NorCal camping trip - Eagle Lakes - 6/26/15 - 6/28/15

Ice house rd FTW

 

Really considering this trip, no armor except my winch bumper and 5100's up front

 

Count me in! My buddy is interested too.

 

Dang.. I just realized this is 6 hours away from SF and my GF gets off work at 11pm that Friday.. Anyone see a problem with me showing up at 5am? Lol..

Guess I'll just have to try and be quiet while setting up the tent and what not.

 

These are the coordinates that MJ provided before and it's not that far. I think the google maps of it makes it look further. I would just drive up the morning of, it will be easier and I plan to do that since I'll be coming from Tahoe.

39.331456,-120.572948

 

and just get there by 9am ish to hit the trail with everybody? so leave SF at like 3-4am?

 

It only takes about 3-3.5 hours from SF to the trail if you use the coordinates MJ posted. Leave at 5 and get there around 8-9am.

 

Sounds good thanks bro!

 

No worries, I prefer to leave in the mornings if I can't get off of work. I can't stand sitting in Bay Area traffic on a Friday. I think we will be starting at 9, but we'll see when it gets closer. I'll be heading over in the morning as well.

 

Is there a plan for a group to drive over together from the Bay Area? Also, for those of us off-road newbies, can you give us a list of some must bring stuff, things we'll need, etc. Not all of us are "jberry prepared!"

Still undecided on the mountain bike, though it would go on the roof rack. Does anyone else bike?

Edit: I've reviewed this so I suppose that should be revised to, anything specific for this trip?!

 

BEER!

 

Be careful off roading with your bike on the roof rack. It'll away back and forth and can stress or damage the rack. I broke the crap outta my hitch rack that way.

 

Oh and bring beer.

 

Lol, thanks for the heads up. I probably won't bring it unless someone else wants to bike and brings their bike too. I'm assuming we need to pack in food and drink for the whole weekend right?

 

I see a pattern here. LMAO

 

Correct....and ice for the beer. And TP. That's all you really need.

 

im in if i get my skids on in time

 

Okay guys this is looking to be a good turn out with a lot of BAMF customers so to show our appreciation and make the trip a little better for all we will be serving you all BBQed TriTip sandwiches on Saturday evening.

If someone wants to go in on sides that would be great but the main course is on BAMF!

Ill need a head count the week of so i get enough meat so @MJonAgs32 if you can keep that list up to date that would be great. Also make sure you guys let him know if you will have passengers as they will need some food too!

 

That's pretty awesome! I'm not yet a BAMF customer but I have your sliders on my list!

 

Well if your going you should get some your ass will be less puckered for sure. I just so happen to have a 1st gen set with no kick in stock right now!
