Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Hunterlake Ride report 12/29:

I got a little ambitious this morning and decided to try wheeling to HL from the Reno side. It's all solid ice under 2-6" of fresh snow = zero traction. I couldnt even make it up that first steep hill 1/4mi in from the entrance.

Aired down, Atrac, fancy driving, there's just no traction anywhere. Chains on all 4s would work great up there right now, I just didn't want it that bad.

The good news is that the snow isn't super deep so when it warms up a little it will make for some good sloppy wheeling and not just a sierra cement shut down.

 

Had an awesome time meeting everybody and hitting the trail today! I'm exhausted, Bosco's exhausted and my clutch hates my guts! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use 4-Hi to get up the mountain without smoking it so it was 4-Lo and 9-Gillion RPMs or nothing. Guess I should might maybe get a locker if I'm going to get into shite like that again!

I was only able to grab a few pics before the camera battery I thought about charging last night reminded me that I should have done exactly that. Here's what I got-









Great meeting everybody and thanks Randy for coming up with the idea!

 

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun i wish i could of made it out there.

 

Looks like fun!

 

I think it was more snow than anyone was really looking for, but it was a lot of fun just the same.

 

Haha, I was rolling through wadsworth at the time you posted this. Stupid tapatalk!

 

Everytime I see a trip report I get excited to try to get in on one. What I'm thinking is a big central NV trip this summer. Could get the Vegas guys in, you guys and us eastern guys. Thoughts? Max I know you've mentioned before about the Toiyabe range, and I love it down there too. Maybe a trail through them over through moniter range/valley. I don't know a ton about down there with the exception of Big creek, and Kingston. Anyhow, discuss.

 

I'm hoping to start full time out there this summer!

 

Scheduling allowed, I'm always up for a trip anywhere in NV or the Sierras.

 

Depends on my schedule I'd be down

 

You should have come with us we only ran into deep powder.

 

You know what's funny, Randy, is that I reviewed your map and actually thought to myself "that looks like a good trip but I would rather go wheeling in the snow". Then of course I saw the pictures of your trip last night and kicked myself a little for not going. Next time.

 

I thought we would run into snow but didn't know how much. We were up over 7400ft.

 

har har har

 

Lol
