Well it's that time of the year again! Here's the info I have so far:

Nissan Xterra USA Championship
September 25

Incline Village
Lake Tahoe, CA

It's going to be very similar to last year, highlights include:

-event shirt and goodies
-Xterra contest (with trophies)
-off-road excursion
-lunch provided

Plus much more. Last year there was a climbing wall, Xterra RC cars, massages, etc...

Janet informed me that the Big Bear event in So. Cal has 30 vehicles signed up (a new record!). We need to beat that number!!!

Please sign-up as early as you can so I can let Janet know how many vehicles to expect and so I can try to figure out something for camping/lodging.

Is my Pathfinder welcome?

If we don't run Dusy on the weekend before, I'll go.

Would we camp at Zephyr Cove, like last year? If there's going to be a larger turnout, we'd need to make reservations pretty soon.

We should plan an easy trail run (even 2WD-friendly, such as Genoa Peak ) on Saturday afternoon, and a more advanced run (i.e. Barker Pass OHV) on Sunday morning. *Note: there is an easier version of the Barker Pass route, which doesn't require driving over Dollar Hole obstacle, effectively making that run stock 4WD-friendly. (I think that's the route that Greg took last year.)

Dean, ofcourse your Pathy is welcome, as with any other Nissan truck or SUV.

So I was thinking about Zephyr Cove for this year also, but it really depends on the group size. How does everyone feel about undeveloped camping vs. developed camping? Undeveloped would be free (obviously) but no bathrooms and other simple accomidations, but it would be easier to arrange. Developed camping would require more planing and I'd need to know ahead of time an approx car count so let me know if you are considering the event.

About the wheeling, I agree with Barker. There will be two groups; modified will run Barker OHV, and stock will run Barker Loop and the area. For Sat I'm up for suggestions or what Dean suggested will work for me.

1. Huey (fairly sure I will go)
2. Sean
3. Kenny ("KJ" - Pretty sure) I know a GREAT Sushi place in North Lake.

Yeah if you can squeeze in a stock friendly run like Genoa Peak or the Barker Loop Run (you can also make a stock friendly run on this loop to the Ellis Peak lookout) on Saturday you can count me in.....as of now that date is clear on my calendar.

3. Kenny ("KJ" - Pretty sure) I know a GREAT Sushi place in North Lake.
4. Slamson00....no camping up and back Saturday

I have a wedding to go to on the 25th but I can drive up for a 1-day run on Sunday ... (if I'm end up being on call that weekend, then it's really sucks )

24 is the number to beat.. record set by SCCX

don't know where she got the number of 30 trucks.

Dunno, we were close to that in Richmond earlier this year. Don't remember the exact number, but it was a good turnout.

Yep! Richmond had 22 X's and were the record holders.. that is until this last weekend.

Anybody interested in hitting Barker Meadows after the champ event?

- Matt

***Edit***

Don't reserve your space quite yet...I need to figure out trails and may change the camping location. I'll post an update tonight or tomorrow.

There seem to be quite a few spaces open still. Each space can fit two vehicles so if you want to pair up with another member and book one spot that would work best.

***Link delted for now***

If you don't want to camp with the group, there are many hotes around Tahoe. For refernce our camp spot is in South-East Lake, so a South Lake hotel would work...or if you are tight on cash you can do a search for primative camping, there are spots near Barker that will work.

I just reviewed a map of Lake Tahoe, and it occurred to me that Barker Pass is completely on the other side of the lake from Zephyr Cove. If we participate in the event in Incline Village, we will need to drive all the way to Tahoma to run Barker Pass, then circle back around to Zephyr Cove to camp. That looks like a lot of driving to me. Perhaps it's better to run Genoa Peak on Saturday instead of Barker.

[edit: I checked campsite availability at DLBliss and SugarPine, but they're already booked.]

This sucks, I got school Friday night. Anyone rolling on Saturday Sept. 25 ? I willing to miss my Sat class for this one.

I'll join you if thats cool, truck not complete but like to meet you guys anyways.

