    Well, camping this weekend is a bust. For anyone who it might concern, that big ass campsite along the South Fork Stanislaus River, where MJ organized that TW trip back in July 2017 is now inaccessible. Looks like FS felled trees and piled brush to block any ohv access. :(

    Yep, had my gaia route from last time too so I knew exactly where it was supposed to be. No go.

    Appreciate the offer, but we threw in the towel and made the three hour drive back home.

    Damn, with that much driving one-way, I would have tried to find another spot up there somewhere.... that’s nuts! Sorry to hear though. Nothing worse then thinking you are about to ball out at a cool spot and it’s blocked.

    If it was just me that's what I would have done, but fiancee wasn't having it.

    Ahhh yeah, been there before too. Not being able to camp, then having an upset lady as the cherry on top is the worst feeling.

    Next time have a backup spot :spy:

    Let me k ow if you come back to the area. I’ll send you down some dirt roads.

    Although looking at all the photo @Uphillshunter has taken this year... he might be a better source.

    I'm not by any means the authority. But if it involves 108 (especially between Long Barn and Pinecrest) I definately have suggestions. :thumbsup:

    Headed up tomorrow. Not 100% sure where we're going to spend the night tomorrow (but that's part of the excitement lol)

    I'm thinking a spot near a place called Coffin Hollow... sounds fun :thumbsup:

    Now if only I could get the lady on board with that idea. She's not even game yet for off-road dispersed primitive camping. :pout:

    That's pretty much what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm going to check out a specific area at Lake Sterling, but there's no guarantee there will be an available spot to camp. Gotta have a plan b and c.

    Thank you for sharing and the garbage detail. I dont do open sights very well, I need a scope. Used to spotlight jackrabbits in Nevada around our farm back in the late 60's. So many dead ones, we had vultures hanging around.
