    Little bit of both. Always open to more people. We had to split the group though to keep trail speeds descent with a big amount of people.

    Lightning-caused fires near lake Pillsbury, 2 totalling 250ac. Not sure if this is causing access issues to the California Backcountry Discovery Route/ FSR M1, but anyone planning a trip to this area should be aware of this.

    This really isn't norCal except that my journey started and ended in norCal... my wife and I recently completed a 9250 mile, 21 day trip to Alaska and back.

    Really lengthy trip report is here. Be forewarned, I am an uncouth sumbitch.

    Hey guys headed to Galt, Ca for a few weeks. We will probably be working 6 days a week. In the chance that I get a Saturday, or someone wants to grab some grub a evening let me know. I am interested in the area, i have only explored Reno, Black Rock, and Lassen.

    Thanks @IdkJosh for some suggestions on the area.
