The Lonely Pinos 250 Prelander run. Bring the kids

[4lowlance]

**See post 112 on page 6 for most current info**




Mark your calendars, I’ll fill in the details as we approach.

Tentative plan,

Optional meetup outside of Lone Pine at Tuttle Creek CG Wednesday night 4/10

Official meetup Thursday 4/11 at the Alabama hills cafe in Lone pine for breakfast.

Drive north and east.
Route TBD

Maybe do Mt Patterson or the Whites depending on snow.

Maybe Loop through Nevada.

NOT going to Mammoth,
and trying to avoid death valley

This is a Go Fast/See More Prelander trip and the pace will be fast,

HOWEVER,

I plan to stop earlier in the day to setup camp and make the trip enjoyable for kids.
I’ll bring both of mine 13Y/O daughter and 11Y/O son.

I’ve done too many trips with too many hours on the road and made the days miserable for my kids. I really want to focus on making things fun for them while keeping a fast Prelander pace during the day.

I want to include the kids around the fire which means (mostly) watching the F bombs and R rated stories. This isn’t a church trip, but I want it to be really good for my kids and I hope you guys will bring yours.

I plan to be back in Ventura Sunday night.


Ideas? Thoughts? Open invite, just remember the pace will be “brisk”

4x4 required

I love that area. I planned a trip from mammoth to tonopah with intent to stay at a miners cabin on night one and the clown motel on night two.

How many miles do you plan to cover each day?

If profanity by the fire is frowned upon because children, I’m probably not the best participant. Bummer.

Keeping Ryan from swearing while talking is akin to holding an Italian’s hands still

I'd love to do a kid centric trip but ironically one of the kids is racing that weekend.

 

[the bodj]

No kids, but I'll see about the wife and I cruising along for this.

 

[WW_RANGER_X]

He clearly specified 4x4 only. You and me, we are out!! I need to finish my Tacoma

 

[4lowlance]

You guys are light enough to pull

Shoot I missed this. Guess my TTBs without a driveshaft don't qualify

I'm planning on getting the coilovers on the front of 4runner before KOH so I think I'd be able to keep a decent pace and drag who everywhere... unless it's KenVP ( @Endless Trails ) that thing is big haha.

We shall see....

@dwphoto don't you still have the overlander Tacoma?

If I need pulling then I am probably broke and I don't think that would be fun for the 22re.

You have time to put together a shaft by then. With locking hubs it doesn't have to be perfect if you are only using it when times are desperate.

@4lowlance Making time for a sit down breakfast and getting into camp early. Next you will be saying we don't have to be on the trail by 7:30. Who posted this and what have you done with Lance?
