California NorCal Jeep adventures!

In other news, this weekend's coast trip netted a jeep milestone.

Sorry for the poor quality photo. Had to capture it on the fly with my wife's help.

I agree Fordyce is more difficult then the Rubicon and I haven‘t done the entire trail. Did Rubicon three times (25 plus years ago).

If you’re serious about wanting to do the entire Fordyce Creek Trail, I always suggest attending the California Association of 4wd‘s event called Sierra Trek. PG&E reduces the outflows specifically for this event. You’ll have a better idea if you want to tackle it with a small group at a later time.

What other days can we get a rubicon trail going

 

[bobthetj03]

Signal Peak/Fordyce is not going to work out for me until Cisco Grove campground opens up, so the search continues for a group run.

Plans in my head for August 26th weekend.

Put in an email to get trail conditions. Meet up will likely be near Chico to be determined. Head up Skyway to Philbrook Res. then hit the trails. Hoping to take my grandson wheeling for the first time. Who'd like to join in? @Thunderhead and I ran this trail a few years ago. Hopefully, we can find a better way out of the south entrance, lol!

I’m probably a shoe in for this as long as my drivers don’t poop out on me.

Jim I still have PTSD from our run up there lol

I know dude! That was nuts! Stupid tree killers blocked all the outages. At least we now know to follow the power line trails to get out, lol!

Yep. What do you think? This is your back yard.

I've never taken Concow to Philbrook Res. Usually took Skyway. Which is better?

I like it. I haven’t been up there this year yet.

I always take the Highway 32 route. I have went in from Highway 70, but that’s a long day.

The tentative plan is to meet up at the Costco parking lot in Chico 9am. We'll head up to Philbrook Res. Then wing it from there.

I use to live at an apartment off Springfield. Been to that 7/11 tons of times.

Sierra nevada at 12 for a beer run would be a good trip as well
