Hungry Valley 9/11/10

EDIT: WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE ENTRANCE TO ROWHER FLATS OHV (NOT HUNGRY VALLEY). 8am 9/11/10. we will wait a bit, then hit the trails. Pm me or db67fm (since he seems to know the area the best) if you need more details.

 

Maybe... again

 

Did you go last week?

 

No.... I was a maybe for that one

 

Spooky? Not for a 4x4.

We should set up a 4x4 only Rowher Flats meet.

 

lol - I went out there last weekend, and I got scared half way up the first hill on lookout trail and chickened out. I wasn't slipping or anything, but it was just me out there and I didnt feel like being stuck in the middle of nowhere by myself if anything happened. Truck would have made it - driver wouldn't have .

 

lol have you been to gorman/hungry valley? theres a hill called "the wall" only for bikes and dirt bikes, well i climbed that and was so shitting it made it though.

 

Which one is that Brian? H.v. has the miller jeep trail that's pretty tough I guess. I won't try it with out sliders and full skid plates.

Umm I'm a maybe for sat.

looks easy on this video - and probably really is in 4x4 locked. But i was just scared b/c I felt like i was staring straight up at the sun lol

 

are you locked?

 

A 4wd only Rowher would be cool too...been down one of the step jeep trails a couple times, would be fun to go up one.

But I feel ya on be scared of breaking on something like that! Desert you can fix things much easier, steep trail and sumtin breaks....oh boy whole world of bs. Few other trucks is a must.

 

Lookout Trail and Rowher 4x4 trails are really not too bad. The really tough one is going up Rowher 4x4 trail from Bouquet Cyn. I usually start at the main entrance to Rowher Flats, then go up either Lookout or Rowher 4x4 to the top of the mountain, then I take Rowher 4x4 down to Bouquet Cyn. Its a fun 2 - 3 hour run.

I am up for a Sat morning run if anyone wants to go.


BTW, I have been up the hill at Hungry Valley a few times. Here are some pictures from June 2009 when they allowed trucks to go up.

 

Sweet how was it?

 

yup.

do you use 4lo locked to go up all of these? seems to me like it would be hard to change anything once you start up. and yes - im down for sat morning at rowher

 

sooo are we going on sat morning or not? I'm not gonna do it by myself again, so I will make other plans if we don't have some committals by friday night.

 

I will be there. Lets meet at 8 am, at the entrance of Rowher Flats and Sierra Hwy.

Here

 

cool me too then. i will prolly bring a cooler - can you have beer out there or is that a no-no?

 

i'll bring the puff puff.
