This is a INTEREST check before I create a Rally Point. Please look this over and let me know if you will be able to attend?
Memorial Day weekend Wed May 20 - Sun May 24, I think this can be done in 3-4 days, I say lets shoot for Sunday since Monday is a holiday incase we need an extra day, etc.
I created a 115mi OHV map/trail compiled of 5 other trails on "All trails".
I have attached the link to the trail as well as the All trails maps, as their sites show pictures of the route also. I was hoping to do this over Memorial Day weekend Wed May 20 - Sun May 24, I think this can be done in 3-4 days, as its an overall easy trail or roads and not many obstacles. I have never done this trail but with looking on alltrails it looks like pretty much any 4X4 should be able to do this.
I have also attached the GPX & KML files for this route to this email.
1. Link to Built Trail GaiaGPS - Emerald Pools & Bowman Lake Trail
2. Stop #1 Emerald Pools Emerald Pools
3. First leg of trail Bowman Road and Meadow Lake Road to Henness Pass
4. Stop #2 Faucherie Lake Waterfalls Faucherie Lake Waterfalls
5. Second Leg of trail Henness Pass OHV Road
6. Third/last leg of trail Saddleback Mountain Lookout OHV Route
Haven't picked out exact camping spots yet, but i figure we can find on the drive or plan before.

Welcome Marc, I’m in the NW part of Fresno. We have some good guys in the area. We should be getting together at some point.

Let me know, I am currently waiting on some Rock Sliders and a Camper Shell. Both should be here in 2 or 3 weeks. But I am building up as Igo.
We are always interested in trail runs.. Hopefully this year we can get some in sooner than later. Welcome!

Like to welcome the new guys to OB. I am out of Visalia CA but I camp a lot above Visalia and Fresno but not in Yosemite. Up in shaver, dinky creek, courtright reservoir. Next month I'm going to Monache Meadows again for the holidays. Keep checking the forums for trips members are taking and join in. You'll have a great time. I post in the forums in Overland Trips now and then some of my camping spots. 
Camping on the Mojave Road last month.
now I'm heading inthewoods next.

I feel like when we get out of this Shelter-in-Place, the Central CA guys should plan a Bald Mountain Day/Overnight Run! Would be a great way for us all to get together and do a meet and greet.
Glad to see so many Overlandbounders from the Central Valley!