Don't worry, most of us will be rolling up Sat morning.

Any plan for Sunday? I probably can pull a 1-day on Sunday.

Where are we camping? Zephyr Cove ? It's the only campground that still has sufficient space. We probably wouldn't have time to run the easy version of Barker on Saturday if we camp at Zephyr, so we should probably try Genoa Peak instead (which is 2WD-friendly).

I just reserved campsites for myself and others as noted below. If you plan to camp, when making your reservation at Zephyr Cove , please refer to the map on the previous page of this thread to find a suitable (and if possible, adjacent) campsite. Cost per campsite (2 vehicle/6 person max) is $31. It is likely that the beginners' trail run for Saturday afternoon will be Genoa Peak . A more advanced run on the Barker Pass trail will occur on Sunday prior to leaving the Lake Tahoe area. The minimum requirements for this trail are: all-terrain tires and lift. Sliders are highly recommended.

Please copy and paste the list below and make corrections as needed.

Thanks!

For cost calculation purposes, each campsite reservation costs $31 for one vehicle. Extra vehicles are charged an additional $5 (2-vehicle max).

So if you double-up on the campsites, you each save $31-$36/2 , or $13

Huey can probably provide more details on meeting times/places for this year's event. Last year that I arrived later in the morning because I had to pick up a truck part at 9am in Rancho Cordova. Here\'s the original thread from last year.

Caravans to Tahoe can be arranged as we close in on the date.

thats cool don't worry about it. Thanks for the info, i'll see about want time i'm going and bounce around with everyone else, maybe meet some people on the way up and just follow them.

Sorry guys, change of plans. I won't be able to make it for this event. Have a great time and take lots of pics!

tabitha

Ok, here's some more info!

***All info is tentative and can change***

Meeting times for Sat.

-6am (yes it's early...but we need to get there as early as possible) in Pleasant Hill.
-Exit 680 @ Monument Blvd (make 1st right meet at the old Montgomery Wards parking lot), just look for the deserted department store building to the right of the freeway

-8:30/9am we will be in Truckee (post if you need to meet here and I'll set up a location)

-10/10:30am we will be at Incline Village
-Our destination will be the Start/Finish spot on the map below. *if you need to meet us here let me know and I'll set up a location.


***note: you won't be able to get into the show and shine area unless you are with the group.

Here's the tentative schedual for the event.
-------------
10-10:30am Arrive at Incline Village for the Nissan Xterra Championships
-In no paticular order and times are TBD
--Show and Shine contest for Xterras only
--Display area for ALL Nissan trucks
--Lunch with Nissan (open to all Nissans)
--Off-roading with Nissan (open to all Nissans)
-Dinner with NCCX/all nissans (TBD) after the event

-----------------------------------

For Sun

*If you aren't camping with the group...

meet at the trail head for Baker Pass at 11am - @ Tahoma @ the OHV staging area
see maps and info

**Turn off Hwy89 @ McKinney Rubicon Springs Road (Tahoma)
**Follow signs for Miller Lake
**Cross Evergreen Way, follow OHV signs to McKinney-Rubicon Staging Area
**we will meet there

We will be on FRS Channel 8 (no sub-code).

More info to come...

As Dean stated those will be the trails for this year. If you don't have sliders and don't want to do Barker OHV on Sun, we can make arnagements for a group to run Barker Pass and some other trails in the area. Just let me know if there is interest for that.

BTW, below are my pics from last year for the event and pics from Barker OHV so you can see what you are up against.

That's Pleasant Hill not Pleasanton, FYI. It would suck for you to be waiting at Mickey D's on Santa Rita Rd, when the rest of us will be waiting at the old Montgomery Ward's parking lot at I-680/Monument Blvd in Pleasant Hill/Concord.

I just reserved what seems to be the last avail. campsite in this little section of the campground (other spots still avail. in the other half). We may end up with an extra site, it sounds like but thats not a bad thing. I'll be meeting early in pleasanton on Sat.

