Hunter Lake Part ll

[Reno Computer Repair]

I am interested in making another Hunter Lake Run on Sunday, July 24th. Say 9AM - Anyone Game? Meet at the Scolaris parking lot again?

Tried to get up there last weekend but had problems getting through a v-crack at the top of the mountain - really needed a spotter, and somebody again has knocked down the forestry sign halfway up.

I have my 4low back after a visit to the shop, and have been exploring other trails in that area. Also found some nice steep inclines behind Moss Lake.

Why not today? I think next weekend I'm doing something, can't remember what but I have plans :)

I'm itching to check my low range out as well as go to the actual lake this time. Think I'll air down this time as well, that wash-out rock was killing the fun big time.

Again looking to make a list of those interested.....Next Sunday.....
I will be bringing some toys to try out......... :yup:

[Connect]

I went up today, about 4 miles, Turned around because of a big ol v-crack, I walked it and probably could of made it past but It was getting late.

If I'm around next weekend I want to come up, 4lo worked, AC worked without going over 215 degrees and that was only at the big *** climb past the ruts. Still very rocky/rutty the first mile or so.

I'll go if you don't mind me riding a quad??? Jeep is still out of commission. I am thinking of selling it? :slap:

[Reno Computer Repair]

Are you sure the quad will work out in this hellacious heat & dust? You could probably ride with one of us.....Since I am only a curb crawler with A/C..lol. :yup:

[kairo]

I'll go if you don't mind me riding a quad??? Jeep is still out of commission. I am thinking of selling it? :slap:

I remember when you first signed up. . .Your jeep was out of comission then. Get on the ball! get that sucker fixed

[Connect]

Are jeeps ever really 100% working though? :)

I wouldn't mind taking a quad actually because you don't have to go 1 mph and its a softer ride ><

[velvetant]

I'll go

[cblood™]

Well I thought it was "fixed", but the guy who did the wiring left me with a front wheel drive jeep. Now I just need the time to take it to the shop and get that repaired. :maddance3 . I will proably have a couple more riders with me, but I have yet to go to the top. I am going to go thought. Once i get it fixed anyone interested in a CJ 5??

[Connect]

what does wiring have to do with not having the rear part of the drivetrain work? lol :)

[cblood™]

I am trying to figure that out myself. :scratchhe Then he had the nerve to ask
me to bring it back to "check" that out as well. Yes this was done at a shop in town. :buttkick:

[Scrub]

Sounds like The Guy Doing the wiring dident know what wiring looks like. :hmmrun:

I Might be Interested in doing this run it just depends on if my wife makes any other plans for this weekend :disagree:

[Reno Computer Repair]

Remember to bring plenty of water......... :lolrun:

[Connect]

*Makes whipping noises at scrub*

Only If you bring a gun of your choice :P We will be pulling you up the hill, hope you got some front tow points.

[Scrub]

Yes i know that im whipped but thats what happens :yup: lol i have so much water in my garage that its not even funny but thats what you get when your roommate works for sparkletts :avid:

[Reno Computer Repair]

How many of you planning to attend have winches?

[velvetant]

How many of you planning to attend have winches?


ME

[dye_dan]

I'm planning on going. No winch but a come-a-long and good tow points.

Can someone give me a good idea of how to get to this meeting place from the University? I don't know where the Scolaris is.

Thanks

[cblood™]

I will be there, but riding my quad, and I will have a buddy, he may be bring a .40 cal. :hyper:

[Reno Computer Repair]

I'll bring my Bushmaster XM-15, or maybe the Tommy Gun :thumbsup:
Bling-Bling :eek:

[Jibs]

I'm in, but I'd have to ride with someone, the Brat's got carb troubles right now, and I'm waiting for stuff to show up so I can fix it. Anyone got a spare seat though?

[Scrub]

Well i dont think that im gonna make this run guys, my 4x4 is still on the crapper plus i have to work in the morning and do some other 'Family' things. hopfully next run i can go on :D

[Connect]

Awwww come on man, you gotta come, its like tradition :)

Scolaris is in the strip mall on the corner of mc-carren and caughlin parkway/cashill blvd.
heres the address in case you want to mapquest.com it or something.

4788 Caughlin Parkway
Reno, NV 89509

Jibs im sure there will be plenty of extra seats, I will have 4 open lol.

Bring the xm-15!!!!

Only reason I reccomend a winch is because renohilton might have big clearence issues and a v-crack or two where a locker would really help his limited flex. (hope you got a tcase skid man)

[Reno Computer Repair]

Jibs,

Give a private message to connect, I know he will have extra seating. I am taking a full load in my Jeep........Or just show up at Scolaris, sure someone should have a seat....

[Connect]

Oh, I will be running the AC 75% of the time (cherokees do it in climate control) If it's that hot out.

I think I'm going to replace my front diff u-joint today, the front end was making some funny noises in 4low at angles :scratchhe

[dye_dan]

We'll be able to drag renohilton around if we have to :D But with enough momentum he should be able to make it over dirt v-cracks. Of course I haven't seen this trail yet...

Looking forward to it, probably my last run in Reno before I move.

AC would be nice... I'll be sweaty and covered with dust by the end of the run for sure.

[Connect]

it's the one dirt v-crack that I'm scared to do, but of course with my lift im scared to get momentum up for fear of breaking something.

I do hope we make it all the way, be a first for myself, and hope you enjoy it to being your last trip and all.

Where you moving to?

[dye_dan]

Moving to Logan, Utah to go to Utah State.

Think the snow is gone so we can get up to the lake now?

[Connect]

haha definatly :) as long as nothing breaks the lake looks like a wholeshot.

[dye_dan]

Cool.

I'm sure nothing will break :disagree:

[Reno Computer Repair]

I should change my name to Got Winch? LOL :eek:
It's good to be the village handicap :thumbsup:
See you all at 9am........

[Connect]

yea, I woke up at 6:30 and thought I was late for some reason....

See you all in an hour.

[Scrub]

Have a good run guys take some good pics so you can rub it in my face that i aint goin :bustedrun:

-Matt-

[Jibs]

I can't make it either, I gotta drive to Sacramento and help my Grandma pack up an antique show. sorry, maybe next time.

[Connect]

:worthless

Good run, nothin broke, lake was less then impressive but the weather was nice at the top. good 5-6 hour run, gas gauge was tippin towards the end their :)

Here are some crappy cell phone pics, wait for renohilton to upload some good quality ones.

The grand cherokees lead the way "If the stocker can do it, so can we!"

The oh so illusive Hunter "Lake" (ok marsh with 10'x10' pond) heard there was a fish or two...

We went down the Boomtown way, easier, faster (can you say downhill gravel roads!), more mud :woot2: :woot2:

Renohilton scratched his rear right LCA mount a little, other then that good job all around.

[Reno Computer Repair]

Maybe I should rename to ATE_BOULDER_HARD!!!! :crazy:

So I did runinto some of you guys. Did the land cruiser have classic rod plates??
If so I saw 2 CJ's and one land cruiser around 4 o'clock at the "lake" Was that you all???

[Connect]

no we were done by about 2:30 or 3

Saw alot of quads up there though, thought one might of been you but I guess not. Why weren't you there at 9 man we waited!

PS> Can you email me the poser pics as well as the one of my hood with the field behind it, awesome pic that'll be my new desktop :) cptmorgan7@sbcglobal.net
