Road & Dirt Adventure with my oldest
My oldest & I took the long way up to our local base camp area (approx. 9 hours) where we go wheelin. This time we went directly East across the valley to Pine Flat on up to Black Rock Reservoir on up to Wishon Reservoir down through the McKinley Grove trees past Dinky Creek on up to Saver Lake to fuel up & grab some pizza before we headed up toward Huntington Lake to Bald Mountain base camp approx. 6 miles in from Tamarac Ridge Snow Park.

Six Days near Bald Mountain Trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
Six Days near Bald Mountain Trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
The last week of June I took my family up the local mountains to a annual event called Moonlight Madness. The main event runs from dusk till we hours of the morning. The 6x12 box trailer just does not fit my growing family any more so we decided to splurge with a RV from Cruise America. We had a great time & the showers are even better. I'm trying to post with Instagram vids to see how it works out verses YouTube, tell me what you think.

Buck Rock Trail & Lookout Tower Day Trip
My oldest daughter & I made a run for the fire tower at Buck Rock in the Sequoia National Forest. We met up with several wheelers from the Central Valley Crawlers Club that was doing trail work for the Forest Service, one of them is a good friend named @ToyotaDon. It was a fast paced 14 hour 270 mile day that blurred right past us. We had so much fun I all most forgot to get pics, but we did get a few & would like to share them with you. Enjoy!

Turf n Surf 2017
Turf n Surf 2017
Late update... time sure flies.
Late update... time sure flies.
Back in November we made a 270 mile 17 hour day trip to the TurfnSurf 2017 event. It all went by to fast, it was an awesome time.
These 80 series rigs are the best family rigs ever, run then down the freeway for hours, wheel them all day long then go back down the freeway all the way home. Simply amazing.
~~~~~~~~
Since that great day at Turf N Surf the Lx has been pulling DD duty.
Thanksgiving happened.
Christmas happened.
Winter happened, but rain didn't happen, well very little, so no snow play days for us this year.
There has been no time for play as of late, work, family & other responsibilities etc...
Wow, time sure does fly bye.
~~~~~~
The Cruiser has been very dependable no real mechanical issues except a drip of power steering fluid once in awhile, this is on the list.
Well I might as well write my lists:
Needs:
New fuel tank, charcoal canister & while I'm in there stuff.
Power steering rebuild.
Electric fan install.
Front & rear axle rebuild.
Wants:
5:29s
Tubing rear quarter panel protection.
Winch
Roof rack
Bucket list:
Swamp Lake Trail
Spanish Lake Trail
Coyote Lake trail
Rubicon
Dusy Ershim Trail
If I even get to do two of those in 2018 it will be a good 2018.
