Nor Cal Wheeling, Camping and BS - 2018

Hey all -
I am trying to pull together a day trip wheeling, off HWY 50/South of Kyburz (Silverfork Rd. area) for Sunday Sept. 2nd.

The rough plan is to take Silverfork Rd. to No. Shanty 4WD Trail to Upper Long Canyon Rd. to West Cody 4x4 to Spur Bee 4WD Trail (out n back), then head back to HWY50 via Mule Canyon to Silverfork Rd.

Right now, I am thinking of a meet up in Folsom, CA about 9AM so we can hit the trails by 11AM and be back to HWY50 by late afternoon.

So, who in?

Count me in!
 
I'll already be there the weekend.

Damn man.....

I'll already be up there that weekend. No way on the Saturday? We will be heading back Sunday. We'll just miss each other again.... :shrug:
 
No can do. But it's always appreciated. As a side note, 9/2 is the one year anniversary to the day of Signal Peak. Year went fast.

I can't make it, but thanks for invite. You might want to make extra time to check out tree carvings in Long Canyon. I haven't been there, but have heard there are some interesting ones.

I'm in.

As far as Folsom meet, there is a Starbucks right by the In-and-Out by the 50.
 
Any details on trail difficulty?

I haven't been down these trails yet, but I have some info ... National Forest Service says both North Shanty and Spur Bee 4WD Trails are "Developed (Trail Class 3)" trails. See attached for their detailed definitions.

FWIW ... I did Long Canyon 4WD Trail (same general area with same rating) w/ some other forum members earlier this summer and it was a really fun trail. I would say a lift (2" or 3") and AT or MT tires were helpful... but I bet a stock height 4x4 w/ ATs or MTs and stock skids would have been fine. The one spot that was kinda technical had an alternate route.

I am anticipating something similar for No. Shanty & Spur Bee given the same FS rating and being geographically close by.

As for Upper Long Canyon & West Cody... those are FS roads, so they shouldn't be any issue this time of year.

Meet up and come check it out with us.

Figured I'd post this up here. I began the whole headliner patch phase of my 'build' and after getting some humorous, silly and Toyota ones I stumbled upon the idea of cataloging the trails I do. And since I've only done 2 named trails so far (I know, I'm working on getting that number more respectable) I can start from the beginning.

Here they are, taken from my iPhone at the top of each trail:

Place I went thru is called Mutiny Shop so google it if interested. Customizable by image, size, style etc. thought maybe some folks on here would be into that.
 
Yeap ... that's the rally point I was thinking of... there's a Chevron for gas & what not and a Starbucks for the caffeine fix and its super close to the freeway.

There is also a Starbucks off of Latrobe.

Got to head to the bay but hopefully I’ll be back in time to meet up with you guys.

That was quite the view into those gorges at the top! I'm still getting the dust out of my 4Runner though, sucks to be the one in the back of the line lol!

Personally I need to get to the hills for more than a day trip.
If I went with you, probably would do a detour and fish down by Silverfork.

Any incentive package deal with this?

Well, my rugged good looks and charming personality come standard with every adventure ... :lmao:

If you'll be up in the area for the weekend, you could just meet us at the trail head and run the trails for the day, then head back to camping. :shrug:
 
Rubicon Day Trip?? - Interest?

Throwing this out to see what the interest would be like.

Monday, October 15, 2018, a day run into the Rubicon from Loon Lake. Go into little Sluice or Buck Island and come back out.

My main things are;
1) Week day to minimize traffic & congestion (especially since we'd all be IFS rigs).
2) Having a capable rig / parts / tools for what may be thrown at us on the trail.
3) Keeping the list to 5-6 vehicles max.

Some may think I am coming off like an ass (but I am used to that), the reasoning for the criteria is to make sure everyone had a good time, keep up a good pace and not spending time dealing with issues because someone thought their WRX was a good choice.

Any thoughts?
