Re: NE California
Very nice phot report ! Seems that it was quite a "technical" trip. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a map of your trip?

Re: NE California
Rocks, snow, mud, guns and liquor. I'd say that's a good trip.
Hopefully the guns and liquor were not at the same time.

I should have the gps tracks somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them up. Our first night target was Big Sage Reservoir, then worked our way north, west of Goose Lake to Lakeview. Then jumped up into the Warner Mountain Range to head south. Finally hit 395 to 299 then last minute decision to go to Pyramid Lake and have our own Burning Man. Then headed back to the Bay Area.

Watermelon Margaritas! It was Cinco de Mayo.

Guns always before liquor! We may be dumb, but not stupid (or is it the other way around?).

Re: NE California
Great trip report. I would feel safe on any backroad with you guys. Seems like you know what you are doing.

Re: NE California
Here's the track of the off-road portion of the trip.
The forum also won't allow me to upload a KMZ file, so if you'd like it, just PM me and I'll email it to you.

Re: NE California
I'm just now finding time to read some old posts. Phil you said it was a good trip but it looks like a #10 ++ on the fun factor scale. I've never gotten above a #8 which was awarded by a gas station guy in Truckee and I was towing a tent trailer with a canoe on the roof. The Burning Man shot was priceless. I'm a burner twice and I'd rather be in a small group like yours. Did you make it over the snow drift? I didn't see any "after " shots.

Re: NE California
Hey Chris -
Of course we made it over!
I did Burning Man as well this year. You gotta live it to understand it. That's all I'll say ...
