We hiked down from Windy Point to the abandoned Punta Gorda Lighthouse yesterday. Super cool 4wd road getting in, and a cool hike. Saw a bunch of elephant seals, deer, and a black bear.

Take Mattole Rd to Lighthouse Rd in Petrolia. Take Lighthouse to the end, and then go up the hill on Prosper Ridge Rd. Take that to Windy Pt BLM 4WD Rd, which drops you down towards the ocean on some rough two track. Then park on the prairie and walk down the two track to the beach. The lighthouse is half a mile south.

Not expecting any takers since this thread is pretty sloooooooooooowwwww but Wed Jan 6 a group of us are going to do some dirt roads up up up until we're snowed in on South Fork Mountain. It'll be an all day thing. Lunch on the trail, probably some pew pew action in the Nat Forest, guaranteed mud and maybe some extrication needed. Several will have winches and traction boards and other recovery stuff so stock trucks are just fine.

Leaving Eureka at 9am. Comms on 2m.

Feel free to post or message me if you want to come.

Edit on the above, will actually be mostly in the Hupa Reservation, running some abandoned forest roads. Should see snow at the top. Map of area:

Heading out with a group again Tuesday 1-26 for trails on the east side of 96, if anyone wants to come along...

Well, my 5 years in Calif is drawing to a close, and we are moving back to Ohio. I'm unsub-ing from the thread, maybe it'll cling to life as new people filter in (doubtful). The forum is kind of dead anyway so I'm actually not going to check in anymore. I can always be found under the same user name on the other 4R forum, or by PM which will go to my email. Take care! -Mark

WTF?
Sorry to hear you’re leaving CA, and the forum. I enjoyed your posts and photos.
But you gotta go where the job, family, and your interests make the most sense.
Good luck with your new adventures.
