"Wheeler's Anonymous"

If your rig looks capable they typically just wave you through or if they do stop you they just ask if you have them in your vehicle. I have never had to physically show them when I was in my truck. They may not even have a checkpoint still up as the roads improve.

 

Iv never done grapevine. Is there a gate at the entrance that you know of?

 

I went up the 330 past weekend and there was a checkpoint. I got waved right on through, both on the way up and down.

I think if your truck is clearly a 4x4, they won't even bother to ask if you have chains.

 

It was R3 conditions from Saturday till this morning... ALL vehicles including 4x4 must have chains on, mainly because there where so many fender benders blocking traffic and the plows could not get through. 38 was actually shut-down for like 12 hours.

 

I can see that. This weekend's storm brought much more weather than last week.

 

Ya I have about a 1' at my house and there is about 6" more give or take throughout town in some of the higher spots.

 

Looks like the girlfriend and I (and our Husky) will be trying to tackle Jacoby to Gold mountain and then Holcomb to White mountain. This'll be interesting. I'm decently equipped: 37" KM2s (35% tread), 7" lift, sliders, gas skid, front diff skid, frame skids, steel front bumper, and high clearance rear. I have my winch installed on my truck but it isn't wired (couldn't find time) though I do have my set of traction ladders.

 

Sup Jerry? was planning to go up there this week as I have the whole week off. guess I have to cross that off the list

 

Ya skyline is closed but there are other trails that stay open year round.

 

Few pics from red rock had blast exploring a least 50 miles of dirt today

 

Thanks for showing us the area @BAMFTACO. Had a great time! @stvstoy @Fuentes @tacitos .
Can't wait to get back out there! I'll post some pics in the morning. I'm sleepy

 

Great seeing again Mike and nice meeting you @stvstoy @Fuentes @tacitos had blast exploring another trip will be in order. Hopefully we can set something up for king of the hammers

 

Very awesome run today! Thanks again @BAMFTACO! Here's some pics from my dump...

 

Had loads of fun today exploring (new to me) trails. Thanks @BAMFTACO @stvstoy @Fuentes @Mike likes Tacos for bringing me along.

 

Friday night made it 3/4 of the way up Berdoo Canyon to JT. But had to turn around, we got caught in some pretty thick fog. Further up we went just running my fog lights i could only see maybe 15ft in front of me.


not being able to see far ahead was a bit unsettling at times but man it added a whole other level of difficulty

 

Delayed again... Wednesday at the earliest

 

Damn... they have you waiting forever! Since they keep pushing the date back, you should ask them when the latest date is and hold them to it (just in case).

 

That's always a crap shoot when you do that so they don't half ass anything. Guilt trip over the phone helps.

 

Did they tell you what the delay is on?

 

He said the body and glass guy was out. I'm getting a new windshield thanks to insurance. So I guess it's worth it.
