Riding family here. I ride a Transition Bandit or a custom Vulture hard tail. Here's are rig loaded with bikes! Lots of riding in Reno/Tahoe. I rode the Carson City off Road race this spring and then have been pretty lazy since then. -M

Don't know Ellis Peak, but IN Reno the Hunter Lake Trail might still be open. Also Lagomarsino Petroglyphs will be passable if it isn't too wet. Also There's a quartz crystal mine and a fire lookout just out of Verdi that is fun/easy. -M

"Delicious grass neeeeeiiiiiiiiighbor!"

Going to get one in the morning when Napa opens. SOOOOOOOOOO lucky this happened where and when it did. Would have been tragic on the freeway. Was just in 4 Wheel parts too. They said it was a little loose but should be fine. Fuck those guys. I told them I was having some brake steer. Since...

Best place to see them is right outside my house. Just missed them in this pic, but you can still tell they were there...

I can bring more than my fair share since I'm only coming from reno.

Sounds good. Hard to tell how many are going, but we might have to double up if there are any others out there, which I wouldn't expect there to be. Last week was fall break for school kids. -M

Where are we expecting to camp?

If we can't find something stupid to do that I can film then we are all failures as men. Plus there's that spot near Yerington we could hit that has some more options. Ludwig Ghost Town Trail. Here's that map I made a while ago...

The more footage the merrier! I am going to get a quad for next season. Would have been awesome for our Death Valley series. I'll probably do mostly GoPro on the truck and then my Sony when we go out on foot or if we get to any obstacles. -M

This sounds like it's going to be a rad trip. Are you guys cool with us shooting a video of the run? -M

Not bringing wife, just little boy. So no trump locker room talk please. Kidding, he's a child not a monk. -M

We have been camping with our boys since they were 3 - 6 months old. When they are small, they are harder to deal with at night. One of us has to spend a lot of time in the tent. Every kid is different, but I bed once she gets used to it she'll find a pattern and settle down. Things you might...

I can't recall the simplex frequency people generally use for off-roading. The Repeater system has multiple nodes so you'll have to check that link to find the right one.

Works for me. I have all three.

Sinclair at 9 will work. I'm down unless something comes up. Will be me in my 4Runner and my son at least. For Hams, here's the local repeater system. It's linked so connect to any of them and you're good. http://snars.org/repeaters/analog/ -M

I am probably down for this trip. When where do you want to meet?

Skottle seems bulkier than a stove considering you still need pots. But it has it's own table essentially. I'd like to try one.

Front Runner and Rhino have options for a flat rack in any width I think. Just pick something close to average. How much stuff do you have to have strapped to the outside of your truck for it to be considered an Overlander? Does a SkyBox count?

I have a standard 3 gallon aquatainer that is good for a couple of days. Also use a 10 liter MSR Dromedary bag. That is nice since it takes up very little space when empty and you can hang it up and use it as a sun shower. I recently bought a Stanley 2 gallon adventure water jug and mounted...
