Hi SF Bay Peeps,

The Club that ran the 4x4 Clinic I wrote about in another post, is having a Noob Run this coming at the Hollister OHV park. They are meeting at 9:30A at the big tree by the bathrooms/camping area above the Old Obstacle Course (the one with the Stair Steps and Frame Twister). I will be there, LMK if you and any of your friends want to join. Its a good, safe way to get some hands-on experience by following experienced guides.

There is limited cell phone reception there otherwise I would give you my number but following is some additional information if you want to go:

  • Pay the $5 at the Ranger Station and get the code to the chained fence before going to the 4x4 ranch
  • Have to have a 4x4 capable of 4Lo
  • Anyone and everyone can come (noob to experienced)
  • A CB or FRS capable walkie talkie is helpful to hear each other as we are driving
  • Bring lunch and drinks
  • We will likely air down so bring a tire guage (you can air back up at the Ranger Station)
  • Make sure you are fueled up. There is no gas station at the park
  • Plan to arrive before 9:30A to air down and meet some new friends and the trail leads

Cool dude. Thanks for organizing this. Don't know if I can make it this time around but still appreciate the effort to get some rigs together!!
 
how beginner is this? i have done quite a bit at hollister already but always nice to learn more.

Do we know how many people attending?

I would say this is beginner to intermediate. It's meant to be a follow-up from the 4x4 safety clinic that they do twice a year. In the clinic we were doing blue trails by end of day. If you're a beginner or don't have anyone to wheel with, I would definitely recommend joining this trip. If there is something you don't feel comfortable doing they don't push you. If you are experienced, you may get bored following the pack; but you can start off with the group, meet some new friends and then go off on your own later that day. The club hosts other day trips for the more experienced on other days. For example they are going to do a Bear Valley run next week for Oktoberfest.

PS - I am not running this, just a participant. I am not even a club member yet. I just thought that this would be a good way to get some of us local 4Runner guys/gals together. The club that runs it is non-exclusive (vehicles and experience levels).

There is no fee that I know of. I registered on their FB Page. If you request to join then you will get a response within 24 hours. Just comment on the post called " Newbie Run at Hollister Hills SVRA " by Magnus Akerblom on Sep 24 if you are coming along. If you don't have FB I will let them know on Friday how many people are coming from this Forum. Just be sure to pay the $5 fee to access the park at the Ranger Station before meeting at the big tree at the old obstacle course before 9:30A.

Since you are in SC PM me if you want to meet at Starbucks first and then caravan down together. Otherwise I will see you there.

Oh man this is tempting! Maybe I can convince the wife to do her own thing that day.

Bring her with you. I don't know about this run, but at the safety clinic there were plenty of wives that came along. They even drove part of the time.
 
Sound like fun. I was there with a friend last weekend and did some blue trails but would like to have more knowledge for harder trails. COUNT ME IN
 
Hey guys, hope you had a great run. The original offer wasn't accepted, looked at another 1st gen but the sale was a bit sketchy, not confident the guy actually owned the truck, so I took a pass.

I'm currently looking at a couple more so hope to see you all at some point in the future.

Cheers!
