Hello , interested in joining this trip. I have a stock Tacoma though would it be worth it to even try?

First easy trails.
Second day moderate.
From Guide to California Backroads and 4 Wheel drive Trails.
"Moderate, very rocky and narrow in places , but no major obstacles. Perfect trail for stock aggressive 4x4 SUV's and new drivers looking to take on more challenge. Very steep and narrow going down to the lakes."

 

[Michael & Fe]

Hi Kent! Thanks for picking a place closer to us this time. :)
If the road has degraded to a point that a stock Tacoma can't make it, at least Tacojon and I will be in the same boat and we could find an alternative Camp for the weekend.

From what I hear you should be ok, with the cold coming your micro wave might be a big hit again. And the blender and the electric hot water. ;-)
