Poker Flat, Cleghorn Bar Trails CA

[WCO_Ryan]

Just got back from a great trip with @stoney126 and @707nick
Came in on Saddleback Rd out of Downieville. Pretty mild as far as difficulty goes. There were a few spots you could get in trouble in but if you've got a good line you'll be fine. We went out in three stock rigs LX470, 1st Gen Pathfinder and a JKU and had no issues. Hag a great time at some pretty remote camp sites. We will definitely be back soon,

Many pictures on the way

Yes! Not sure which way you went but we took the trail out towards La Porta. Got some good footage I'm uploading to YT now.

From there we hit the Saddleback Rd trail down the Poker Flat OHV camp site

About 20min into the trail it got dark. which made it much more exciting. Got into camp around 9:30pm

Getting some grub on with my little and @707nick

I love it up there. Did you guys get to check out saddleback lookout? If not you need to go back up and check it out. One of the guys who works it is Tony, we spent and hour talking to him.

We didnt :( by the time we hit Saddleback it was getting dark. We will definitely make it a mandatory detour next time.
