Prewitt Ridge, 1 or 101?

Camped here over the weekend! Jolon toward Fort Hunter Liggett was closed 10 miles from the site so I had to take a 3 hour detour... Beautiful spot but I can't imagine staying longer for one night. The flies there are crazy.

 

Thinking about going again next month; I'm always prepared but I wasn't ready for all the flies!

Getting a canopy with net lol

If you want to tag along let me know.

 

That whole area is like a big open latrine, hence the flies. That sign should say shovels are mandatory.

 

Im headed up there this weekend! Real excited after reading so much about it...definitely gonna be hiking and checking out Pfeiffer Beach

 

Can anyone confirm that camp fires are not allowed?

 

I was up there in August and no campfires are allowed there.

 

subd for camping

 

Easy spot to get to; let me know if you go since I'd be happy to make the drive out there, even if I don't camp.

 

You got it man! Id love to go again some time!

 

Hey Guys,

Debating a trip up there sometime soon. Hopefully the flies wont be so bad as the weather turns cooler.

I have a few questions though regarding the area.

I'm guessing number 1 is the main campsite you guys are camping on or is it number 5?

What's located at the ends of 2-5? Curious to know, I guess I could just go there and check it out but I usually like to take trips where I see the least amount of people as possible.

 

Area #1 is the spot where I posted pictures of; it's just a nice open area with plenty of spots under the stars, or under a tree to camp in.

Flies aren't as crazy as they were back in July; a citronella candle works wonders on the picnic table.

I've gone down to #4 just to check it out, but came back up since the view wasn't as great as #1. But a lot of people head there to camp as well as #5. During the weekend though, you may run into less people at 4 and 5 because not a lot of people know about the lower campsites; I learned about those from talking to the locals that live there.

Btw, Gaia maps' topo layer works great for fire roads. If you want some screen shots, I can get you some later when I get home.

When are you heading out?

 

Here are a few spots from the ridge -







The ones I didn't take pics of were from under the trees. There are 5 different areas under the trees that provide a bit of privacy, but lack the better views.

Wind was picking up out there, so watch the dirt that gets kicked up everywhere.

 

That would be great. I have also started using Gaia.

I'm thinking hopefully sometime in October but more realistically November/December.

 

Yeah just let me know if you need someone to tag along!

 

why are there so many flies there? that shit was driving me bonkers.

 

Cow shit.

 

Because...

This.

By the way, FIFY.
