Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Kings canyon/sequoia national park is awesome, well more so the national forest, tons of hiking trails that allow dogs, tons of easy forest service roads with awesome views. I don't remember too many lakes though. You can also camp in the NF or in one of the main or less developed campgrounds.

Another area that has tons of lakes is the blue lakes area, decent amount of forest roads and some awesome hiking. You can either camp at blue lakes or in the NF.

 

Hey guys I won the voing contest! I wanted to say thanks because they were pobably all NorCal votes lol. Thanks again. New suspension is on the horizon

 

I'll be looking for my cut soon

Seriously tho, congrats man!

 

Yeah, I think you had a lot of silent voters.

 

+1 to you sir!

One of my favorite backpacking areas! Swam in Powell Lake on the way out to rinse off the grime from a few days worth of backpacking. Long lake is one of my favorite spots to camp. If you have never been to Cooper Meadow, you should. Its only 3.5 miles from the Coyote Meadow trailhead. It's right under the rock formations pictured in the distance. Last time I was there a cattle operation was going on. Guy shared some beer and whiskey with me and I got to check out the historic cabin there. Nothing like a surprise ice cold beer after a few days in the woods!

 

There are lots of "primitive" campsites which I interpret to be what you're looking for.

You'll need to get a campfire permit if you don't have one already (even if you only want to use a stove) - and the easiest way to know whether campfires are currently permitted at bowman lake is just to call the ranger station and ask directly.

 

Nice! congrats man!

 

Haven't met ya but I figured 120k on OME means you are driving the truck like it was intended for. That alone made me vote for ya. Goodluck with the quest for an update to your suspension.

 

thanks guys!

Good job MJ. Use that gc for a sac kit....linked front for the win!!

 

HAH yea rite! I'll need more than a $250 gift card to help me with that

 

Thanks for the input! My parents were telling me about Kings Canyon, they always go up there to go fishing. I'm definitely going to check it out soon!!

 

Yeah but it will get the ball rolling. I mean, it totally makes sense right? Lol

 

He could go with Chevy springs to start...

 

Thank you so much! This is where we will be going, I'm very excited!

Yep there you go!

 

Hey fellas. Got a pair of Light Racing UCA for sale. 20,000 miles on them and fits 05+ Tacoma. $150 OBO. PM me for details.

 

Why can't they ever be 1st gen? All the UCA deals are for 2nd gens.

 

You can just buy them and save them for when you get a 2nd gen...
