So Upon Closer inspection, I'm not really comfortable giving you the "weird" tire. because it has areas where the sidewall is separating from whatever the hell layer is underneath it. I'll give you the next gooder one. It has 2 minor splits in a similar fashion to the ones on the weird tire, but they arent bad. On the weird tire i could actually get my finger under the flaps that were splitting, this one just has 2 minor half inch long cracks. Should be perfect for a spare. I dont feel comfortable giving you the other one, but I'll give you this better onerainman wrote:Yes and thank you!Dr. Marneaus wrote:So you'd still like the spare?
Meh...I've probably driven on worse either way. It only needs to get me off the trail...or maybe to AAA tow range.Dr. Marneaus wrote:So Upon Closer inspection, I'm not really comfortable giving you the "weird" tire. because it has areas where the sidewall is separating from whatever the hell layer is underneath it.

Disclaimer simply to cover my ass: you should never ever ever ever ever try to drive on this tire ever.
There, lol.
Well then this better one will work. It's already loaded into the jeep. Are you camping? Or meeting up Sunday.rainman wrote:

I hope to meet up with you Saturday afternoon with enough time to find a tire shop mount and balance the spare tire. Maybe we can find a suitable place for dinner too.Dr. Marneaus wrote:Well then this better one will work. It's already loaded into the jeep. Are you camping? Or meeting up Sunday.
Staying at hotel in Bridgeport (with family.) Breakfast is allegedly included in our stay, but I like a heartier breakfast so wouldn't mind meeting up somewhere tasty with more/most/all of the group.Dr. Marneaus wrote:Us guys that are camping, how many are we? Are we going to go to breakfast on Sunday am? I'm only planning to bring food for Friday night and may actually eat in town.
I was thinking maybe we would meet up in Lee Vining at Nicelys, or at lease the camping folks because its on the way to Bodie from June Lake.rainman wrote: Staying at hotel in Bridgeport (with family.)

I agree with the above. I was planning to eat at the food truck at the brewery, but that also depends on if and how many fishes I catch. Either way I am going to be bringing Reuben supplies and my pudgy pie irons yum! that should provide dinner and lunch if it aint a poke stack from the food truck or some fresh trout. I'll probably bring a gas grill too in case of the fishes. Breakfast in the AM at Nicely's it is!Cheap Hobby wrote:We are planning to eat in town on Saturday but are bringing dinner just in case. Will also be Sunday lunch if needed. Breakfast on Sunday sounds good. Nicely's in Leevining will work. It son the way and we know it will be open. Still not sure what time we will be there Saturday, planning on noon o'clock at latest.
I'd be glad to lend a hand, set up a tent, light the fire, entertain the kids with the dog, drink some of your beer to help lighten your cooler, etc.miltos68wgoneer wrote:We are rolling into camp around 8:00pm Jeep Gods willing. I hate setting up camp at night let alone driving mountain roads at night. I'll light a fire first to keep the kids warm. I do not know if we are in for breakfast yet or not, kind of on a tight budget
Thank you, but I'll be there tonight. Unless I misunderstood your plans, I thought you were heading up tomorrow?Dr. Marneaus wrote:I'd be glad to lend a hand, set up a tent, light the fire, entertain the kids with the dog, drink some of your beer to help lighten your cooler, etc.
Whoops, yeah, nevermind. I'll still drink your beer though if you need help with that!miltos68wgoneer wrote:Thank you, but I'll be there tonight.

BEEPY. I know how that goes though.Cheap Hobby wrote:At this point in time we have to back out. 4 week client has turned in to a 6 week client. Have to cancel campsite as soon as get back from Palm Springs this evening. Sucks.
