Main Divide

Rode Main Divide with Linda.  David came along with his Land Cruiser.  Switching vehicles every so often, I realized how planted the Land Cruiser feels, even at speed.  My 4Runner slid around a bit during fast turns while the Land Cruiser never felt unpredictable.  We were riding along with the guys from SCORE Meet-up group, but we were late so we had to play catchup, which was not difficult with the speed David wanted go.  Once we caught up, we went on ahead.  Got to the other side in Corona on the Main Divide to discover that my key no longer works.  Locks were changed out and keys are not only going to residents.

Seasoning the wok

Got my new wok (again). I don't think I ever season these things well. After reading several articles and watching YouTube vids, it never comes out like the videos I watch.

Oakley 4Runner

Went to Oakley's corporate office to get another set of Radar glasses and saw a 4th gen 4Runner on display in the front. I traded in a pair of Oakley glasses I got back in 1987 for $60.  They gave me 25% off toward my new glasses which means I got $50 off.  That means the old pair only cost me $10 after what.... almost 26 years? Hahaha.

Sliders!!!!

Got my sliders installed... and I love it!  Looks great.  Thanks for Richard at Stubbs Welding for doing such a great job and shipping it out to me so quickly.  Also like to give a big thanks to Lance and Bob for installing it!

My First Land Ops event

My first Land Ops Meet-up event took place in the desert area just north of the 40 hwy by the Mojave Desert.  It's a tactical geocaching event where teams of truck head out to find caches that were planted throughout the area.  Had planned to leave early Saturday morning but didn't get to leave until 1pm.  I got there really late, so I only participated in the night op, which was still good.  Took about an hour and a half to get to the desert, but another two hours to get to the base camp.  Didn’t get there until dinner time.

I would guess there were about 15 to 20 trucks that showed up.  I didn’t end up camping there.  After the event, I packed up and left.  A few others did the same.

I don’t think I took the right roads that the other guys did, but cause there were so many loopy-coops, I was averaging 10 miles an hour… which was why the 19 miles to the road to two hours.
