    Hells yeah!

    We'll meet Fri at noon at the southern end of Johnson Valley. If you can't make that, we can coordinate another meet spot later in the day

    I'll set up a PM so we can all discuss the details

    I'll probably have to meet up a few hours later. Would anyone like me to bring my generator?

    Updated first post: I changed the meal assignments. Dirk, you and John are paired for Sat breakfast. Dan, let us know if you need help with Sun breakfast. I'll take Fri dinner.

    I need everyone to check in and let us know how many in your truck so we can plan the meals.

    I will be somewhere between Apple Valley and Lucerne Valley around noon on Friday. The loose plan is to cross Johnson Valley northbound then make camp somewhere in Rasor Dunes. You can either meet us around noon on Fri, meet us at camp in the evening, or meet us somewhere in between but I'll have a to coordinate a specific time. I will start a PM so we can coordinate exact meet points. I still have to work on exact routes so bear with me.

    Bring lots of firewood! I can only carry 4 bundles and its going to be cold. Make sure you bring proper clothes and sleeping gear, night temps on the second night might drop below freezing.

    There will be plenty of fuel stops, but I always carry an extra 5 ga just in case.

    @Vizsla are you confirmed?

    Nitto Exo Grapplers in LT285/70R18. I've had them for about 38,000 miles now and I guess that the sidewalls just couldn't take it anymore. I may have hit a few obstacles too hard on my last trip off-road...

    Alright, I got some new tires so I should be good to go for this trip. These LT285/75R18 Geolandar A/T look good:

    I can't promise that; I've been through Dry Soda Lake when slightly wet and don't want to truly know how bad it can get...

    Updated first post: Roy is out. @Spolar is confirmed to arrive Friday night

    I'm having problems with my nav apps, but I'll be working on specific routes today. Also, it looks like they got a lot of rain so thats going to change some of the routes we take. Be prepared for mud...

    Bring as much fuel as you can. If anybody cannot carry extra fuel let me know. Sat might be a long run between fuel stops. I'm going to carry an extra 10g

    Matt, I'm bringing my N2 if you want to play with your bumps.
