209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Not sure we should talk about fires... don't want to offend anyone or their delicate sensibilities.

 

was debating on whether or not I should say anything but kept it as surface level as possible

 

Bought a DoggoRamp from Desert Armor. We'll see how it works out.

Bailey went up and down, no problem on the test run.

 

Definitely headed up this week to check it out now. I don’t remember any real high clearance sections needed (not saying it’s not needed) just that I only clicked it to 4wd once and I don’t think it was necessary.
Also as a caveat for anyone reading my posts. I answered Matt based off me wheeling with him and knowing his and his truck levels capabilities. It should be an easy drive for him. I generally won’t answer people who ask how hard a trail is because there’s too many variables that I don’t know without ever wheeling with you.

 

Let us know how it goes!

 

I think it’s time to change the air filter….



And a shiny new alternator

 

Also went to change my rotor but…

I got rock autoed. It was on clearance for $3 so no big loss.

I’ll just go to the parts store and get the correct one later.

 

I don’t like to tell people how hard or easy something is either unless its just a graded road. I don’t generally like telling people about places up here too much either. You never know peoples comfort levels, or if they’re gonna do dumb shit. I have a feeling I drove by you guys on your way back to Sonora as I was heading over the pass to not go backpacking.

If anyone wants to hit the dirt in the next couple days Id appreciate the company, if not, this is the internet so I get it.

 

#nDub, I assume you are evacuated? Need anything? We think there is a good chance that my brother lost his house. He is right at the epicenter.

 

Oh man I hope not. Brian?

We haven’t been evacuated at this point. We’re up by the greenly cemetery.

 

Forest Order STF-2021-16-12 Fire and Target Shooting Restrictions
Date(s): Aug 25, 2021

The Stanislaus National Forest has issued a Forest Order to enhance fire restrictions and prohibit recreational target shooting effective August 26, 2021. No wood or charcoal fires will be allowed anywhere on the forest including all forest campgrounds, developed sites, and wilderness areas. Recreational target shooting will be prohibited but lawful hunting will continue to be allowed on the forest.

These restrictions are temporary and will be in effect from August 26, 2021, through December 31, 2021. Restrictions may terminate sooner depending upon weather and fire conditions.

The Forest Order and map are available here.

 

Good. No my other brother. He lives on mckibbon.

 

Trying to load some pics. Networking is so slow up here

 

Treatment plant was evacuated as well as a lot of homes west of Washington st

 

Wow. So scary.

Here is from just a few minutes ago from near the Sonora water treatment plant (drinking water).

 

Is that in Jamestown??

shit man, hope everyone stays safe. I hope they put that fire out quick

 

We got evacuated yesterday. Looks like our house is still standing this morning

 

And just like that they are letting us back in. I know a couple people who have lost their homes to this fire and unfortunately have several members of my family who have lost theirs in past fires. Unfortunately this is just normal for me at this point. Annnnd I’m hearing from several people that it was intentionally set.

 

Sick fucks.

 

Please let me know if i can help in anyway. I know some people dont like to ask for help. But im sure many of us on here would drop what we are doing to help TW fam out.
