ATVOBSESSION

I just did a 2-day expedition in Plumas NF and I have some additional info on this trail (the one leading down to Poker Flat from the north, 100% within Plumas NF). Here is a track log/map excerpt: http://www.grizzlyguy.com/photos/179686968-M.jpg First off, let me say this: WOW! What a trail! It was...

We parked....where it turns to dirt...there's a parking/staging area there. Awesome info Ken, thanks! That sure is nice country out that way. 8) So it really is just a short bit of pavement to get to that parking/staging area and dirt. Any idea whether the trails/roads going out of there are closed...

Dang...Sweet ride. Gold Lake is nice. If you look at our photos...I know the guy who has the camp on the far side of the lake. Jimmy Reed. Downieville to Gold Lake and back..is 94 miles. Great ride....and BETTER STAY OPEN. GRrrrr. Yeah Ken, I saw those photos of the 2005 ride you guys did to Gold L...

I got a message from Marc last night, and they are doing well, having a blast, living their dream. He says they are taking lots of video so there should be plenty of fun stuff to watch over the winter. I forgot to ask him exactly where they were, but their latest update on the web site shows them in...

I think I would like to explore the Fordyce Lake road area. I knew that the Fordyce trail up from Indian Springs was over our level. I am glad to hear that it is possible to do some riding there, maybe at least to the creek crossing anyway. Yes, when the Indian Springs trailhead opens up again afte...

On Sunday, I went out and did a little field investigation on the 'Road Closed' sign at Yuba Pass. I could find nothing in the Forest Orders closing it, and the FS wasn't clear on the situation when I called around and asked. Anyhooo... Off I went from Little Truckee Summit and made a high-speed bee...

I'm requesting a meeting with Joe and whoever else. If I get the meeting...Grizzlyguy...you interested in attending? Sure thing, Ken. I can't speak with first hand experience as to riding that one, because so far I'm not quite as crazy as you guys. But I'm a tryin! :lol: If we're willing to help ou...

In case anyone has one:

Yeah Ken, I know what you mean. I'll bet that most of us try real hard to respect their rules and laws, but it's kind of hard to do that when it isn't clear as to exactly what they are in the first place. There does seem to be a difference between the FS out here and the FS out in Utah, such as Fish...

Thanks for the info, scotte. I'd be happy to make the crossing anywhere between Downieville and Yuba Pass, but riding straight across Yuba Pass would be the easiest. l usually unload at Little Truckee Summit and take the snowmobile route up to the top (FS 05, 15 and 12). From there, I've ridden all ...

Thanks, Dave. I haven't tried the locker yet but I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised when I do.

I know what you mean, Lori. Cat Lover has received lots of good natured ribbing about the helmet issue over on ATVUtah, but still chooses not to wear one. For a group that primarily rides Moab it sure does seem odd. In one of her videos, you see a rider flip over. And she reported another club membe...

That is a cool video, Ken! What were you using for an anchor on that winching section? FYI, one of the best video producers over on ATVUtah (Cat Lover) put up an awesome video of her and her family riding Helldorado. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZIk0wJ5k1Y She is the one riding the gr...

Thanks for the info! Looks like it was a real bad day in Downieville when that picture was taken. But what a great picture! Looks like he was calling for backup or a paddy wagon when that shot was taken. I hope you guys didn't spend too much time in the pokie or have to bust up too many rocks (with ...

Does anyone one know of a legal way to cross Hwy 49 (on an ATV) between Downieville and Yuba Pass? The obvious way per the maps would be at Yuba Pass. But we were out there yesterday and found that the road heading north from the pass is still closed to ATVs, as it was last year: http://www.grizzlyg...
