This past July, we set out on the Lost Sierra Trail with a small group of friends. I'd driven (or ridden on my mountain bike) the vast majority of this trail in bits and pieces, but never as one cohesive route. In an effort to spice things up a bit, I decided to alter the original route and take...

Even though I visit Mendocino NF more frequently than just about anywhere else, for whatever reason, I hadn't done the BDT in a single trip. Typically, we'd do bits and pieces and explore new areas along the way. Before covid hit, you could drive for hours without seeing anyone in the forest...

Selling my 2009 Lux Cruiser, which has been a fantastic overlanding / expedition vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in fall 2019 with 98k miles in bone stock condition and built it out from there.

This past June, we led a small group of folks for a Trail Run Event in the Smith River National Recreation Area, right on the CA-OR border. We ended up doing the "heart" of the trail, but had to skip out on many of the out-and-back side adventures due to time. Smith River NRA really is a...

About 1.5 weeks, I had invited a group of friends out to the Downieville / Lakes Basin Area to hopefully take on the Lost Sierra Trail and capture some video along the way. Well, the Dixie fire wasn't having any of that as her smoke continued to bellow into the atmosphere and creep southward...

Hi all, There's a lot of talk about the public being shut out of Usal beach for a number of reasons. Were looking at organizing a cleanup + education event at the end of April. But because this won't be officially sanctioned by state parks, we'll need to dispose of the trash at the Caspar...

The California Backcountry Discovery Trail was a collaborative effort between the USFS and CA State OHV Parks to create a series of dedicated off road trails throughout the state, primarily on USFS managed lands. The Mendocino segment was the first to be established back in the 1990s, with...

I'm hoping to head down to Carrizo Plain during late winter/early spring and was hoping to explore some of the dirt roads and trails in Los Padres as well. I understand that a number of trails/roads have been closed in the last 10 years for a variety of reasons, really inhibiting the ability to...

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...
