    Andy and I, and maybe Rob, will meet up in Fairfield and head up there. I'll text you when we leave. Do you need to drop off the awning at home first, or campsite install? I'm bringing a drill...

    Wtf Chris? Need to test out your new suspension...

    Sorry you can't make it. The DV trip should be an annual thing.

    It's on. I blew up my rear end on Monday, but new one is arriving tomorrow.

    Yes bring firewood. It will be warm and cold in different spots and times so be prepared.

    Thursday night meetup will be one of the campgrounds in the bishop area, will send a pm with that info.

    You all have fun and be safe out there! Here on the other side of the country wishing so I was there. And to make matters worse I gotta slum around in a Nissan Frontier that the rental company gave me.

    Great trip with great people! Some nice well- built trucks too. No breakdowns or trail damage. One pucker moment involving a sheet of ice and @jberry813. Sketchy as fuck. Forest trails, rocky cliff sides, 60 mph washboards, sandy washes- this trip had it all. Not to mention the good times at the campgrounds. :cheers:

    Thanks @jAndyMendo for organizing and leading the group through some amazing areas of our state.

    And @2015whitetaco, I never slept in past 8:30. :luvya:

    Photo dump from my phone.
