Eagle Lakes Trip - October 9 - 11

Hey Jason! Add me to the list. I'll be camping Sat and Sun night as well. Are you planning to setup base camp or are we doing expo style and move from site to site? Probably should go and pick up a PETT! haha! Fordyce trail?!?! You serious! haha

Troy - Sucks you can't make it man. Anything changes let me know we can caravan out there.

 

Alvin,

Ill add you for sure. I figured we could set up a base camp, but i don't really know the area so we might have to feel it out when we get there. I know i mentioned fordyce, but there are more moderate bypasses on the trail that i think could be fun for everyone.

 

Yeah I'm gona pass on Fordyce trail My rig is not built for a class 10 trail.

do you guys know where you'll be on Saturday night? I'm thinking I maybe able to do saturday afternoon and come home sunday

 

probably down by the lake camping. Ill have my CB on, and we will probably get service up there as its not to far off the beaten path

My pops and i are going to lay down some GPS coordinates in a week or so for the trip, i can get you the coordinates for where i was thinking to camp that way there are no surprises.

 

Great, as I say nothing set in stone, I'll know by the 7th or 8th.

What channel will you have your CB on?

 

since ive had good luck with 30.. ill stick with that.

 

You guys don't like TTORA yet all your pix are from the norcalttora website aren't they? Eagle Lakes is easy, as for anyone being able to make it back into Fordyce, you better be damn well built LOL. I might try and make this one since I didn't go to Barney Riley back in July.

 

I've never had a problem with ttora. I don't think any of the people going dislike them. I hope I can make this but doubt I will be able to.

 

So Bruce...are you itching to test something out on your rig

 

I like the TTORA guys. I've been trying to get on a run with them but have had conflicting schedules. Looked like there will be a few of them up there this weekend for a BBQ deal some people are putting on. Should be a fun weekend

 

Maybe Alvin, its on truck the now, just have to put the plate on it. I also changed it a bit, the main body is an air tank that holds about 3.5 gallons.

 

I am still hopefully going to make this one since its in my backyard. Not sure what my schedule is like for work but worst case I will come out for the day with the girlfriend and the dogs! Any of you guys coming from the bay area?

 

EL is extremely easy. A stock truck with no sliders can make it. Driveline has a bypass and that is the only hard spot on the trail.

Please for everyones health stay off Fordyce! If the rocks don't destroy your rig the river will!

I hope to have my crawler up on the 4dice I doubt we will come down to eagles lake road. Have fun.

Also pick up your trash and white flowers.

 

ttt,

The trip is next weekend. Let me know if you are a for sure and we can start planning some of the finer details.

 

Well were going to come up for the day we can't camp over night.

 

I had my dates confused, looks like I might be able to make this. Not sure about staying till monday though.

 

Sup Jason! I'm in for both Sat and Sun night but I'm gonna leave early on Monday around 8am.

 

Right on! My dad will be surprised to see ya if you make it out. Should i confirm you then for sat/sunday but not monday?

Alvin, right on dude! I think we were thinking the same thing. Probably leave after waking up, breakfast, then clean up and head out

 

Yea, I'm 95% there, but no monday. I just have to get everything together in 4 days instead of 4 weeks .

It will be good to see your dad again, Old guys rule .
