Thanks for the invite, I moved out of the area but the trip sounds amazing. Have fun! Take care.

Sounds like a fun trip, love 395 area. Just went over Sonora Pass from the East side about 2 months ago. Can't make this one because I already have plans for next weekend.

Keep me in mind for a future trip.

 

[FirenzeForza4x4]

Ahhh. Looks like a great trip! I’m in Napa too but pesky kids birthdays get in the way this weekend. Hope to meet up soon!

Thanks for the invite but I'll be in L.A. for work that weekend. Went there once and love it. Wished I could joint you, have fun and be safe.

I was there this year the day they opened the Sonora pass. I was on the 395 when they opened it. Even though the road was cleared, the snow was CRAZY!

I'm good to go. Since it sounds like you are headed out 108, I assume you'll be transiting through Rio Vista on Hwy 12. Could I pick you up at the junction of 12 and 160, which is just East of Rio Vista? I have ham and GMRS.

Sounds Great! We will be taking 108 to 395.

Meeting at 12/160 Is perfect. See you there between 1:00-1:15ish (traffic). We will be on GMRS 15.

We will meet you at the corner Farmers Market parking lot. ‘DMF BY THE TOWER’.

Great to meet you and I will see you on Friday @ ~1:00ish.

Roger that. See you then.

I’ve added the GPX files for our trip.

Now this GPX includes leaving Napa, stopping in Rio Vista to pick up DARTH RVER, then head to Lodi to pick up BRM EXPLORATION, then to 395 Campsite.

We should make good time all the way to the campsite, now with that said, I want this to be fun and an experience. We will have our COMMS to communicate and should anyone want/need to stop for anything, we will do so. If time runs out, I have back up campsites along the route we are taking, so no worries.

The goal is to enjoy the trip and see Copper Mountain, Bald Mountain, Sahegen Peak, and any other thing you want to see within the time frame we got. I DO want us to all stay together so we can all be safe together. This area we are going has a spider web of trails that one couldn’t possibly travel in a week, so we can discuss what everyone wants to see once we get there and adjust accordingly.

There is no cell service most of the time, so anything you need to download at home before the trip, I’d do so (maps, music, etc…). It’s going to be cold, so bring provisions to keep warm at night. Make sure you get a fire permit, they require a permit to use your stove. It’s easy to get online, and it’s free.

Permits - Ready for Wildfire

Obtain necessary permits for controlled burns and fire activities. Learn about CAL FIRE requirements and apply online for safety compliance.

www.readyforwildfire.org

Even though I’m being the “leader” right now and giving all the boring stuff, we will have fun. There is so much awesomeness out there!

Any Questions, let me know

(ALSO, IF ANYONE NEEDS GMRS RADIO, I HAVE EXTRA HANDHELDS)

See everyone soon :)

Any pictures?

Sorry for the very late response. My husband and I were out on the trails (Applegate/Lassen trail in Nevada) so I missed this trip. The trip you did sounds wonderful as I love anything along 395. I hope the group does a similar one in the future, I also will monitor for future events. We are happy there is a local group formed now. Until our paths cross at a event or meetup, Steve and Melanie Kramme from Novato.
