My wife Holly and I had a little girl 2 weeks ago. Her name is Charlotte Ann Knox and she’s doing great! We’re calling her “Charlie “ for short, plus a lot of other Knick names like “T-Rex McGrumpy Butt” but I think Charlie will stick! 😂
We had a visit from grandma and great grandma today! So...
I know everyone is hunkering down for the duration, but if you feel like burning some gas and breathing some fresh air, a couple folks are heading to the mining claim in a few weeks. Be there or shelter in place! :cheers:
Last year we tried to cross the Siskiyous in the snow and were turned back by large drifts and low gas tanks.
That video is here:
This year we went a month earlier and manged to cross the mountains not once, but twice.
New video:
I hope you guys enjoy!
This weekend Matt and myself are going to try and traverse the Siskiyous from Ruch to the Klamath river. This is going to involve some serious snow wheeling, and maybe 2 nights camping out up there. Anyone else who is as crazy as us is welcome!
Winches, lockers, and chains are recommend! 🤣...
Soooo... How's everyone feeling? Got enough TP?
Any scary stories to tell yet?
I just got back from the bay area, and everything was shutting down down there... Stopped into a whole foods this morning and there were huge lines to check out... And people were grumpy... I'm back in Southern OR...

Not a lot of open dates left for me, so this one is gonna have to stay here. So, if you can't make CTW, better make the mining claim!
This does involve a water crossing, but it should be low by then!

I just got back to Portland from the east coast. GB is with me, and I'm ready to do some testing this weekend on the new suspension.
Will I be seeing any of you up here???
Hey guys and gals!
As some of you probably have seen in GB's thread, I have ordered some materials to change GB's front end from leaf springs to coilovers. I'm looking to get some help on this project on the weekend of April 7-9th. Project will happen at my dad's place outside Fort Jones, CA...
We had a group of folks from Arctic Trucks in Iceland pass through town the other day. They are half way through a double crossing of the continent this season. Started at Union Glacier, and drove to McMurdo, and now they are heading back. They are supporting a publicity stunt for Hundai, so...

Hey all!
I am getting back into town in early September. And as I am having to miss our July trip, I want to make it up. So who's up for a weekend of pin striping, dead ends, great views and some high altitude camping in the greater Southern OR area? I'm thinking we try to get as high up and...
Hey guys and gals,
The Log fire in Siskiyou county is pretty close to my dads house. I think an evacuation advisory has been issued for him as of this evening. I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to spare some time, and trailers to go help move stuff in the next few days. I haven't...
I think I mentioned this possibility to some of you guys, but I am now confirmed that I am staying down here for the winter! It was a little bit of a rollercoaster ride, but I am now going to be the Senior Supply person for our Vehicle Maintenance Shop. So I get to be the parts guy for the...
So as things sometimes quickly do, my plans have quickly changed over the last couple days.
I am flying out for the Ice today!!! My boss emailed me on Sunday, and I got my tickets yesterday morning. I hope you guys all have a lovely winter! And I also hope that I wont be back in Jan when this...
