TW Mammoth Lakes Off Road trip July 27th - 29th

I think it's in escrow now.

 

Nice! When you get moved in, you'll have to invite us over for a house warming party

Lol, I am not in the market for a town. I Can barely afford the truck

 

Cerro Mines! Cool little town, lots of old relics laying around. There are over 130 abandoned mines in Lone Pine Area, there is also a sweet "Ashram" hardly anyone knows about tucked up in the hills.

 

Don't threaten me with a good time.
I'm down for whatever.
Can't wait! Now just to fix this new clunk I've got going and the leaky line on my steering rack.....

 

wow.... first you are trying to find me a new bottom and now a new truck. I don't know what I did to get all this special attention.

 

Idk.... it felt wrong driving one for 38 days. It's just not a Toyota.

 

I already own one and I won't own 2, but I would own 2 tacos.

 

Woke up in Lone Pine this morning. I freaking love camping in this camper shell haha better than a hotel IMO

 

So those spots are great if you have 1-3 trucks maybe 4 tops. Most are too small and I also noticed they dont offer much shade at all until afteroon when the sun hides behind the mountains. I am meeting up with 2 other Tacos in an hour then we are going to go look for campsites between mammoth and June lake on the left side of the 395/

 

Your shell looks great! Nice setup.
I sleep in mine on a backpacking air pad, but def need to get some thicker foam for added comfort

 

Count me in.

 

Good to see that it's not all smoked out from the fires. You should be able to find something in that area. The trees are definitely thicker between mammoth and june. Lots of little back roads in that area. Good luck! Keep us posted.

 

Just got back from a quick Mtb trip in Mammoth and the smoke wasn't bad even down at Devils Postpile which is the same valley as the fire. Dispersed camped right outside of town and can definitely say that the bears are really active right now!!!

 

Hey man! How was the riding? I’ve only been up there in the winter, but would like to go up with my bike one of these days.

 

I was fortunate enough to hit the trails with the Trek factory guys for 3 days and had a blast!!!

The trail network is pretty well laid out but the difficulty ratings are way overblown. What they call a double black/Pro run is probably equivalent to a blue/single black trail in Sedona or Moab but nonetheless definitely worth the drive.

 

Yeah smoke wasn't bad until Sunday around 2pm it started rolling into town a bit. Lots of deer running around too, we will for sure need bear lockers or bear canisters for your food.

 

On my way into Mammoth I took a detour around crowley lake for some 4x4. Pretty soft stuff in that area, great views though.