Your welcome to use my campsite #19 if need be let me know. I like to meet up with you guys somewhere on Hwy.50 if possible or in Incline?

....right, Pleasant Hill.... :p

Dave, Thank you. Sharing your space may end up being the best idea.

-Patrick

(as some of you now know) my stock x wont make it thru barker ohv but if there is any way that there can be another run set up for sun that would be cool. if thats too much trouble, (dont want to take away from any1 elses fun) maybe me & the co-pilot can ride with some one else??that would be cool too. as far as meeting up im going to be up there already so if we could cement a spot and time in tahoe that would be great! i'll give huey my celly # maybe he could give me a call when the caravan gets there!

thee only

Robert-

Subject to passenger capacity, ride-alongs are always welcome when newbies/stockers would like to experience tougher 4-wheeling from the security and safety of a more capable vehicle. The only logistical issue would be where to park your truck so it's easy to pick up after the run.

I'll have room in the jalopy (secure and safe??) if people need rides, and we can probably park people's trucks in the staging area at beginning of the trail.

- Matt

A few quick notes...

We can decide about Sun when the event comes. We can either do ride-alongs for Barker OHV or arrange for an easier run for Barker Loop.

Also no need to bring/shop for food unless you want to. All meals can be bought as we will be close to stores and retuarants.

BTW dave5434, you can meet us in Truckee, but I think it would be easier to park somewhere on Route 28 in Incline and listen for us on FRS8 at around 10am (there is a chance we will be there at 9:30 depending on traffic).

Huey, not sure what frs sands for if thats hamm radio all I have is a conventional CB, I can leave my cell# with you or someone to communicate, thanks for the info though.

Copied from another thread:
I thought this was a Nissan only event? I didn't want to crash your party. If a toyota is welcome then I just might join you guys. If not, then no problem...

Dave I sent you a Private Message with my moble number. Just give me a call that Sat and we'll meet up with ya.

Steve, you are more than welcome to join us on Sun. Sat, is a semi-Nissan only event. You can hang out with us on sat, but won't be able to enter your Toy in the show and shine contest.You can however hang out with us, attend the event, get a free lunch and schwag, and do the wheeling trip with us. Just be sure to arrive with the group.

What's Up Dave - I'm a stocker aswell, I'm like 12 miles from Vallejo, but most likely will caravan with the group with a little back tracking (which I don't mind). I'll be heading (maybe) back to the Bay Area on Sunday before the run, so if you like we can caravan back together if you decided not to ride along on the sunday run.

Huey got the message thanks sent a reply with my info just in case.

... no problem. I think we will have extra space, one way or another.

Cool thanks Patrick.

I live in incline village and have a 2000 silver X. is there any chance i could get in on this. what trail are you guys wheelin?

You're in dood!

cep' that it is not really neccessary that you give your cell phone # like that (I would delete it ASAP), who knows an asswipe might call you and tells you that the event was cancelled. PM Huey for details on how to meet up.

SuperJ, i sent you a PM back, see you at the event.

Here's a nifty trick for the Best Xterra of Show contest...you don't need a highly modded X to win as a matter of fact mods mean nothing. What they are looking for is an extremely clean X. You then get extra points for out door gear and mods attached. So if you have bike racks, bikes, canoes, camping gear, etc...you can earn big points. Keep in mind if you are camping you will need to safely store this stuff and if you are wheeling, it will need to be tightly secured!

That's right, you get big points if your X has nary a bug splat, and the tires are all dressed up. It's a car show; the more bling, the better. (If you have a modded but dirty X, it won't be as worthy as a cherried out, sparkling stock X.)

Last year, only Akio had recently washed his truck, and it looked nice! Huey and Andy both had theirs in the show, but they were dirty (especially Andy's which looked more dust-colored than black). Akio won by a long shot.

Since we're not bringing food preparation supplies with us, use that extra space for armor-all and windex!

Yea... Huey got the 1st for having a not too dirty truck w/ a long list of mods. I got the 2nd for having a shiny truck w/ a couple of mods listed, and Andy got the 3rd for having a dirty truck w/ lots of mods listed.

