lutz Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 UPDATE:I ran the trails a week ago to see the time it would take. Las Chiches trail:Is the longest due to some over the road travel with a time of 2 and half hours round trip. Pine Mountain Road:This trail starts on the way back from Las Chiches trail . Never been able to do this trail in full due to my rover doesn't look like she will make up it with out a winch and if you mess up your falling down a cliff..Some pics of a jeep doing it http://s246.photobucket.com/albums/gg119/BruceHotAirRubi/?albumview=slideshow Garcia ridge:This one is a fast trail with it only half mile from camp bout 40min if no spotting is needed.Will need to limit how many truck are on the trail at one time due to there are few trun outs and dead ends. Hey guys just gauging interest on a NCLR surf n turf trip to Pismo.Instead of camping on the beach we would camp at Hi mountain camp.Which is about 30 min from Pismo right above lake Lopez.There are few good trails up at hi mountain and the surrounding areas.Friday and Saturday morning would be trail runs then if we have time Saturday evening we would go down to the dunes or just do a day on the dunes Sunday.http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/lospadres/recreation/ohv/slrd/ Camp ground:Hi Mountain Campground:Location: Pozo/La Panza AreaDescription: Nestled in large grove of oaks.

LandRonB Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I am interested! Gas prices are down and I am sure we can try and squeeze two trips in Feb ("Pismo Surf N Turf" and "Return to Shaver Lake Snow Trip" or we can make Shaver Lake an early March trip to spread the days.

Disco2Guy Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Early March for Shaver Lake would be nice. I hope to have the front (and maybe rear bumper) by then. X2 on the gas prices.
