NORCAL: Slick Rock and Corral Hollow wheeling trip 6/9/12

lol i dont even have any skids, the one i have is about to fall off any minute.

 

SCSPerformance, you will not have to take the line the FJZ80 is taking in the picture but you will have to get to this point before cutting hard left, which is the easier route.

 

i think for the most part, i should be OK. i'll just take it slow and steady. i don't mind following your turtle pace, lol. can't wait. thanks for providing the pics.

 

I would probably go through Stockton and hit up HWY 4 from there, as oppose to going through Sac via HYW 80/50

 

I see Philly is coming along as well, nice. He has a bad ass SAS 4R on 37" tires.

 

yeah you're right. i didn't even bother looking at the address beforehand. i thought it was somewhere near tahoe. it's 580, 205, 5, 120, 108, ....

east bay guys can meet off of Marina exit in San Leandro in the parking lot of Marina Square. in front of nordstorm rack, there's a big parking area. just a suggestion.

 

pretty much! Work and other crap always seems to get in the way though.
Really need to get out to a few trips!

 

oh tite! yeah he can show us all up lol

I was looking at the link you posted, it says we can camp near the trailhead, in the Silver Creek area? Is that cool? Or would you recommend somewhere else?

Yea when all the Saturday morning guys decide on a time and place I'll update the OP

 

Yeah its actually really nice but to get there, you will prob have to wheel in the dark to get to it. Nothing crazy but at night it is a different ball game.



The area is huge. Can easily fit us all. Me, my wife, my dog and brother may camp friday night there. The other issue is how the morning guys will find us as it seems those guys have never been on this trail. Could always shoot for a meet up at the bear valley gas station at like 8 am with one of us to lead the group to camp. Its the only gas station before hitting the trail, can't miss it on the left. It is roughly like 5 miles before the turn off towards the trailhead.

 

I'm probably gonna take Friday off and get there early to save the space, just in case.

pic looks awesome!

 

i can finally sleep in my truck this time i can't wait lol always had people with me on trips and the truck is always packed tight.

 

Yeah that is one of the smaller areas, there is a lot of room for camping. With it being a non-holiday weekend I don't think we'll see much traffic. I only ran across two rigs the whole day but it never hurts to get there early to hold down the fort.

 

I think I found the gas station

good suggestion on meeting the morning crew here. I also put communication info in the OP because I wasn't sure how the cell reception is out there

 

yup and no cell coverage.

 

hey MJ when on friday are we leaving? are we rolling together or just meeting at the trailhead?

 

We can roll together. Doesn't matter to me, I can take the day off, or work half day. Whatever you guys are down for. I'll wait on Jerry to chime in, even tho he's probably only thinking about MOAB right now lol

Maybe we can meet near the 580/680 area and head East from there? Or maybe just meet in the Stockton area?

 

Hey MJ I prob won't be running corral hollow with you guys, might try out pine needle flat trail instead.

 

Hey MJ, put me down as a maybe camping Friday night.

 

what's this pine needle flat trail you speak of?

you got it bud
