WOW! What a trip! Thank you for sharing it with us! It's a drizzly, wet day up in Crestline so I had the time to watch the entire 5 sections... How did you loose your steps? Were they just hooked and bounced off?.... Did the dent on the front of your Lance happen on this trip?.... Did you have to back track the entire trip or is there another way out at the end where you took the photo at the cattle gate?.... Made me a bit woozy in a couple of sponts, especially on the last leg out. I'd LOVE to do this trip but am not as confident as you are, plus, my 2wd dually and monster Lance would NEVER fit or be able too! Anyway, Thank you again!

Cheers!

That dent was not from any off road adventure, it was than at home accident, since no hole was created and no inside damage I just let it be.
One continues on out on the Mineral Road and up another set of switch backs, the only time you need to turn around is if the trail is flooded over or washed out. You do need a 4 wheel drive, having a camper makes it a must if you want to make all the way around.

Oh! also, how much air did you let out of your tires to make the trip and why do you loosen the tie downs?... wouldn't that make the camper lurch side to side and yank harder on the connections?

So many questions, but this is new for me in terms of 4x4 camper trips...

Thanks!

I'd aired down to 35 psi in all four tires, this is to help with reducing the bouncing around. As far as loosing the tie down this is to keep them from being pulled out, this may not be as big of a problem pop-up camper but its a problem with hardsides on this type of trail.
