus I busted a front axle seal last weekend at PC, so probably not good to go that far without oil

 

no pic dudesky

 

pshh, just fill it up with the super thick stickyicky stuff, carry oil and periodically check/refill as needed. I've definately pulled one of those on many a trips.

were you at p-shitty on sunday? My good buddy flipped his xj there being a doughnut spinnig nitwit. I would have been there but i was crawling around slickrock

 

i sees it now, nice huck fella...i'd solute that. Looks like Pismo?

 

As it would me if i lived closer.

im one of those idiots that lives for hucking shit, weather it be a snowboard, bike or truck...Who says Youth is wasted on the young?

 

YES!! DO IT.
Nice quad, that's definately on my wish list. My buddy's girlfriend that comes on most of our rides just got a Honda 400EX. I LOVE riding that thing.

And yes, ANYthing goes on NV BLM. And we usually take full advantage of "anything".

 

So if wifey gives you the 10-4 a go, drop me a line via txt/phone

my buddy rolled his shit at moonrocks a couple weeks ago lol..and got wedged in a fat ass canyon before that and was getting winched out and sheared his leaf pin haha..he got it fixed though then rolled it -_-


let me know next time you head up to slickrock, my buddy and I have been wanting to make a run up there to wheel..

 

You talking about the v-noch? Yeah moonrocks eats a lot of rigs. I've had a lot of fun out there.

Yeah i'll post up here next time i go to slickrock and drop you a line as well. Its a fun and scenic trail with tons of camping along the creek abutting the trailhead and the myriad of lakes that are out there. Although I think the season for anything that high is over. Farmers almanac is calling for a wet winter. There was a little snow on the side of the road at Bear Valley.
Now comes the desert/pismo missions for me. Going to johnson valley either before or after thanksgiving on the week of thanksgiving.

 

i'm usually in pismo on thanksgiving

but i'm so down for a slickrock trip before it gets snowed in.
i don't mind snow wheelin but i don't like going deep back into the woods..who knows what the fuck your wheelin over haha

 

Yeah snow wheeling is fun, i think slick rock is mild enough for that. If you have chains or enough motor and tires to power through things you'll be fine. Like this guy in the box on the con

Crazy bastard

I like iron mountain/morman imagrant trail for since its close. I like charging all the way through as fast as my rig will allow then doing a half day boarding kirkwood...that makes for a pretty high pace day.

 

Mothafucka was smashin. Haha.
