California

Lake Tamarak: Miklos Kovacs' 1993 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ80, with TJM bumper bars, safari snorkel, and roof rack. In summer ('01) MK will be spending a week surveying the area of Trinity Alps and Shasta for all the hard to find trails; there are more lakes and caves out there. The trail begins at Castle Crags National park; some maps show the lake, some do not. The lake has a trail description in the Pacific Crest Trail book and in the California book. (Castle Crags Park is [41.10N, 122.20W] at the northern end of the Sacramento valley, about 250km north of Sacramento, 80km south of the Oregon border.)

My 1999 TJ articulating in Big Bear, California, 12/'99. (Big Bear Lake is about [34.15N, 116.80W], NE of San Bernardino, about 120km E of Los Angeles.) Over $7000 of extra's, this TJ will go almost anywhere! It's a killer TJ. Performs well offroad and on HWY. You can't beat it.

It has a 3" TeraFlex Suspension System w/Upper Control Arms, Slip Yoke Eliminator w/new Drive Shaft, XD9000i Warn (4.6HP) Winch, 33" Bridgestone Dueler A/T Tires, 15x10" Center Line Wheels, Currie Enterprises front and Rear Rock Bumpers, IPF Offroad Lights
