    Big Bear Yellow Post Sites

    I have camped at the Pine Knot campground a few time to mountain bike at Snow Summit as it's a 2min bike ride from the bottom lift. Never bothered with yellow post/dispersed up there, which is what I usually do everywhere else. I have done Burns Canyon Rd(2n02) and a few side trails off that...

    Big Bear Yellow Post Sites

    Thanks, I was told/read somewhere dispersed camping wasn't allowed in areas with yellow post sites to stop people making 100000 dispersed sites where ever they want. I am clearly wrong.

    Grand Canyon, South to North.

    This is my first ever trip report. I have done many, many trips over the years and taken 10,000s of photos but never actually written a report, so here goes! This was quite a last minute trip as some work fell though so I packed the car and headed north east to the Grand Canyon for 7 nights. A...

    Anyone in Bakersfield been up to Oak Flat Fire Lookout on Rancheria Rd/25S03?

    I did the whole Rancheria Rd late last year in early winter and it was easy and fairly quick to drive(was even snow patches on the northern end), it looks like I didn't record it on Gaia for some reason so I can't tell you exact times but I believe it was easily 30min to 45 min to the fire...

    Camp stoves and lanterns in California

    It all depends on the National Park/Forest/Monument/BLM/State Park, I know Angeles NF has a total fire ban, that includes all devices that have a flame, so no open or closed flames at all. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd568359.pdf San Bernardino NF no is fires or flames...

    Joshua Tree National Park

    I didn't go down the lift rod route as the suspension isn't designed to drive daily at the height, the alignment will be close but not perfect. I use an IIDtool to to give a 30mm lift if needed plus the IIDtool clear the 100000 faults that may arise while off road, you can also change a ton of...

    Joshua Tree National Park

    I did Burns Canyon road mid last year in my LR3, I have 275/65 K02s but other wise stock. I did the whole trail in the street program with just letting my tyres down a bit. It's a great trail driving though large joshua tree fields then the change of scenery as you near Big Bear Lake. I did a...

    When I was first getting in to astro photography these website helped me the most. https://www.lonelyspeck.com/milky-way-exposure-calculator/ is a very quick and easy way of working out the best shutter speed to use with the equipment you own. The whole website is an extremely good resource...

    DIY cargo drawers for LR4

    The tray looks like a standard sliding rack tray but installed upside down, it will come with the sliders installed with usually rack unit ears on them. They are used mostly in server racks. If you google "sliding Rack Tray" or "Sliding Rack shelf" you should be able to fine somewhere that sells...

    Hi All, I am an Australian who earlier this year moved to Los Angeles(Studio City) for work. I bought an LR3(or a Discovery 3 to me) because defenders are stupidly expensive over here. The LR3 is a 2o05 5 seat HSE with cold weather and HD(rear locker) option packs and it clicked over 100000...
