2017 Norcal TW "Veterans" wheeling thread...

jeeps with bacon are ok

 

Hell hole is exactly as it sounds like 1 mile of hell. Its a tough trail a little harder then slick rock but not by much.
I did it with no lockers on 285s only had to winch once as i hi center on a big rock.it was more challenging coming back up then going in.

 

So kinda like Niagra Rim? Its been a while since I did slick rock but isn't there just one difficult section and a lot of dirt road? I used to wheel deer valley all the time but then they shut it down and I haven't been back since they reopened it. I need to go check it out again... considering I live pretty close.

I think I might check out hell hole this summer. Is the camping/fishing good?

 

The spot that is considered the hard spot is only the beginning of about 1.4 miles of boulders. We stacked alot of rocks that day. I have never been on niagra rim but hell hole is no dirt rd. Its hard but can be done if you take good lines and take it slow. Lockers would make it a walk in the park, 35s will make it even easier. On 32s it was challenging. You definitely want armor and bumpers.

 

So your saying i should do hell hole? Match up the driver side to the passenger..lol

 

im down to run it again. must be a small group.i would say 5 maaybe 6

 

Isn't Hell Holl is near South Lake Tahoe?

 

It runs along side of Hell Hole Reservoir.
You can get to it either from Georgetown, or Forest Hill.
Check a map for more details.

 

Now I just feel foolish....

Looks like a fun trail. I'd be interested in running it.

 

Lets go

 

i thought jweener and nando were too cool for this thread. yet you are the first ones posting up a trip

 

I'm definitely in for hell hole this summer. Maybe a Thursday - Saturday trip. Just the thought of breaking something on a Sunday just suck.

 

You know how I'm gonna make sure I can make the hell hole trip? I'm gonna plan it myself... The #dbbrigade is on notice!

 

sounds like a run for an open-open trail limo on skinnys with no armor


oh wait, wrong thread again

 

Shootz. I gots a locker bra. Even chromed the button. Makes it hella easy to spin brodies at the mall. Bracoma.

 

Shit...i forgot what thread i was in....im too cool for school bra

 

I want in on a hell hole trip haven't run it since I had my jeep would love to take the taco down it

 

I think i said I wasn't one of the cool kids. we will do hell hole for sure. but we can post it here. shhhhh. we have to PM about it.

 

IMHO, whoever organizes this run should do it mostly via PM's and/or direct emails.
Because of this trails nature, its definitely no place for a cluster-f**k of wheeler
wannabes (ie - no real rock-crawling experience, mostly cosmetic mods, etc).


I have lots of experience (with a previous rig), but wouldn't dream of going
with my current rig (31's, long wheel base, stock gearing, no winch) and I consider
myself a pretty good wheeler.
