@Tremek So very sorry to see this. Glad that everyone was ok, but hate seeing the loss. Hang tough through this one...

@kevinfoutch What bag is that on your roof rack and is it weather resistant? I'm looking for something I can load my way-to-big tent and way-to-big sleeping pad in to keep it out of the cargo space and keep the rear window useable.

This is the exact bag I bought. Normally I put it on my hitch mount, but due to recent house move I lost my hitch carrier! On the roof works great too but would prefer the hitch due to improved fuel economy. But I lost that battle long ago...

Super bomber in the 20 or so trips I have used, never a drop but I also don’t put my laptop etc in there

Awesome opening event by Elite Land Cruisers and CruiserCorps! I have never seen so many 200s before! Q&A with Toyota and great time meeting all the new folks and visiting with old friends. Trails start today!

Sorry about the fire, that’s awful.

Sad to have missed the opening event, but glad I finally made it. Looking forward to hitting the trails with some people tomorrow.

Hey guys, I'm sorry we didn't make it up there this year. We had a house fire that's turned our world upside-down, and while the LC didn't burn, it did get a little toasty. We will try and make it up next year.

(Above was taken from inside the LC as I backed it away from the garage - it was parked in the middle pad position about a foot from the door and 100% would have burned.)

It sort of has a toasted marshmallow patina now.

My E63s AMG wagon and E30 project car were both inside. Fire investigators think it was a lithium ion drill battery that started it.

Anyway - hope y'all are having fun up in the hills, and when you get back consider putting smoke/heat detectors networked with your other smoke detectors in your garages.

So sorry to see and hear about this.

Ken, what a great trail. I am learning this Gaia thing while realizing what a nice loop we made.

Here is the file I made just practicing.

So sorry to see and hear about this.

I can not image how devastating this must be. Beyond words. Hang in there.

Weather radar is back up!

Alpine Loop with @Romer was absolutely epic today.

Incredible day doing Last Dollar Road on a Recovery Day with the fantastic @sleeoffroad team. Learned so much from Jackson and Amory about features on my 200 I was less familiar with. Feeling more confident in recovery too. Hopefully my rain soaked shoes will dry out by the morning.
@Tremek really sorry to hear about your house. Sending good thoughts.
