2021 NorCal Wheeling, Camping, and Fuckery Thread

thanks BTW!!!!!

 

Jesus.

 

Haven’t swam there since it was a lake, right now it’s a pond but I’ve never dealt with leaches there swimming previously

 

What brand is your front bumper?

 

@At The Helm but mine is slightly bent due to a fender bender.

 

Made it down HWY 1 to end up in Big Sur. Camped overnight and got some pretty good views. It was 56° at sea level and jumped to 95° above the marine layer. Happy we got shade haha.

 

How were the flys?

 

IYKYK… haha. I don’t even want to talk about the flies, mosquitos, and wasps.

 

How was the wind? busy?

 

I guess they've decided to extend the national forest closures.

 

Was this on Nac ferg road? I thought it was still closed

 

@Taco Senpai I think this was a question intended for you.

 

Not much wind at all. A little at night but not too bad. I’d say it wasn’t that busy compared to usual but that road is always busy because it’s so popular. We were lucky to get my favorite spot!

 

Nac Ferg Road leads to this spot but yes you’re correct that it’s still closed. Ranger said they got about 15” of rain in Jan which washed out most of the road. You can still access the campsite from HWY 1.

 

What’s the camping area called?

 

Interesting. Last I was there, there was no road access up into the hills east of hwy 1 other than private roads.

 

Awesome, thanks. Looks great.

 

about Folsom lake, you guys should know that it’s illegal to do off road activities there. No rock crawling or blasting around on sand and doing donuts. I know most people don’t care and still blast around there. But don’t get caught.

park ranger will come out once and give out tickets. Had one come talk to me last year about our pups. Just a friendly guy. But he saw my truck and told me to be carful cause he will cite anyone off roading in “his” park.

 

If anyone wants to off road and have fun, I suggest Latrobe road. I go there often and it’s free, no traffic most of the time and has some challenging sections.


its near Sacramento and nice to scratch that off road itch without going too far

 

I remember some mention of people getting cited last year for driving "off road" at folsom lake
