THANKSGIVING 2025 PLANS?

Got reports that Cal City is still really soggy and muddy. My brother in law got out there with his setup (Ram 3500 and toy hauler) on saturday and got stuck pretty good. Also saw other reports/posts of people stuck out there trying to park. Just a heads up if anyone plans to come out that way with a heavy setup.

Hopefully it's a little dryer by tomorrow. Not trying to sink my motorhome

go to the dunes then.
and be a man that's not afraid of the skinny pedal................
 
Yeah Myself, My parents and a couple others got stuck in some sand on the road over Halloween. Everywhere the water can run was full of silt, where it wasn't washed out. Careful out in Cal City dudes and dudettes.

Cougar Butte's looked awesome Went out to our camp last weekend, while @the_fablab_ @Bruce_is_boring @Adventure Endeavor were out shock tuning with Tyler from Arizona Chassis Engineering.
 
Gordon's was PACKED for Thanksgiving.
I mean, not packed as it used to be in the early 2000's, but packed as fuck compared to the past 8 or 9 years.

can't really see in this pic of the campground area unless you zoom way in, but t was packed near the entrace/vendor row/what used to be "vendor row" hah

trip was cut short due to........ well, personal issues with EX/baby momma & boyfriend who was out there as well, parenting time with my son out there, just all that mumbo jumbo. i ended up throwing a Brogan type/aged TBI temper tantrum over it all so we just came home Saturday midday.
nothing broke though, everyone was safe, 20251127_163023.jpg

We had a blast. Didn’t run the big loop like I wanted on Thursday, but @4lowlance came out to camp for a couple nights so we did a 50 mile run into Boron to visit the Boron Aerospace Museum. We also ran into Randsburg on Friday. It was an absolute mad house but super fun. I broke a CV shaft trying to pull a heavy motorhome out. With the IWE deletes in, it made for a noisy ride home. Can’t wait for the next one!
