As far an off road route from Bay Area to Sac? Good luck , let me know if you find one . Closest good wheelin' to Bay Area is Hollister or Cow Mtn. Beyond that , the western slope of the Sierra is only 3-4 hours from Bay Area . A lifetime of wheelin' there ...

Yeah, I'm up on the Rubicon at least 1x a year and other trails.

I'm researching to find some off pavement (any difficulty right now) routes between say I-5 (Pacheco Reservoir) to Monterrey (i.e., Los Padres NF). I've found a ton of "Jeep Trails" and need to determine their continuity and status. I wasn't very specific initially and just tossed the question loosely to ya.

If you have any ideas, then please PM me as I don't want to go Off topic any further.

Thanks!

Great write-up. Thanks for the awesome pics.

What were the temps like when you went?

 

[v_man]

Very nice temps , high in low 70's midday , down to 45 at night ...

 

[RobRed]

Looking good Vincent. Lets plan something local and get our ladies introduced!

 

[v_man]

Ok Rob , beers work for me , or Big Sur :smiley_drive:

 

[RobRed]

Yeah we could have a beer-pedition - Dakota (aka CoCoTLC) is known to have tossed a few cold ones back

 

[OSV]

that old coors can is classic! i drank my share of 'em! >ack!<

thanks for a great report!

if you think of the name of that mine, please post it up.

I do not know the name of the mine, sorry to be ambiguous , I'm looking for it online . It is just before you reach the southern turnoff for the Eureka Valley Sand Dunes . You take a steep , gnarly , narrow trail up about 1,000 feet into the mountains to see this old site . I don't think it gets visited much.

I just barely noticed this report. Looks like you guys had a fun time:sombrero:

 

[peneumbra]

Well, if you lived in Darwin, you could do this every weekend...

 

[v_man]

Thanks Hank , it was fun !

Killer report. You think Dedeckera Canyon and Lippicott is doable with a full size rig width wise? I mean I don't want to tear up my van just to take any of those trails. They seem to change yearly and I have had friends with vehicles like mine do both of those yet lately the road report wasn't good for Lippincott. I did Mengel at night and it wasn't a problem at all.
Thanks. Looks like you had a great time.
