Nobody go anywhere lately?
LOL that time of year I guess. Holidays and family time.
We went to Dumont between Christmas and New years but thats it.
Was supposed to go to Calico this weekend but we cancelled. Need to stay home for a couple weekends and get some stuff done here.
Want to try and go camp some where new once a month.

We go camping to a full hookup spot throughout winter, even have had snow. A guy in the campground told me to get electric space heaters. Might as well as use all the electric and save the propane. I now have that thing running 24/7.

I like it for the kids to ride their bikes. Never got to try it when they had the lake open.
 
Winter boating.... 20250113_170914.jpg
 
We're headed to Calico for 4 days this weekend with the So Cal Bronco group to do some 4 wheeling. Staying at the Calico campground. Then the morning after I get back I get to fly from TJ to Puerto Vallarta to help bring a boat across to Cabo. Hoping for calm seas.
 
I went to Coloma on the American River in late Novenber, and Jackson, CA in December. I was supposed to go to Monterey for New Years, but canceled because it was supposed to rain the whole time. I'm going to Napa in a couple weeks.

My wife booked a spot at Flying Flags, which I think is near Pismo Beach. I had to cancel due to work. When I canceled I found out it was $285 a night. 😳😳 Jeezus...no thank you.

Superstition ‘The Dip’ for MLK weekend
KOH - Jan 29 to Feb 7

I suck at taking photos, so not much will be taken :)
Still pending my pit assignments for KOH. If I get assigned remote pit for desert weekend, I will be skipping the fun At Chocolate @ night.

Going to Ocotillo Saturday- Monday this week. The holidays really threw us off and we ended up going to Havasu for New Years to offroad instead of hitting the So Cal desert.

New Years desert camping. Weather was great, people were great, vibes were great, and no major mechanicals. Cannot get any better.

Great to see a big group that rides bikes, sadly, my MC group has dwindled down to just a couple of us left on two wheels. Most of my old riding buddies are now in a SxS and getting fatter by the day.....lol.
 
We were in Ocotillio for a week over New Years with our 4x4 club. The weather was amazing. No wind for six days.

Well, it was hardly camping for us although many in the group did in San Felipe for a 5 day weekend for the 3rd annual Baja Jeep Weekend. My 2nd time to this event in the Bronco.
I ran into an old timer that lives there full time now who remembered me from back in the day. He had the only other Bronco. He bought his place in '78 in the front row of the campground we used to stay at when we first started going there for the Mid Winter's West Hobie Cat Regatta in '82. Most of the people we met that lived there have passed on, but a few still remain. Good times. We stayed our first night at the Chenowth Legacy Lodge, which I highly recommend. Lynn Chenowth is there most every day if he's in town.
We had tacos in the desert via a 4wd Taco Truck that meets us every year at a pre-determined isolated location. The weather was great. It got up to about 80 on Friday & Sat.
 
Camping/SxS riding in the El Passo's near Ridgecrest next weekend.
 
I havent camped because my trailer has been in the shop for the 4th time because the generator has some kind of issue.

1st time took it to Genesis, they said they cant work on it because its under Cummins warranty
2nd time took it to Giant RV (Cummins authorized repair shop), said it was the governor and adjusted it.
3rd time took it back to Giant RV, they said it was something about the computer, fixed/replaced it
4th time back to Giant RV, they are now saying the generator ground was loose and they didnt catch it the first two times because the whole generator had to be removed to get to it. And the catch now is that Cummins wont pay for the repair because they dont install the generator and make that ground connection and Genesis says we are past my 1 year warranty on the trailer, so now I am stuck with the bill for a generator repair that hasnt worked right since I got the trailer...

Jeezus, what a bullshit game they play.
 
We're doing Bolsa Chica at the end of the month, paso robles in March for the kid's spring break and then road trip to Minnesota in June. Can't wait.
 
Wish I was camping this weekend.
Instead - RV in shop for a EQ leveling Jack that drops while traveling. Under warranty, but the waiting game sucks.
Pick up my daughters new to her SXS Wednesday.

Hoping to get 1 or 2 more desert camping trips in, but travel volleyball is killing the weekends.
 
Going to be a good camping weekend. Rain has stopped and the desert is sucking all the water in for dust control!!

That’s fucking bullshit I’ll be pissed!
 
Got our coach back about a week and a half ago after our breakdown last trip. Had a great weekend in Ocotillo. Super windy on Friday but yesterday was bitchin! Came home today for a birthday party tonight and it’ll be nice not having to race to get things cleaned and put away.

What was the culprit on your breakdown?
 
Did 4 days in Glamis. Good times except there was a fatal crash within eye sight. RIP to the deceased.

Sooo, I paid the shop to "fix" the ground wire just cause I was tired of the back and forth and wanted my trailer back for Presidents Day weekend...pick it up on Friday, head out to Ocotillo on Saturday morning....within the first 30 minutes of running the generator, it shut off again...and for the rest of the weekend it had the same issue its been having since day one....so their fix, didnt fix shit....
 
We did some winter camping at China Peak ski area last Thursday-Sunday. We went there over New Years as well. China Peak is one of, if not the only, ski areas that allows RV parking. 30amp service only, no water or sewer. It’s a pretty slick deal.
