Easy enough right?

Here is the whole run. The red is where the 'dirt' starts or close to it. After we reach Generals Highway we can drive back down on pavement OR we can take the trail back down BUT I heard this is a 1 way trail so idk if the more experienced drivers out there will say anything...last time the didnt, we just had to squeeze by them.

Either way, we will have to air down so bring a little compressor if possible to air back up when we get back to pavement.

This is the end area and the play area. If you go west from here it turns into the 180 and will take you to Fresno if you would want to go straight home....and not join us for a burger after we get back into Visalia

Just copy and paste the list with your name added.
1. THExBUSxDRIVER - Drinks & Granola bars
2. ilovetacos - Tacos

 

2wd/prerunner friendly?

 

A friend of mine said its doable with 2wd. I've never been so I couldn't confirm but there will be some 4x4's out there, I wouldn't worry.

 

ya i tried to look at the pics on the website but it wont let me

 

Yea you have to be a member, it says its free but then asks for a credit or debit card, screw that.

But another member here has been there, he said he's gonna put some pics up.

 

1. THExBUSxDRIVER - Drinks & Granola bars
2. ilovetacos - Tacos

 

The trails I went on are all 2wd friendly but I am not sure if these trails will even be open with all of the snow on the ground. I'll ask my father in law to see what he thinks. He knows the area pretty well.

The pics are on my other computer so I'll need to dig them up in a bit.

 

Here's a video about Buck Rock

Hopefully the snow isn't too bad

 

so, so far it's two people? come on Fresno crowd, if I didn't live 6 hours away I would definitely go, as of right now I'm a maybe

 

Yea I expected more but there is still time, they probably don't get on as much.

So clean those eggs off of your truck and get up here!

 

Bump

 

Lol, yeah, I've cleaned them off right away, can't believe it keeps happening. I thought the first time was pretty bad and now it's the third time! When are they going to stop!?
I will try my best to make it for the trail run though.

 

*UPDATE*

DUE TO THE LARGE/CRAZY AMOUNTS OF SNOW, THIS TRAIL WILL BE CLOSED AND/OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR MOST OF OUR TRUCKS. THE DATE WILL NOW BE MOVED TO SOME WEEKEND IN MARCH. IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS WELCOME.

BUMP

March seems like a good month that's when everything starts to bloom and the panoramic view gets even better. It'd make it for the meet but just an FYI that if the date lands on the 19th of march then count me out b/c I'll be heading to Norcal Taco meet. My suggestion is that if we can't make a trail run might as well make it a meet n greet somewhere in Fresno then do a caravan to the Norcal event.

 

Sounds good man. I decided to move the date because this snow would best us. I'm trying to get more central cal folks but it seems they disappeared

 

Yeah everyone does disappear I agree. But like I said if the plan doesn't fall through just do like what I've suggested. I know it wouldn't be a central cal event but atleast we'll be able to meet and other members on the forum as well.

 

I would be down for that, I can't tell right now if I'll be able to make it, because I don't know what my schedule will be like so far out. I would really like to go though.
