Sunrise at The Pads

Hello Friends :-) I have posted the Usal Beach trip on the Events list: https://www.overlandbound.com/event/usal-beach-family-camp/? Hope you will be able to join in!

Weekend trip to Usal Beach - family oriented. Typically camp on the beach if space and weather allow. View Rally Point

gpx file updated - hope to see you there :-)

Thanks Roger. Looking forward to seeing you at next mtg, or maybe Usal. I am visiting all the campsites and trails for the Anza Mojave trip and will post an updated map over the weekend. We have 8 trailer rigs and one OB member for the majority of the trip, plus one or two more OB folks...

Thanks - yes, the "outlines" on the top of the stove are 8" and 10", but the coils underneath are what I'm after - I've asked the vendor - will share here if they reply. Best of luck with the rest of your conversion :-)

Awesome setup - thanks for sharing your progress. We went all electric last year and it has generally been good - summertime is fine with 2Kw solar and we rarely run the AC. With a bit of heat pump from the Houghton in the morning we typically use 300-400Ah of electrons overnight from 1060Ah...

Thanks Cliff - I may prerun the sites if my projects get done ahead of schedule, or we can decide on the fly - the other travelers (non-OB folks) are all fairly hardy and adventurous, even if some of us are a bit long in the tooth, and given to boondocking whenever possible versus organized...

Here's the working itinerary - it's been fairly stable for a few weeks now, but still subject to change - probably won't decide until day of which of the campsites we'll actually use, but you can always reach me on 408-480-9583 or, for this trip, GMRS 15/19. You're welcome to join in as your...

Hi Cliff - near Owl Canyon, just this side at Rainbow Basin - we avoid formal campgrounds where possible, but as I haven't actually camped at Rainbow Basin we'll scoot over to Owl Canyon if appropriate.

Hello Friends - I have published the spring "trailer types" event at: https://www.overlandbound.com/event/trailer-trek-southeast-california/? Of course, all of you are welcome if you can join us for all or part of the trip. I've already got 10 non-OB trailer folks lined up, so I'm limiting...

This is a leisurely trek through Anza-Borrego, Chuckwalla, Joshua Tree, Mojave and Death Valley. Oriented around folks with trailers, but all are welcome. Mostly 2 nights at each location, around 80 miles per day, on average. View Rally Point

Awesome - we will likely be either here (most likely): 41.50503, -123.99579, or here (backup): 41.50656, -123.98393 - they are close together. You should be able to raise us on GMRS 15 or 20, or call me on 408-480-9583. :-)

Can there be a third life to this thread? Hoping so. My first question is, air down the trailer in sand, or not? Second question is, how about steeps, like >14 degrees? Our rig is a 6k lb single Timbren running on 265/70R17 KO2s. Huge benefit to airing down on rocks, washboard and gravel, but...

Also, reminder - radio channels have changed - we will now use GMRS 15 as our primary and GMRS 20 as our backup. cheers, D

Hello Friends, Just a quick update on a few items: 1) The weather continues to hold – looking like high 40’s at night into low 60’s during the day on the coast, rising to mid-70’s inland (Horse Ridge). Small possibility of showers later next week. Prevailing winds are typically from the west...

Hello All, just a quick note that I've made a couple of changes. 1) Meetup is now on the safer side of Highway 101, in the parking lot of the now closed Geiger's Long Valley Market. 2) The .gpx file has been enhanced to include fuel stops, regrouping spots, and 24 hour emergency care...

I've been getting out just fine with a Boafeng handheld coupled with a 12v plug adapter, handheld mic and Diamond SG7500NMO on magnetic mount. The antenna makes a huge difference.

Quick update - currently 7-9 rigs (only a couple on the Attendee list because this trip started out as an overland trailer event that I've since extended to all of OB - no worries - we're all friendly folks :-) ). Long range forecast is for clear weather, partly cloudy on the coast, highs in...

That's fine - the route allows you to join us pretty much anytime. Current plan is Friday night along the bank of the Klamath River around 3 miles east of the town of Klamath. Give me a call on 408-480-9583 on that Friday to confirm. I'll also do my best to post any updates here. What time...
