Soggy Dry Lake in Johnson Valley

[wbimota]

Last weekend, I went to BigBear mountain with church people.
It was very good chance to have offroading experience.
Regarding to BenToast's information - thanks Ben - I made plan to Soggy Dry Lake.
Soggy Lake is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge flat dirt area, so you can run highspeed, donut, what ever you want with your awesome truck.
Even it was Sat. morning of long weekend, there were not many people.
Just few ATVs and bikes who run around the playground and mostly hill trails.
The central area was empty and big like x4 of football field. Maybe bigger.
It was great exprience of offroading and I highly recomend you to visit there.

Mornign at BigBear mountain


7,000ft Alt.



On the way to Soggy. Camp Rock Rd.


I got wrong way. You should use Bessemer Mine Rd from 247 Old Woman Spring Rd.



Finally arrived Soggy!!



The surface looks like this.


View from hill


This is Bessemer Mine Rd. It is long straight flat road. I didnt run fast because it was my first time, but you can possibly jump.


Got dirt?

There are many more dry lakes, so I will try different ones.

Watch where you use that all that power, or the Raptor will happily send you closer to God than any of your church people have ever gone :thumbsup: You were hauling ass for a while there, dry lakes are fun huh? You should try El Mirage next, they actually do SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) time trials eery month -August and the lake is way bigger, 5 miles end to end

I tried slide my tail on high speed and made sudden turn, the body leaned too hard, so I thought I would flip over.
But this truck is stable enough to maintain my stupid hard move thanksfully.

I ran 40~70mph because I was not really got used to it. I felt like 90s but the meter showed me 70. LOL
I set 4x4H with differ locked and the sport mode(simple one press mode).
And it was super duper fun!! I think I would go there next Sat. too or other dry lakes.
