Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
OK, I'm going to make it June 17th.
Let's meet along Canyon Way (I-80 Exit 22) in Lockwood just outside of town at 9:00 to be rolling by 10:00 after air down and BSing.
There is a Chevron at the next Exit East, and many more options at the VISTA Blvd Exit in Sparks before you get into the...
I have this: Motorola MT350R FRS Weatherproof Two-Way - 35 Mile Radio Pack - Orange.
But be advised that the only way they have a 35 mile range is if you write a message on a postit note and attach it and a rocket motor to the radio and hope the wind is blowing in the right direction.
I'd recommend the FRS radios over CB. They work better in most cases for vehicle coms and are far easier and simpler to install and use.
Another option is GMRS. Some of the benefits of HAM, but the license is $ instead of a test.
Honestly, FRS radios work well enough. I wish I hadn't taken all...

The OME springs were a big improvement over stock on my 1999 4Runner. The ride was softer unloaded and load capacity was greatly improved.
Adding the Bilsteins helped as well.

The brown signs with white numbers vertically are forest road markers. The road numbering is usually something lis 6S30 or 29N450b.
They are a sequence based on location in a map grid. The S or N meaning north or south of some transect. All the roads in a grid will have the same prefix with a...
OK, I'm in for sure. I'll roll out with two friends and we'll probably have 2 vehicles, but can be a single vehicle team.
We can camp at that location right?

I'm not sure a compass is all that useful where roads are involved. Usually we just follow the road same as a GPS track. I haven't been too many places where you couldn't track where you were or where you are going with just a good map and a pencil to mark unmapped roads.
I have only really...
I got two guys talking about coming with me. Should we bring 1 truck? Are the teams going to be two dudes in 2 trucks or 1? (This will determine how much beer wee need to bring)
