4th of July 2008 Camping Trip @ Mammoth Lakes

[CrnCnn]

Sorry we missed it. It was nice to hang out with the family. Plus there were Fights this weekend.

Not to highjack.... Some coworkers want to go offroading soon. I have to fix my truck but I wanted to put it out there.

Sorry we missed it.

Just wait till you see the pics from the mountain we wheeled up yesterday!! But don't feel too bad, you also missed out on some awesome $5/gallon gas in Mammoth!

Yeah, I still really want to go find the Lagomarsino Petroglyph Site. Let me know when you are ready. You should talk to Beau, he was Clicky McClickerson all day yesterday. It seems you guys are both in the same CV boot boat. I just hope my boots last. James is gonna hafta come up for that with some 912s ready to install.

Cant wait for the pics....

Sounds like another trip will be in order.?.?.?.

Yea, then we can all change our CV boots out @ the same time
I think it will be some time b4 the lift, as I want to put the spare in the back seat area ala pre runner style, and can't do that till SnowtrooperJr can sit in the front.
I am processing trip pix, and will post some soon.

Just noticed this was my 400th post! Thanks for the inspiration, Bart & ldub

A LITTLE LIGHT WHEELING TO WARM THINGS UP:





AND THEN SOME REAL WHEELING ON SUNDAY, TRAIL:



















3 VXes at nearly 10,000 feet above sea level = cool.

Definitely. But I think we need to get James up this way and head out to the Petroglyphs first.

GO TEAM VENTURE!

[snowtrooper1966]

^Brutal, yet funny!

A mere 3,060 to go. Should hit that by next week
BTW, I am older than you, son.....

Strange, I remember driving over that standing rock in the second to last pic under Beau's front end and wondering WTH??

Great Pix!
I'll post mine one by one to bolster my count!
Best,

[nfpgasmask]

What a beautiful place! Team Venture is disturbing though!

LOL, yeah, hopefully Beau will like my photoshoppery.

Bart

[Ascinder]

Nice.

[nfpgasmask]

So James, where are your pics? Come on, Bro! We're waiting!

Bart

PS - Sorry Beau, I couldn't resist...:bwgr:

[kodiak]

Looks like you had a blast, Nice pix!

[snowtrooper1966]

Team Venture rules!
OK, here is what I have...
Not too sure what possesed me to finally detail the Dragon the night before we went wheeling, but thanks for the Trim Shine tip, Bart!


Detailed Dragon in the AM:



And a few hours later:





I can't begin to tell you all how cool it was to look in my rear view and see this:






I have been approached by my friends in the past few days telling me they saw a "squadron" of VX's driving through town.....:bwgr::bgwp:



Here we are on approach to the trail on Sunday:



and the final shot I have to add, descending the same trail from the lake:




Again, I can't tell you how great it was for you to make the trek out here! I appreciate the brotherhood, and was happy to help make it come together. Hopefully we can at least get the entire Reno VX contingent next time!
Looking forward to coming out to Reno soon....
Best,

I agree. Its always wicked to have a few VXes in formation. Just wait till Moab, there is nothing like 20+ VXes rolling out together.
