So-Cal wheelin trip September 12th-14th

There is a shortcut to the beach from Gorman but it's still about an hour drive. Pyramid lake is nice and not far. Maybe 15-20 min drive down the 5. kings campground is a little out of the way and yes, I believe to get there you need an action pass however it's near a cool little river/pond however I'm sure it's all dried up right now.

 

enlighten me on the shortcut from Gorman?! I've taken Frazier Park to Lockwood valley road to the 33 before straight down through Ojai and ended up at C street. Is there another route from Gorman?

 

well, I use the term shortcut loosely. If you got down the 5 a little further, you eventually get to the 126 which you can take straight through to Ventura. I think it's a little quicker than going from Frazier to the 33 through Ojai. all the 30 mph roads in Ojai are a bitch!

 

Im just packing sandwich stuff,soap,change of clothes, a pillow,some captain morgan w/coke and sleeping in my truck haha. Im lazy

 

Just a heads up...if ANYBODY is still down to hit Ocotillo Wells, myself and 2 other forum members and few friends will be there Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.

Get us on the Race Radio: 152.525Mhz

 

right on im rollin the same way

 

Im stoked to finally see that build of yours ! Hope you dont mind me taking pics haha

 

Hopefully I can get some free stuff at the 4wheel parts event on sunday at gorman. Should be some good vendors and theyre having a 4x4 course there too. Sounds like fun

 

I think the 4x4 course they're talking about is the one that's normally there but it's still pretty cool. I've never seen any other 4x4 courses but this one has some good variety. all sorts of concrete and rocks, a water crossing, a big hill with varying degrees of difficulty, and other shit that I have no idea what it's for.

 

Also, someone from 4runners.com might come up to wheel with us and they wanted to know what time you guys were planning on getting started on Sat morning?

 

When I crack open a cold one to start the day

 

hahaha, yeah I figured as much.

 

I'll be up at the crack of dawn fishing or hiking around/exploring...I don't sleep in ....I also pass out around 10pm

 

Yeah I'm the same way. But not sure if there's any fishing there at Gorman. There's stuff not too far from there like pyramid, castaic and piru. But all of them are at least 30-45 minutes away.

 

Im all for it. You socal guys better have some good fishing haha

 

So you guys staying in Gorman the whole time or ocotillo too?

I might be down to stop by maybe stay a night. I live pretty close. All crawlers or any 2wd guys going???

Fishing castaic dam would be the best bet considering the time of year. surfing anywhere southern facing you'll score, waters around 70.

 

Nice ! I think im the only 2wd going im a loner haha. Ill be the guy in the black access cab trying to do some 40 plus trails at gorman by myself haha. The videos I found on youtube looks like 2wd truck have fun out there foin minor prerunner stuff which is what im looking for

 

What trails are everyone else doing?

It's versatile there and 2wd friendly for sure.

I'm down to cruise around some of them

 

I'm 2wd too.
