Slick Rock Trail 8/1 - 8/2

got my tires on, gunna do sum trimming tomorrow, need to get sum plate to start the front skid, so far its lookin like ill be goin

 

Probably the same spot if there's room. Hope to see you out there!

 

Sweet!

I don't remember a tree in the way.. maybe someone took care of it.

I'm down to meet up in Pleasanton. We can narrow down the time as we get closer to Friday.

 

Idk that tree wasn't too bad to get around in hindsight.

 

Was there a way to move it or chainsaw it? Its always nice to do some trail maintenance and give back to the 4wd community if possible.

 

It sure looked scary Friday night In the dark. Saturday we drove up the wall and around no problem. Then agian on Sunday.

 

Indeed, but compared to the trail...

 

Got sum 1/4" plate today and got the front belly ifs part cut out, be finished with that tommorow, then I'll make a tranny skid to connect the ifs and transfer together, than let sum rock bashing begin

 

So jealous of everyone going

 

I bent two out of the 3 skids under my belly at slickrock last time.

 

Are yours 3/16? My transfer case one is but the front two will be 1/4
This is as far as I got today nedd to weld the front piece on then ifs will be covered, the standoffs are 1"cold roll, spun em on the lath so I could slide a bolt thru

 

My new skids are 1/4 except my ifs.

 

Ok so where u guys camping? Friday? I'll be going ifs skid done, now doing ifs to transfer case skid, pretty excited about this

 

We will camp about a mile into the trail on friday. Do you know what time your heading up? if you havnt been there you may want to wait for us if your going in the dark.

 

I'm only like 2 hours away and I'm my two weeks off so I was gunna roll out there before dark cause I ain't got rock lights like sum of u cool guys

 

Rock lights are cool but if you're coming in from the north you don't need them to get to the spot. Definitely don't need them coming from the south to the lower camping area.

 

Yeah last time I made it fine without any rock lights. Nbd

 

Here are directions to the camp it's about a mile into the trail. If you hit the granite wall your 50 yards past the camp. Take highway 4 just a few miles past bear valley to alpine lake. Air down at the trail head and Chris and I should be there around 10:30. Save us a spot by the creek. There is a photo in the first post of this thread of camp.

Northern Access - Slick Rock Road is generally run from the North to the South beginning to the West of Alpine Lake and ending near Utica Reservoir. The trail is accessed near a campground one quarter mile West of the Alpine Lake market.

Trailhead - The trail officially begins a short distance from Alpine Lake and (0.8 miles) beyond Highway 4. During this section of the trail you will come across "No Trespassing" / "Private Property" signs, continue on the road as the signs reference the surrounding property and not the road itself.

Silver Creek - Along the beginning of the trail you will see Silver Creek to the East and follow it to a clearing that is perfect to setup camp. The water sheets across the granite and into pools along the river.

Sloped Granite Wall - Use caution in this area as it is lightly off camber. The granite wall makes for a great photo and a little challenge. Also at this point you are almost half way through the trail.

 

Right on cool yea I'll save sum space
