Nov. 24, Saturday, Palomar Divide Truck Trail

2WD friendly trail...

On Sunday, December 23, a few trucks will be getting together to run this 2WD friendly and picturesque trail to help unwind before the Christmas festivities.
We will meet will at the Temecula Chevron on Hwy 79 to top off on fuel at 10am.

It is a very mellow trail, kid and dog friendly and airing down isn't a necessity, but it will smooth out the ride.

10am
Sunday, Dec 23
Chevron
31669 Temecula Pkwy, Temecula, CA 92592

PLEASE CONFIRM if you will be there so we don't leave anyone behind.

Information on the trail from TraillsOffRoad.com

Rated: 2-2 ( easy )
9S07 - Palomar Divide is located off Highway 79 in San Diego County, in the Cleveland National Forest near the Riverside County border. The views along this 13 mile trail are spectacular and are ideal for the new 4x4 wheeler to use for a picnic drive or for overnight camping. The waypoints will direct you to a wildlife guzzler, two semi-active gemstone mines, hiking trails, Sourdough Springs, and the Highpoint Lookout. is just a short distance beyond the permanently locked gate at trails end, but visitor access is only via Highway 76 to the south.

@AdventureKid

 

I’m committed to a side job on the 23rd. Can’t make this one, thanks for the invite though!

 

I'll be in Tahoe but definitely thanks for the invite and look forward to seeing everyone on a trail soon...

 

Fixed

 

I may be in on this...

 

I can't make this. Will be in Alabama Hills for the Geminid meteor shower.

 

@OR4x4 requested, so he and I will be there.

 

Hopefully I can get the truck all dialed in before then... making a few purchases before then...

 

FYI the Palomar Divide trail is usually closed from ~late October to ~mid May for the rainy season.

The NFS website isn’t always accurate either, so it can be a mystery until you get there.

 

Cleghorn

 

Big bear

 

Just getting to this thread now. As far as I know, I will still be able to attend. If the trail is closed during the rainy season in SD , do we want to have a contingency plan?

 

I say if you are going to do cleghorn you should also hit pilot rock as well.
