DHappel Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 As 2016 nears it's end, it's time to start thinking about 2017 and I'm looking for input from you, the members, about what sort of trips and events you'd like to see. Consider some of the outings we've done this year: One-day trips ranging from easy to challenging on trails from Corral Hollow to Signal Peak to Slick Rock and Dear Valley Multi-day challenging trips to the Rubicon Longer overlanding trips like the Sierra run, Baja, and Mojave Road Weekend camping trips to Mendocino NF, Bowman Lake, and WRL Day outings w/o trail time like the corn maze and Blackhawk car show Joint weekend runs with SoCal to Coyote Flat and Pismo Snow runs, both as day trips and weekend trips And of course our Floating MORGS to Hollister, Frank Rains, MET, Corral Hollow, and Folsom Lake, not to mention both Sacramento area and Peninsula monthly Drip in the Dirt/Driveway gatherings. There's more of course, but that should get you in the right frame of mind. What I'm wondering is what sort of events would you like to see in 2017? We already have 2 Death Valley trips being planned, and we'll be setting a date for our traditional Shaver Lake/Bald Mountain snow run around soon (traditionally around early February). But what grabs your attention? Would you like to see more hard-core runs like the Rubicon, Fordyce, or Dusy Ersham? Maybe you prefer weekend moderate runs like camping and wheeling Slick Rock? Or do you prefer to just get out and set up camp with your friends for a relaxing weekend and not worry so much about the challenges of the trail? We have lots of great opportunities here in NorCal, the challenge is simply making it happen. So what would you like to see the club doing in 2017?

Don, I'd like to see someone do Fordyce end-to-end in an LR3 .... I don't think that has been done yet .... Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Winding Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Corral hollow has always been one of favorite trails so I'd like to see that on the Agenda again. Maybe a corral hollow/slick rock weekend? I'd like to see Moab also, the lost coast, maybe big Sur, Plumas BCDT, a Rubicon camping trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Loving the ideas...I've been interested in Poker Flats and the gold lakes area. Seems like some good trails and fishing. Anyone ever run Barret lake trail? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I haven't been to Barret Lake, but there are a lot of trails in the Gold Lakes area from mild to wild. I expect we'll be up there in '17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
