Looks like fun! Hopefully the weather agrees with you-- small technicality, if you're planning on hitting the east side of big sur out by fort hunter ligget and old milpitas road, the area is known simply as "The Indians". Be sure to explore the wagonwheel caves area!

If you're going to stay in the Indians area, I'd strongly recommend that you go sometime between Nov - March. It gets hot up there, and when it does you'll be joined by a swarm of pesky gnats and yellow jackets-- not the ideal camping experience! I've posted the link the GPX track that I...

Despite being a small turnout, we had a lot of fun. The weather was second to none, except perhaps the wind storm that hit Prewitt Ridge Saturday night. I was excited to visit the Indians area, but still need to make it to the southern terminus of Old Coast Road beyond Lottie's Potrero!

Hey Ratthew, I don't have an upcoming trips planned (not til 2020 at least), but I thought you might be interested in a new site that I'm working on: www.overlandtraxx.com The site is about a week old. The plan is to have an extensive directory of overland/offroad routes across North...

Hey Ratthew, I see you're in PHX, so guessing you're not going to be attending (if you are, please RSVP). A couple of us have radios that can transmit on HAM frequencies, but no HAM licenses. We're discussing our options on public broadcast frequencies atm.

Here's a link to the Gaia GPS track with waypoints if anyone is interested. https://www.gaiagps.com/public/fBFFfrdbYTpQFemiLMhECyD9

Hey there, Wanted to put out some communication options in case you arrive late on Friday. I have a Beofeng handheld, but no HAM license yet. I'd be happy to set my beofeng to a certain frequency and keep it on, but I'd prefer to keep my transmissions to a minimum since I'm still unlicensed...

Rally Point is being super buggy, so it won't let me edit my original event at this time. Here's a working link to the map in Google Maps:

Let us know Jim! All of the ocean views are on day 2 & 3 of the trip-- definitely not any trip like Hollister or Frank Raines though. We'll be passing back through Jolon ( about 5 miles south west of King City) on Saturday. I'm expecting we'll leave the Indians area no later than 11a in order...

yo y Up to you!! There are a number of potential campsites in the Indians area (night 1). If you're good with navigating maps (google maps or gaia), I think you should be able to find us. I've dropped red pin markers at the potential campsites in the posted google map. We'll probably...

That's some crazy stuff right there- as my dad's name is Robert :)

Hey Emonomics-- You are correct, there is a campfire ban outside of most developed campsites in Big Sur at the moment. However, for night 1 we'll be literally right at the border of the NF park boundary, so perhaps we find a spot that's out of the NF's jurisdiction. For night 2, we will...

Hey folks, I'm looking to trade in my trusty 4Runner (original owner) for a 200 series Land Cruiser. She has some minor scratches/pinstriping from offroad use, but nothing major. Clean title / no accidents -- all electronics + mechanicals function perfectly. Vast majority of miles are...

They're about a 45 min drive apart, so why not do both? The views from Prewitt Ridge are spectacular and plenty of great spots to set up camp. The road to cone peak faces east, so you don't get the same exposure to the pacific. I'd recommend driving to the Cone Peak trailhead, hiking to the...

Hey folks, My name is Ben and I live in Northern California (Marin County, SF Bay Area). Since I'm wrapping up my MBA, I'm hoping to get out a lot more this summer, especially since our 4yo is all in with camping + exploring! Plans for this year include: Mendocino National Forest, Big...
