the hermit valley campground is pretty small, just past lake alpine when you start heading downhill on the left hand side after a right turn. you can't miss the trailhead.....

well, short update:
raffle prizes are still trickling in, thanks for all the support from our fellow mudders and vendors. as expected, the response to my raffle prize inquiries has been a little sedated compared to years past but overall i've still managed to get a good pile of loot together.
thanks again all!!!!!
other than that, i'm right in the middle of a spring over on a customer/buddies rig. tonight we got the empty housing hung back under the truck. tomorrow i need to build the axles with ARBs front and rear, complete the sag ps install, get the shock mounts welded on, make sure the driveline shop does'nt hose us, make sure the shocks get here, install all new brake lines, ..........and then the rig has to be ready to make it to the 45 run for the first time this weekend.
so i've been a little busy and it ain't gonna get any easier till saturday when i park my ass in a camping chair and pop a cold one........
also, i will not be driving the troopie this year. i can't. but the fox will be taking it up there for me. one of my customers just had me do a bunch of work on a rig in order to get it ready for the event. turns out he can't make it either so he asked me to take the cruiser up there for him. i could'nt say "no", you'll see why when i get there with it.
3 more days till i can relax.......

I think I am ready
Oh wait didn't I have less parts off the truck the last time I posted???? A quick run to the hardware store for more duck tape and bailing wire and I will be set. Do you get fined in CA if parts fall off your vehicle while driving????

Are dogs allowed at the campground?

dont worry its going next year hell or high waterbummer, was looking forward to seeing the rig.
It's not a real campground, its more of a really cool spot to pull off the trail and camp with some like minded folks.
And more to your point, yes dogs are Ok, but I think Georg asked that they be leashed in camp.
someone correct me If I am wrong.

Thanks but GEORG is really The Man for putting on a Great Event. I promised a seperate build thread of the 66 LV we took to the 45 Run this year after we get some time. I could not have made it there without the help of those who were in the know ( wanted it to be a surprise ) real quick Thank You Orange45, landcrusiserjunkey, calstyl2, rockcod, Danimal, livinginthepast, my friend kevin in Dago, , getting the LV running was alot of work but this picture says it all, a BIG Thanks to my son William for all his help
and he also drove the 45lwb himself this year and did a good job doing it. Good Times and Great Friends See ya in November at SnT ( Might even have some new plywood floors in the back )
Wait: Rob has a 45LV now?!?! How cool is that?
Sorry I had to work.... More pictures please!

So I am sitting at home nursing a bad shoulder, thinking there will be lots of photos taken. What do I see? 3 pics of Rob's ugly mug and the front of the War Wagon. Come on guys, show me what I missed.
