2020 Panamint Valley Days

[mazder]

Trying to see who might make it out this year for Cal4wheel's Panamint Valley Days? I'm planning on attending again this year if all goes to plan. I plan on leaving Wednesday afternoon November 11th. And staying till Sunday or maybe Monday morning.

Looks like fun.

We will be going, probably show up Wednesday afternoon. I’ll be camped next to John Mcvicker and his crew.

 

[smritte]

I'll be headed out Thursday mid morning and coming home Monday morning.

 

[John McVicker]

Yep, will arrive Wednesday afternoon. @Jason hansen will join us along 4-5 others from the ES4WD Club. Easter Sierra 4WD Club.

Maybe I'll run into a few of you, I'll be in my 80 and have my trailer in tow with the RTT. Pics for reference.

While going through my pre trip inspection I discovered a sheared front swaybar mount and loose front 3rd member. Going to be a chilly trip. What are you guys camping in or on?

 

[John McVicker]

Yes, it will be cold but not ‘that’ cold. Low to mid 30’s at night and 60’s in the daytime. And they changed the rules and we can now have campfires. So not too bad.

 

[Jason hansen]

Glad to hear we can have camp fires. We will be bringing our humongous canvas tent, wood stove and utility trailer. I will try to scrounge up some fire wood and bring that as well.

I think they are requiring at least 1 person in the group have a fire permit. I have a pretty good source for bonfire wood and a nice dryer drum i can load up in my trailer.

Back home now. We had great weather and a great time.


Here we are at the top of Coyote Canyon.

Excellent video Jason. One of the more extensive video tours around.
