Hi I’m Kevin
Location: Roseville, CA
Rig: 2004 Ford Excursion
Experience: Zero, zilch, nada. My wife and I just became empty nester’s and love the idea of getting out and exploring more. Being self-sufficient and having an excuse to innovate and play with cool gear ain’t bad either!View attachment 241244

You live in a great area to explore the beautiful Sierra’s. Quick trips for a day or weekend. Try Hwy 49 and keep going it will take you through the dogwood trees in the spring. Gorgeous. Or cut over on Hwy 20 from Nevada City and go explore the town of Washington. The back way out of Washington takes you to North Bloomfield. Hydraulic mining is evident. All the roads are passable or at least they were last time I was there. If you go past N. Bloomfield you can keep going to Granitville. That “road” takes you to Bowman Lake and Fordyce reservoir. Roads are pretty ok with 4X4 or an old VW bus
Get paper maps of the area. GPS is spotty as is cell service.
Happy exploring.[/QUOTE
I guess I should have let you know that my stepdad was a gold miner and I’ve been on almost every inch of that territory as a kid and adult. I went to kindergarten in the town of WA. 6 students K-8th grade. My youngest went to school in N Bloomfield and they ran in a generator.

Marc, sorry to be late in replying here, but welcome to the community... Good looking setup for your Turtle Cruiser... I have a cousin over in the Aroura area I am hoping to visit next year (budget permitting)... perhaps we will get a chance to get together and do a li'l wheeling while I am there.Name: Marc
Rig: FJ Cruiser
Location: SW Denver, Colorado
I've mostly traveled to National Parks, but looking to do more weekends in the mountains around Denver.

Welcome to OB Bev... in some ways I am the same as I do more camping from the truck to simply be close to my destination whether hunting, hiking, or canoeing... though I find myself wanting more and more to take the truck out camping just to find a trail somewhere and take it camping.Name: Bev
Rig: 2020 Kia Sportage
Experience: been weekend camping in my rig on/off since April 2021.
Location: NH
I mostly like finding free campsites near hiking trailheads. I’m a hiker and I find it cheaper to stay where I’m hiking so I can hike more than one day and eliminate the drive time…giving me more time for coffee in the morning.

Hallo Kevin... welcome to the community... I have to admit I misread your location initially as Rossville GA which is about an hour and a half south of me. "Excellent another member in my area... oh wait... DOH!!!"Hi I’m Kevin
