11-9-21 - Couple Updates, Trip up to Foresthill

Been awhile since I've posted. My right eye flared up again and I've just been dealing with trying to get that back to a state of normality. It sucks, but hey... I try to get by each and every day with no depth perception and 50% blindness.

The 4Runner has been doing well. It still has a few things that need to be worked out but all in all, it made the trip and back to Foresthill without any hiccups.

But anyways, I went up to Foresthill and hung out for the day. Mostly I wanted to scout out the camp sites up there because I'd like to do a weekend camping trip to shake off the rust. Here's some pictures that I took:

I was pleased to find out that the camp sites around the area have actually been serviced recently. They have brand spanking new fire pits and grilles along with a lot of the under brush being trimmed out. The sites are much larger now, too.

I'm thinking of making a run up there this weekend with some friends. Might even consider a solo camping trip with the doggo.

11-16-21 - Mumford Bar Camping Trip

We ended up going camping at Mumford Bar after scouting it out the weekend before. I couldn't sleep at night during the week knowing that we went up there and didn't stay the night. We drove up there late on a Friday night and stayed through Sunday (12th-14th). Zero complaints. The weather was perfect. The dog had a blast. The lady was comfortable. We literally didn't see anyone the whole weekend so it was a nice escape from society.

As you can see, the 4Runner was loaded down pretty good but it still drove up there perfectly fine. I'm just patiently waiting for someone to come buy the Mercedes and then I'll do some work on the 4Runner. I'm already thinking of revamping the suspension front and rear, installing new carpet throughout the interior and selling off the trail-gear bumpers, winch and lighting and getting into an Addicted Offroad front bumper and a 4x4labs rear bumper tire carrier. I also brain stormed the idea of doing a "half-cage" so that I can run a roof rack without drilling into the fiberglass top.
