Jen Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm in and I'll be bringing my littlest munchkin. This time, he PROMISES to take his Dramamine so we don't have to stop on the side of the road every 5 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlores Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm in! How far are we talking so I can give the Mrs an idea how long I will be gone and when I will return? I live in Sac. What time are people thinking of leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 The two Josh, Jen and Sas + family are in. Awesome. Anyone else? Carlos are you still interested given the dates? Would be awesome. As far as time commitment, plan on leaving Friday morning (being a holiday - let's leave early), meet @ the Wailaki campground, get there early enough so we can do some recce trips, and have a nice camp fire/dinner Friday night. Saturday will be mostly drive time to get up further north of Shelter Cove and exloring trails along the way, let's try to make it to Light House road where the Lost Coast Vineyard, and Gold Coast Coffee Roastery near the ocean. Also we need to decide on campground up in that area for Sat night camping. Sunday breakfast and then headback home by lunch time. Plan on being back early eve Sunday.

I would love to make a pit stop at Glass Beach on the way home. I believe there was a Denny's right near the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a LWB no sliders trip or a SWB full protection trip? LWB=No Problem. Sliders? If there's lots of rain between now and then...i would remove them, otherwise fine.

sasquatch Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 http://nclrclub.org/forum/content.php?7946-Trip-Dates We'll more than likely meet everyone up there. It's a 5hr drive from the Bay Area so we'll leave around 5 or 6am on Friday morning and skip the caravan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco97 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 So, i think My Brother may be riding shotgun with me. He has been bugging me to go on a trip for years. He's in the Navy and between him being deployed or me not going on many trips our schedules just don't jive. SO, if he can get Friday off, we are both in. Anyone know what the best maps are to get for the area and where to get them? I've never been up there and want to check it out a bit before we go. And...If there is a convoy, when and where is going to take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlores Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 What freeway do you take up and what town is it close to so that I have a better idea for time and distance. Is it usually muddy, rocky, fire roads what is the terrain do we need anything extra ie fuel, water fire wood, is the camping primative or a actual camp ground?

sasquatch Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 The trail is just a fire road. Nothing technical. If it's raining or wet, the clay soil turns pretty greasy. Similar to a mud day at Hollister. An AT tire should be fine. By time we hit a trail, the entire group will be together so you don't have to worry about getting into a situation without help. Last year was dry so there no need to even drop it into 4wd. Camping is semi-primitive. Vault toilets and potable water. Paved parking with dirt camping areas. Pretty posh IMO.

CNelson Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Please dumb this down for me...where are we starting? I'm in Vacaville, and haven't a clue what/where you guys were talking about. Anyone else from around these parts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Crystal, Go to Google Maps and input Vacaville, Ca. and Garberville, Ca. It will recommend Hwy20 to 101 for you. I don't know hwy20 at all, but I imagine it's pretty curvy and slow compared to the alternate route. I would recommend 80 to 37 to 101 for you. It's your call. The google map will at least give you an idea of where we intend to go. This is pretty far up the Northern California Coast along hwy101. Most Bay Area peeps will caravan. Keep watching this thread and more info will unfold. The real "Trip" doesn't start until we hit camp at Wailaki Campground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco97 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 So, What are the chances I could make the trip in my Subaru Forester? I was just thinking it might be nice to double my gas mileage and beat up the Subie a bit. If it's even questionable, I will just bring the Rover.
