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

Its only time I would get when it is not winter so I mine as well give it a go. I am not afraid of some heat. Will just take what I can get.

 

Well its been low 90s here in Tahoe and I do paving and work hard out in the heat so I think I can handle it. I will just take it slow.

 

Who's down for some off road time with NorNev people?

so i guess i am giving into the heat, decided to not head to moab. to long of a drive for only a few days then the heat. will wait till my work season is done amd head there begining of novemeber and stay for a week. anyone have any places that are good to visit for this coming 4th of july. i want to go camping someplace cool.

 

what kind of camping are you looking to do?

 

any camping really. would like to hit up some trails and just find a spot. think i am going to check out eagle lake area.

 

The jeep camp is pretty sweet at eagle lake and the short trail to get there is fun. You can't reserve spots there so you probably want to go early if you want to stay there.

 

We're heading to eagle lake (Merrill campground) with the family. I like it up there and I'm looking forward to seeing some more water in the lake this year.

 

Anyone been to Lake Alpine? Slick Rock Trail? Specifically where he is starting at 4:20 in the video. I need to camp in this spot.

I've hunted and fished that area. Never off-roaded over there.

 

Good fishing in lake alpine. Got some crazy wood knocks one day up there about 2 miles hiking into a canyon while deer hunting. Yup...

 

Bigfoot would not want to come upon me when I am camping. We would have our first real proof that Bigfoot exists, and he would be dead.

 

Anybody need a pair of mid 80s front seats?

 

anyone have any tips for removing the center pin in the leafs. Trying with some vice grips but no luck so far. once i get that out seems like I should be all set for the new leafs

 

Mine were the same. The pin was stuck because the leafs shifted and was pinching the pin. Big hammer and a punch got mine out.

 

i was missing that the nut on top came off. so much dirt made it look like it was welded on. got it off. trying to get new leafs in now. seems like center pin will be a bitch. might have to grind some little rounded bolt as well.

 

Went camping last night up off highway 89 north of Truckee. Then this morning went and messed around a little. Went up to Sardine Peak lookout, then into Sardine Valley, then over to Stampede and then came home Henness Pass into Verdi. About a mile from the pavement I slashed my front passenger tire . Guess it's time for some KO2's. The stock Goodyear Adventures made it just over 15k and they were actually getting down pretty low anyway.
