I might be available. For the moderate difficultly, would a full size 2500 make it through the trails/exploration?

Are you planning to head east towards the Long Valley and Hungaletti Ridge Trails? If so, that's a great area to explore. I was up there earlier this summer, the section east of 38.63182, -120.05880 gets pretty rocky.

 

[ParksIT]

cant make this one guys. I've got other commitments

 

[DiggersDue]

This sounds like a lot of fun I will have to check with the other half. What does moderate difficultly entail? I don't know if my rig is good enough. Thanks!

There are several different trails in that area that you can connect together.
- Long Valley Trail
- Hungaletti / Squaw Ridge
- Pardoe Trail

There are also a couple different routes that you can take down to Mud Lake. Some of these roads were opened (or re-opened) to trucks in the last few years so I recommend looking at the NF maps for details. You might also want to check out Plasse Peak and the Plasse Trading Post site.

Oh, and keep an eye out for historical markers such as this one. There are several along the trails in that area.

Just arrived, I am in a silver tacoma just west of the gas station

 

[Offroadtails]

Thank you to everyone that came out including all kids today. We did a quick geocache hunt before hitting the trail. Cache was found and logged. Even did a quick clean up of a camp site location after the run was completed. Thank you. Again. There is some video and drone footage that will hopefully get uploaded soon.

 

[Curt_JK]

I was running a second APRS radio which was beaconing the trip: APRS Tracks

 

[Offroadtails]

Thank you for the track. How did the drone footage come out?
