NorCal Wheeling, Camping, Recovery

Did some exploring up by Eagle Lakes. Didn't make it all the way up though. It became a little more than I wanted to tackle alone. Still had tons of fun though.

That's our stompin grounds. How far did you get?

 

[Bluebeast]

Lol not far. I was mainly running around to see if my lockers would keep working, since the dealer replaced my aux battery(stupid built in low voltage protection). I didn't even make it to the turn off to the lakes from Fordyce. I figured I didn't want to get up there if they didn't work. Turned around and cruising down Grouse Ridge till I ran into road work.

We tried to run Fordyce, but brought the wrong car.

Went and tried the new tent out finally! Had a blast out running around the forest trails. It did get a little chilly at night though. Just wish it would have snowed on Saturday instead of Sunday.

 

[Sunshne×Whsky]

Hell yeah! What did you get? Is that dennis?

 

[Bluebeast]

Yup it's Dennis. He's always a blast to hang out with. The tent is the new Smittybilt XL.

 

[Sunshne×Whsky]

Yeah Dennis is fun. Where did you take it? We have a little trailer we want to take snow camping but can't find an accessable spot

 

[Bluebeast]

Just stayed on the well traveled fire roads by Boca and found a good place to get off the road. I doubt I will be able to make it back as far as we did for a while since the snow is really falling now though. Also I learned that you have to have chains even with 4WD if you're towing a trailer and they put up chain controls.

 

[Sunshne×Whsky]

Yeah I forgot about the chain controls. I heard you have to chain the trailer if the trailer has brakes. I was thinking of doing the same thing up by Bowman or near Washington, thinking the snow isn't too deep in that area

 

[Bluebeast]

Yup for some reason I thought chains were only required if the trailer had brakes, but you have to chain up the tow vehicle either way and the trailer if it has brakes. I had a short conversation with the chain control guy to clear things up for me. Luckily I had chains to throw on the Jeep. I'm not sure where Washington is but I bet Bowman would work.
