Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Stayed at battle creek FS campground the other night on my way to Lassen NP, it was 18$. I thought that was alot after staying for free for a week on the M1 north of Lake Pillsbury, and in the Yolla Bolly area. There were flushing toilets and it was tidy, the host sells firewood rounds that he cuts.

 

Battle Creek is nice but super small. For camping like that i like West Shore or Rocky Point on Almanor. but $18-35/night

 

I was actually on my way to rocky point pge campground but alas the sun was setting. First time at battle creek and yes it is compact. A short walk east found the creek summer-dammed enough for a much needed quick dr bronners scrub for me and the pup.

 

I've stayed up around Lake Pillsbury as well. Just pulled off on a dirt trail and found a nice spot to set up camp. That whole area is nice. I get a weird feeling when I realize I have to sleep next to a bunch of random people at a campground. Partly why it's been so long since I've camped at a legitimate campground. Having toilets and some goodies like firewood rounds are nice though.

 

@Don5352 LOL Relax creeper

 

Found a new way to determine whether or not your exhaust system might be clogged.

 

But it doesnt get weird until midnight.

This summer i did alot of 3 day trips, in the past i did less, longer 5-7 day trips. I remember why i got that way. You cannot get away from people in this god forsaken state. For the remainder of my timw here in CA i will only be camping from october-may. The kooks can have the forest during the summer, all i gained out of "warm camping" was a swim in the lake and a sunburn.

 

I have a crack in the heater control knob. So I go into the dealer thinking "no big; they'll have one" and we look at the parts diagrams...turns out the knob(s) only comes with the rest of the controls. $1058 for the heater control panel. Even the parts man was shocked.

Edit: I meant to add Amazon has replacements for less than $20.

 

Does anyone have a link for the fender flare clips that break when removing them? apparently my google skills are broken, I don't want to get the wrong ones and have to roll around without flares while I wait for another delivery. hoping to have everything in place to cut the fenders next weekend.

 

here are the blue ones
