Riding conditions were outstanding. We weren't too far away (Dirt Diggers Camp) and the trails were perfect. Not a speck of dust. We'll be at Teagle Wash next weekend. We plan to be closer to Cal City this coming weekend, might actually be in Cal City or right on the edge of it off of Randsburg Road. I'd don't plan on doing a lot of riding, like our last 2 trips when we were with friends; this is going to be a more relaxing type of camping/riding trip with my bride. Weather is looking good for this coming weekend.903Views0likes0CommentsRe: Time to ride

Yes it got chilly out there. Especially when the wind kicked up. Still a good time.903Views0likes0CommentsRe: Onboard generators

Leaving portable gen at home, no reason for it (have solar). Coffee will be, boiling water, pouring into a Malita style Funnel with filter into a insulated caraffe.696Views0likes0CommentsRe: Onboard generators

Generator. Easiest way to make coffee in the morning. Also gets a head start on re-charging the batteries after running the heater quite a bit overnight, solar charges them back up the rest of the day. Once and awhile use the generator for AC. Propane or gasoline? I've heard nothing but bad things about propane generators. Gasoline, I've had no issues with it.696Views0likes0CommentsRe: Costco batteries
My 35' Toy Hauler has four 5-year old Costco (cheap Interstate), still going strong. I have a watering system on them so easy to add water every month. My 17' trailer has two 5-year old Costco, both bad. I did not keep up with adding water, because it's difficult to get to them, I should have put a watering system on them. Today I bought two new Costco (cheap Interstate) batteries to replace the two that went bad (my negligence).573Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mammoth Area Camping - Inyo NF
I read somewhere that so many people are dispersed camping in the forest around there it was becoming a mess. Many dumping trash and tanks in the forest. City of Mammoth has asked dispersed campers to use the dump station at the Water District facility in Mammoth City and not dump in the forest. They have opened a lot, not all, of the National Forest campgrounds in Mammoth and June Lakes to try get people out of the forest.325Views0likes0CommentsRe: OHV Camping and Riding

I know that Twin Lakes opened this past weekend. Some of the Bridgeport area opened, and I think the Virginia Lakes area opened as well.578Views0likes0Comments