So, if you want to win, make sure that your truck is VERY clean as Dean said.

Oh, I thought he got 3rd by default, since there were only 3 trucks present.

Hello Everyone,

I apologize for being so out of touch with everyone lately. My job has me going cross country quite abit, but I should be able to attend more club outtings as my schedule will be back to normal soon...

Count me in for this trip...

Hopefully, Patrickmb & Robinhood150 finalized the camping arrangments for space #30 which Patrick reserved...

I'd like to use one of the camping spaces which are not taken yet...Let Me Know!!! THNX!!!

I'll check back later, I'm still in New York, but I will be back by this event...

Well, I think between the 3 of us we should be ok, but I'm not sure what ataboy is doing.

If it comes down to it, I really don't care where I stay, I've been known to sleep in the truck at rest stops.

Edit: re-read it this morning and it didn't sound right. Changed.

Oh... How (what route) are we getting to Incline Village this year? Same as last year through I-80?

hey was out of town in Reno all week, Any new info to be aware of for the trip, Change for me is I will be up there on that friday. Huey I got some radios so I will try you on FRS9, got your info just in case..

Hey Andy Welcome Back. See you there

I wont be making this trip after all. Unexpected expenses push my next trip back a little. :rolleyes:

Have a great time and good luck on the "Best of Show" contest.

Sorry guys/gals...

I can't make it.

I decided to go support my (many) friends who will be participating here:

http://www.sfdragonboat.com/intro.shtml

Since I have never camped there before... Are we allowed to have fire in the ring at this particular campground? :rolleyes: And, do we get to collect fire wood from the site?

'Cause it'll be super cold w/o fire!

[threadjack]
INXS can help you there.
[/threadjack]

Nooo.... No playing with a word... No changing the original topic... This is not "The Club House"...

I know, I know... I couldn't help it.

Originally posted by XSAL:

Yes.

And, do we get to collect fire wood from the site?

There's not really enough laying around to collect, although last year we burned a few softball-sized pine cones that we picked up around the campground. Firewood is available for purchase on-site, but if anyone has some they're willing to bring, it would probably be much appreciated!

Yeah, it's gonna be cold!

That's what I thought... I'll have some firewood...but...

Does anyone have a chainsaw? Can you bring it to the trip? You can come over to our site for real fire, instead of pine cone fire.

Dont forget about me. Huey dont forget to call me when you get up here.

Weather.com said 31 deg at night. Don't forget to bring hangers for the smores! I always forget them.

Any caravans from the south bay??? meeting place???

From Huey's post on Page 4 of this thread:

Akio, I can bring my sawzall, if noone has a chainsaw.

PLEASE...if no one responds...

Thanks Dean, missed the thread..... got too excited for the trip.

For those meeting in Incline try to find a hangout spot at the intersection of Southwood Blvd and HWY28. I'll be calling Dave5434, SuperJ, Jean, Jay and Ataboy (Ataboy, please email or PM me your cell number). Look for the group to roll in between 9:30 and 10.

See everyone else in Pleasant Hill.

Hi all,

We are going up to Tahoe Fri afternoon & have space for another vehicle Fri nite at site #18.
See you all at Incline Sat am.

Huey, I'm sending you an email with phone # so we can communicate about meeting the group.

Hello Everyone,
Luckily, I just got back from New York last night(Thursday)...

I will be able to attend this trip, and enter the Xterra Contest...Last year my X was really dusty with a ton of scratches on the sides, and I still took 2nd place...

This year, Suprise, Suprise...I went all out to get my X in Tip-Top Shape...New Fenders, New Wheels & Tires, Complete Auto Detailing, & a Brand New Paint Job...Watch Out:-)

I'll See You All There, Good Luck...

I've been sick this week and the time in the car doesn't sound apealing at this point. I'm sorry I will need to back out of this trip. My camping space is paid for and free to be used.

Awww...well, hope you feel better. Give me your info and I'll pay ya back or I can pay ya back on the next trip.
