So Cal, trails and off road

That is correct. They even ask you to show them where your shifter is. He didn't believe me until I showed him my 4x4 shift knob.

 

That sucks.......but it does get muddy like hell in there. So most 2wd would end up getting stuck anyway....

 

If you went in the really muddy parts yes. I went to Big Bear and you can pretty much run through everything in 2WD and you get in some deep mud but it's on a road so easy to get out of. There are trails off the roads that I can't even try to drive on though.

 

damn, i wanna go off-roading sooooo bad. My friend knows of a couple trails in trabuco canyon. I'll probalby just end up off-roading there sometime

 

Well i'll be out in BigBear this Saturday. It's raining and snowing this WED so it should be fun!

 

Anza Borrego is supposed to be really nice. I haven't ventured out that way yet, but the TTORA guys put up a run every year. I hear the trails range from easy cruisers to SAS/body damage trails.

 

I'm always down to try new places. Any pics?

 

I don't have any pics, but http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=638 has all the info, and if you google TTORA anza borrego, there are some action shots.

 

i know its a little too late and too soon... me and my friend (with fj) is going to go meet up after lunch to climb santa ana canyon using the lincoln exit... just FYI to any one who wants to come... i'll be working tonight 7p-7a (graveyard shift), a few hours of sleep and i'll be good as new . we are going to meet up tomrw at around 1pm.

just an fyi....

dont worry i'll try to get as much pix as i can..

 

is it open? i know its closed on the silverado canyon side...that entrance is closed off..has been since the fires seared the whole area..


if its open on the lincoln side..let me know..ill be down to roll out tomorow i live down in anaheim hills not far away..email me thru here

 

i wont guarantee if its open but im >70% sure its open... if not open then we are just going to hit up the trail up in the 15fwy....

we are not going to do some hard core offroading just some hill climbing and some flexing...

 

COol..well..i dont mind driving up to check and see if its opened up..where abouts is the access point? I have never gone that way..I usually start in the Silverado side..so I would take the 91 East and get off where..? Green River? .....

Let me know again what time..and how to get out there..if you need to..PM me and I will give you my cell number to hit me up..

i think me and a buddy are going today to check it out..thats awesome its open..i was hoping it was..im sorry i didnt get a chance to go with ya last time..i got tied up doing some stuff and couldnt get away! bummer for me..

ill take some pics and post them too after today..

 

So we ended up going to a place called Tin Mine Canyon..theres a forest road entrance and the gate was open..it was off Lincoln and Foothill Pkwy..made a right on Foothill and headed to the end of the street..housing development going on..then you can see the entrance..

It was cool..a little erie..but bummed cuz there is a gate and its closed off..there is a radio tower and stuff out there..were you guys at the same place? If not give directions to the place you were at..I didnt really get any good shots out there..had my cell phone and it wasnt the best..the batteries died in my digicam..go figure..saw a blasted up car..that was cool..i might go shooting back there..didnt seem to be anyone around..hahaha..

 

Lemme see if I can throw a pic..these are the best that I ended up getting..

 

i think i know where you guys went. did you guys climb the hill in one of the cross roads? next time lets go and i can show you the part of the mountain peak with satelites, where you can see going westbound in the 91fwy. nice view

im not sure if its legal to go shooting in there. but i saw some shotgun shells near this pond where i got stuck....hehehe

check it out

ya let me know the directions to get there..cuz we didnt get a chance to see the radio towers like you guys did..we couldnt get that far..we were close to something similar..but not where you guys were..

Let me know again when you are gonna go out there..Id like to go..I might be moving soon..I sold my home..so Id like to run out there another time before I bail So Cal....

 

Have any of you guys been to Trabuco Canyon?

 

Yes,me and a buddy hike back there even though we are not allowed to go there..its been closed off since the fires barbecued the area..its shitty cuz its a bad ass place to hike and I hear the trails are really cool to cruise..you can see the forest entrance trail where we hike..but its gated off..at least last time we went..which was about a month ago..we had to grab our hiking gear etc..and run up into the tree line..sometimes you might see a Sherriff there hanging out getting some ZZZZZZZZZZ or waiting for punks like us to try and sneek in..hahahahaa..

And Silverado is closed also..well..that entrance there is anyways...that was another cool trail that is close by .....I think the only thing in Orange County at this time to do any kind of off roading is Holy Jims..hahaha..let me know if im wrong..cuz id like to hit another trail thats close by..
