Forum: Past Events & Trip Reports

Bunch of grumpy old farts going on a ride tomorrow. We are going to meet at the Golden Valley Raley's around 0940 on Sunday and head up to Cold Springs, go in behind Bordertown and up towards Crystal Peak and into Dog Valley, then up to Henness Pass (snow depending) and then we will decide which way to go from there. Sober people with working rigs, recovery gear, and minimum 32" tires welcome to attend. One locker recommended or at least a good limited slip. This will hopefully be a fast paced run since we're over the whole poser shot, flex on a rock thing. The only thing that will slow us down is food and being stuck or broken parts. There will be at least 2 winches on this run, so don't be scared. As long as you have recovery points and a strap you will be fine.

I am planning on moving to the area. Don't know the local wheeling but would like to join some guys for a day if anyone is going out. Must leave on the 4th for TDS. Thanks, Thom

I made it down to Las Cruces again this year for the annual Chile Challenge. I really enjoy this event, awesome rockcrawling, great vehicles and people, and the best part for me is that it is only a couple of hours away so instead of hopping on a plane I can actually bring my truck. :cool: Friday I ran Tabasco Twister, which features many of the ledges that Cruces is famous for, including "The Abyss". http://www.harrysituations.com/cruces/m_IMG_9018.jpg http://www.harrysituations.com/cruces/m_IMG_8962.jpg http://www.harrysituations.com/cruces/m_IMG_8995.jpg

Im goin tonight so if you want to jest pm me of tell me.

On Sunday 1-31 we installed a 2" Skyjacker lift in my TJ. When we were done, we just HAD to try it out. We (Kyle XJ, my daughter, and myself) headed up HLT. We got about a mile past the Trail Sign when Kyle got stuck and we decided to head back down. Near the bottom, there is a large mud puddle we HAD to go through. Nothing special, but when we were done, I noticed some awsome patterns in the mud on my back window. It looks like a floral pattern from a casino carpet or something. If you look closely (and squint just right), there is even a demonic face in there! http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp197/bitosin/HLT%20and%20MUD/101_4469.jpg http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp197/bitosin/HLT%20and%20MUD/101_4470.jpg http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp197/bitosin/HLT%20and%20MUD/101_4513.jpg

So I just got the itch to do some wheeling tonight and was thinking of going through Dog Valley RD from Bordertown. I've got a 1/4 tank of gas, my wind breaker and a shovel out of my nephew's sand castle kit. I'm heading out right now.

Going to go to the last obstacle then turning around after failing at getting up it :) anyone want to join? So far its me and Alboy. 229-1194 probably around 7-8 ish

summit attempt and/or road 41641A (the road to the other towers)?

Today HaleyAnthony led us ( Alby, Kyle, and myself) up a small canyon above Wadsworth. About 2 miles up Hwy 447 we turned off on a dirt road heading towards the hills. The road became a trail and then just a creek-bed at the bottom of the canyon. At the top of the canyon were some old mines and eventually we got onto a decent trail again. Hoping to find a back way out, we followed this trail until we got to a pipe-laying operation and one of the workers said we couldn't go beyond that point. So we had to turn around and look for another way out. We couldn't find one, so we had to go back out the way we came in, back down the creek-bed. The canyon was not too bad, lots of off-camber spots and a few bits of pucker factor. Some good sized rocks along the way but they were passable (mostly) I managed all right on 31's with 2" lift. Lots of mud and some places of deep snow along the way. Pics uploading now.....

Peavine snow run - Feb 06, 2010 (Saturday) Leaving 10am from the Kings Row OHV staging area. Following RareCJ up the mountain. Will attempt the summit and road 41641A (the road less traveled)

Monday morning meeting at 8:30 am at the store with the RV park in Wadsworth. Unless somebody who knows Wadsworth better than me can come up with a better easier place to meet in Wadsworth. Going to run a narrow little canyon I was in a couple of years ago off 447. It looks like White Horse Canyon on the maps. It starts off easy and just gets harder as it gets deeper. Theres lots of old mining sites and should make for an interesting day.

Kyle and I were thinking of going up to Prison hill tomorrow. Anybody else want to join? We would be leaving Reno by 12 pm.
