Found a 4 mile long sand road that runs parallel to the Pacific, between the south end / switchbacks at the South Jetty and the mouth of the Eel River. Some fun muddy spots and a lot of loose sand!
Tons of driftwood on this section of beach for some reason.
Cannibal Island Road was flooded...

Took my 4r to the sand for the first time. Did pretty well, didn't get a chance to play around much but made it to the water, snapped a pic and turned back. Thought I was going to get stuck every second I was on the sand lol.

I did. But the tide was low and the waves were calm and cool. Also, once I proved to myself that I could make it I turned around and GTF out of there. 😂

Hey Humboldt Folks -
I graduated 2001 and married an Arcata local. The in laws still live up there and we visit a few times a year.
Some of the greatest camping in all of Cali up there, we miss it a lot, being able to go to an epic site for just a weekend trip.
Considering ya'll live near the Shasta Trinity / Six Rivers / Klamath National Forests there are tons of roads and spurs to explore.
There are some great roads off the 3, 36 and 96. Just watch out for private roads, grow ops and shady locals up there. They are very protective of their income.
Trinity Alps, Marbles and Black Lassic all have great fire road access that lead to some solid off roading.
Keep the pictures coming so the wife, kids and I can motivate to get up there this summer. Excellent thread.

Thanks man. Yeah, when I have more than a few hours to kill I migrate east on 36. You can run gravel and dirt all the way from 36 south to past Clear Lake!

Went looking for some abandoned tunnels today. Wasn't terribly successful - I found where they were but it was too wet / muddy to get into them.
There is a old RR tunnel running in the rock behind me, left to right; the hole visible in the rock is a debris dumping port from when it was constructed in 1914. You cannot see either portal from this vantage point. This is Bryan's Bluff in Holmes / Holmes Flat, along the Eel River.
Another seasonal bridge, out for the season, near Holmes Flat. Crosses the Eel River between Holmes Flat and Larabee. The go around is 26 miles. In the winter they open up the go around which is a logging road because this bridge is out; in the summer the logging road gets gated shut and you use the bridge. There's no other way into Larabee.

Mendocino here, we get up to Humboldt a couple times a year, mainly go birding. First trip I took with the 4R was up the Usal Road all the way through to Four Corners, in late spring right after they opened the gates. Great shakeout trip, straddling the gully... too bad I didn't stop for pics. Took the Mattole Road out and up. Then went out to the North Spit and got stuck in that damn dry sand! Aired down, dug out and drove off.
Anyway, nice to see other North Coasters here. Maybe catch you up on Bear River Ridge sometime, love to get up there during hawk migration.

I recently took an 11 day, 5900 mile cross country trip. Not really California Lost Coast related, but, hell... it's my thread!
