US West Tri-Valley OB Corral Hollow OHV Trail.

So I am clear, a classic propane Coleman stove is not permitted?

Here's what I could dig up:

Stanislaus National Forest - Alerts & Closures

Stanislaus National Forest - Alerts & Closures

www.fs.usda.gov

These fire restrictions are the same for all hazard zones, which is not usual. This forest order is part of a regional strategy for all national forests. Please familiarize yourself with what these restrictions mean, including:

• Any equipment like propane stoves or lamps, with an on/off switch, are permissible at all campsites
• Campfires are allowed in designated campgrounds ONLY
• Campfires are NOT allowed in any dispersed campsites. Only propane equipment with an on/off switch

Propane when stored is a liquid, when it comes out of the bottle it expands into a vapor/gas.

“ Propane is stored as a liquid fuel in pressurized tanks because it takes up much less space in that form.“

 

[AlexAtWagan]

Sorry, gang. I'm going to have to bail on this one.

Right now it looks like I won't be able to leave the Bay area until the afternoon on Friday. Target is to get to camp before sundown. I will probably stay until Sunday.

 

[06tacodude]

Oh I'm really eager to make it to camp this time. Last year (first week of July) it was still snowed in on both sides of the trail just before the camp spot. We ended up setting camp 1 mile from the Bear Hunters Cabin. It will be me and the two kiddos.

Propane stoves are allowed, you still need the Cal Fire permit to use any gas stoves or lamps. The ban is for fire out side developed campsites, we will not be in a developed or supported camp

Emonomics,

Propane stoves are permitted, you will need a CAL Fire permit for any gas stove or gas lantern's. No campfires outside developed campsites. We are not in a developed site so no wood fires.

Corral Hollow OHV Trail.

A 13.8 mile moderately rated point-to-point trail located near Arnold - Bear Valley CA off HWY 4.

Elevation Range: 6712' - 8180'

Working Thursday and Friday, will join the Copper mountain trip next month.

@Budman will you be starting the trailhead on the Bear Valley side or on the Cabbage Patch side?
I'm assuming the Cabbage Patch side, which takes us past the Bear Hunters Cabin since you mentioned 13mi point to point.

@RubiRigo I might be slightly ahead of you as I plan to depart by 2PM latest from San Jose; but I'm also trying to be in Livermore area by lunchtime if possible and catch my last afternoon meetings from there. However, let's coordinate and exhange info anyways in case we end up syncing up and we can head up the trail together. I have the two kids with me so leaving as early as I can is always best.

@makboz What's your departure time looking like?

 

[KingsRiverKid]

So after watching some you tube I'm having second thoughts. I'm in a GX470 with 2inch lift on 33's. Sliders are on order so not on yet and I'm new to off road driving. Is it as tough as some of those vids look? Thoughts?

You’ll be great. I’ve run this several times in an almost stock 4Runnner. It’s a great route to get yourself comfortable with your rig. Plus running it with a group allows you to get pointers on the technical parts. Do it! (I would if I didn’t already have plans)

 

[Jginutah]

Kingsriverkid,

I concur with Sakiwest. I ran it with a stock 2008 landcrusier with factory tires and pulling my chaser trailer. No problem.

 

[Jginutah]

Larry,

I am in. I will meet up with the team Thursday in Arnold. I will be waiting for you guy/gals by the Chevron. I assume most everyone will want to top-off fuel in Arnold.
John

 

[KingsRiverKid]

Thanks for the input guys, we will be there. See you on Thursday

 

[Budman]

We will be going in on the East Side before Slick Rock.
