There's not much for wheeling in the area you're talking about other than Garcia ridge. If you are willing to drive a little there's rock front ranch ohv area off of hwy 166. It's about 45 min from Lopez lake. There's several miles of trails, mostly easy with a few fun spots. There's a couple of primitive campsites and there's a rock climbing spot nearby. It is A zone deer season now so the campsites might be full. You also could check out the carrizzo plain. No real trails, only Dirt roads but some cool stuff to see. There's Indian rock paintings in a cool rock formation and a nice visitor center. There's Two campgrounds, but I like the dispersed camping off of caliente rd. passed the camp ground. Great views of soda lake and the hills on top of caliente with tons of great spots to set up camp there's also a hiking trail up there. You can leave Lopez lake for Garcia ridge and continue passed the Garcia trailhead on hi mtn rd to the pozo saloon. Get a pozo martini and tri tip nachos there, then head to hwy 58 to get to carrizo. The weather should be in the 80s this weekend but check, it can get hot there. I'd go to carrizo myself if you haven't been there.
