Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

I drive past this truck everyday. It's up in the houses above panther valley. I will grab the address for you tomorrow if you want to swing by there sometime. It looks like it is driven very little.

 

Well it looks like they already got a set for your old truck. But here it is if you want to see it!

 

Thanks for the update Jay! Truck still looks good! Guess I'll toss these bars up on CL then.

 

Anyone done a run from Geeat Basin to Reno via dirt?

 

I have driven to it via S Virginia several times. JK

 

A couple years ago we did an all dirt trip across the top of NV. It was so much fun! Would love to do one from here to GB. Count me in if you're looking to do a group run/trip!

Lets get something planned for spring time.

 

Yeah...that post is what inspired me. I've been wanting to do either Vegas to Reno or Great Basin to Reno since reading it.

How'd you go about planning the route and does it matter if we go east to west or west to east via dirt? I was thinking taking 50 out then dirt back but I'm open to discuss why it'd be better to head out via dirt then back on the highway.

 

This sounds like a fun trip id be in as long as my stock sport would do ok and i can get the time off of work to go.

 

One of the benefits of doing dirt out and road back is that people can bounce at the end if they're in a hurry to get back or you can take your time coming back. I spent one extra day camping south of Wendover at the caves after that trip. Either way, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, I'd be down for either.

As for mapping the route. TJ was responsible for that. I was familiar and had driven almost all of route before but had never strung them together to do in one trip.

I think its just a matter of getting out the delorme and starting. Then once you have established what you think your route is going to be, run it by some of the other nevadans you know to get additional beta on cool things to check out in the areas. I've lived in this state basically all my life and still find out about new things to check out to this day.

 

In if a trip like that happens again. Looks like fun!!

 

I can't make it until spring/summer 2018 but this will happen.

 

Howdy all!

I'm just running out spreading some news, so I'll just leave this here.

might i suggest adding it to your signature?

 

Alright, made a new post for the Great Basin NP to Reno trip and think it makes sense to end in the Playa for 4th of Juplaya so we can make shit go boom

Great Basin NP to Black Rock via Trans America Trail June-July 2018

 

I'm interested....I need to know in advance tho so I can get the time off. I'm guessing you guys are doing it on the weekend.

 

I am super interested in a Reno to Vegas all dirt run..... I'm in the process of acquiring stuff though, like a RTT, and such. I would like to tag along with you if you do this though.
