... Just got back from Utah and already thinking of doing another trip or working from there.

I really like Utah. I recently did a mostly road trip to visit friends in Phoenix, but came back via South Rim Grand Canyon and Zion. My last Utah wheeling trip was great, but I wasn't able to explore in the Canyonlands because my brother brought his dog (no pets allowed). Makes me want to go again soon.

Honestly, quite jealous of what Utah has. So much outdoor things to do. Also I'm a bit mad since I just had car problems, one after another while getting to Moab. I wanted to hit Poison Spider Trail, Hells Revenge, and Fins and Things, but my UCA nut sheered the threads off while going down i-5 towards Vegas and had this nasty pop/clunk sound. Luckily, I was only 30min away from Bakersfield, and a dealer had a nut so I picked that up and put it behind the existing nut. Then Power Steering pump blew and started leaking right after getting to Zion... Then while doing some light trails, both CV boots ripped, so I had used duct tape to cover the CV's for the remainder of the trip. :shrug:

Least I made it home without needing to call a tow truck or being stranded on the side of the road. :rofl:

I was wondering the same thing. I fished the Yuba river last week and saw the “Marysville OHV Area”… looked like a cool place to explore and mess around. Went up Hwy4 yesterday and stopped by sourgrass, only saw one jeep airing up after running the trail. With minimal snow this year many areas may soon be good to go.

Wheeling season is starting, I think there is still a lot of mud from the snow melt.

Few trips I have in mind over next few months, Sourgrass, Signal Peak, Blue/Lost Lakes, Corral Hallow, Strawberry Pass (down hill)

It would be helpful to know who's still checking the boards, most people I go with now I text, but always happy to meet new peeps.

I am down for all of these as long as the wife doesn’t have anything planned on the days your planning the trips.
Just day trips or over night?

Nice, that's by the Gold Lake area? It will be interesting to see how busy memorial day gets.

Just got back from Sierra Buttes. Went from Sierra City and tried to punch through to Deer Lake and Gold Lake. Unfortunately had to turned back due to snow embankments covering shelf road just north of the fire lookout. It happened between fire lookout and Packer Lake Road area. There were some downed trees, luckily not too big so I was able to remove them. I think snow might not be gone by Memorial Day weekend for this path.
 
Snow snow snow.
I was the only one there on Thursday snake lake gold lake.
Made my way to the camp sites by the lake and then camped up the trail as far as we dared to go.
If we would have been patient and slowly made a path through all the snow I am sure we would have made it but after a few beers patients goes out the window so we just parked it and watched everyone turn around like we did lol
