So the weather should be good for the 30th at a high of 66 and an A.M. traveling temp of 42 (8:00 to 9:00). 40% chance of rain on Thursday which could muck up the trail if it really rains. That trail is also a good trail to go in and out the way you come in. That avoids any mud issues and us rutting the trail. I am guessing it will be dry and smooth. So as it gets nearer lets post up on who is able to make it. There may be an opportunity to do some minor trail repair. Bring gloves. More on that later.

Hope you can make it. I will just be getting home from Phoenix so I am doing prep tonight after the Pine Wood Derby. My wife calls it "tightening bolts time". Hope to see everyone bright and early for a great run. I think we will pass on the trail repair this time. It was just a small job that can wait. And I didn't get the supplies I needed. Post up if you like and tell us if your going. Or see ya Sat morning for a beautiful day of NV wheeling. Its been dry with wind all week, so mud shouldn't be an issue.

I should be there.

I am planning to come.

I pick up the 40 and plan on going.

Sorry won't be able to come. Lost track of time (senior moment) to finish up some electrical repairs. Will not be finished in time. The original electric is bad enough on the 40 and 45 years of rancher mods and quick fixes make it a nightmare. I have already pulled out the equivelent of three wiring harnesses and more to go. Thanks for letting me rant.

 

[DesertLake]

I'm starting to worry about dust.

 

[WILLD420]

Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.... You funny man mister...

Im beginning to regret not building an ark... Ive got a very nice stream running through my yard and the lake under my house is getting deeper every day..

 

[Krusty Krab]

Geez I go to the land of the sun and come back to this. The run is on. Partly cloudy tomorrow. If you wake up tomorrow and it isn't raining we are on. Some of the best days in NV are after a summer or spring rain. We will be going in and out same way. Not willing to try the mud hill.

 

[rusty_tlc]

Just finishing a course of antibiotics for a fierce repository infection, I don't think all the dust on the trail will do me any good.
Plus is feeling bad now. Staying home to make chicken soup and nurse her back to health.

 

[DesertLake]

I get to wear my rubber pants again!

 

[WILLD420]

It's a pretty canyon in the rain. As long as you are passing on the slimy side-hill at the end, you will have a good time. You might even get all the mud washed off the bottom in the creek.

 

[Krusty Krab]

We are on let's do this!

 

[WILLD420]

How did it go?

 

[DesertLake]

Fun! Small group, 3 LC's, Mark did all the spotting.

I broke 2 antennas and knocked a fender flare loose. I'd planned to move them to the lower brackets the night before, but you know, it was raining.

Awesome. Someday soon....I hope..

Hey Will,
Thanks for posting the pictures. Your wife is a good photographer. Sorry about those antennas. Lots of low hanging branches. Had a great time getting out and enjoyed our conversations at the fossilized paraplastic flow place. Another great day of wheeling in NV.
