Has anyone heard of the DAVIS FLAT OHV area It's near Maxwell.
here is a link http://www.bokasmo.com/pages/ohv/california/davisflat/
200 miles of trails in the Mendecino Nat. forest.

Or the OHV behind China flat campgrounds in Kyburz.

I live in Santa Rosa, in Sonoma county. And there aren't many places to wheel around here. All of them are in mendocino or Lake counties. I need some place fresh. Haven't been there though.
Keep me updated.

Hey Jack, good place to break in a new t-case. :)

Never been there so I'm up for it. The middle of March could bring lots of mud. Don't like mud but it would be virgin mud and that's the best kind of mud. :D

Maybe Mushroom Rock outside of Kyburz? Would be VERY interesting with a little snow. :shock: There's also camping nearby.

Look at what I found

http://4crawler.cruiserpages.com/4x4/CA-4/index.shtml

The site lists 6 trails off HWY4. Maybe for this run or future runs? Looked like interesting info.

I've been up there a couple of times. There are a lot of fire roads and campgrounds on the way up Bear Valley. I been pass the gate once and found a little lake to camp by. It was was probably '89-'90 and I was still on 235's so the wheeling was fire road only. The roads were fun at 30 to 40mph in a stcok rig. That would be a great place to take everybody for an outing but that was also 13yrs ago.

How about Nevada?

There are different levels of trails out there, but it will still be cold as piss in March.

Where in Nevada? Moon Rocks? Details man, details. :D

Well there are a bunch of local spots around Reno, Carson City, and even Virginia City. We'd need a local guide to get to some of them, but Jes and I know someone.

During the summer of 2001 I went out Highway 4 in search of those trails. Ramsey was chained off and we couldn't get in. We couldn't find the pacific trail and so we did Corral Hollow. It was really easy. A bone stock rav 4 could do it. It was really pretty though. Great views and we actually got side tracked and wound up on one of bear valley's ski runs :)
There is some cabin out there with a bunch of emergency supplies in it and a guest book. I signed it so now I am part of history LOL!

Think it's too early in the year for something around Virginia City? That sounds like a place our "southern" brothers to get to.

Camping, vehicle requirements? Want to lead it CRASH? :shock: :lol:

Mushroom Rock on the 15th & 16th?
Lisa and I will go up Friday night. China Flat campground "should" be open. Can someone check?

Easy trail: some rocker protection, maybe 30's? Stockers can do this trail with a little help.

HWY 50 out of Sacto. Go through Kyburz and turn right (south) on Silver Fork Road. Go about 6 miles to China Flat campground (on right).

I'm in for sunday morning if any body is going
to run then.

According to my calculations using computer mapping you are looking at a drive time from downtown Sac of about an hour and a half. That is assuming that you go strait there without getting lost. The directions sound a bit vague. Has anyone been there that can remember any land marks down around the campground? Are there any big signs/small signs? It looks like it’s less than 6 miles on my map. Mayby like 2 or 3 but the map could be wrong.

Thanks for your help, I dont think I will be going however, unless something dramatic changes with my own rendezvous.

Do you have a front tow point? If you do then it shouldn't be a problem. We help each other on the trail, I hope nobody has a camera nearby.:D

Anyone have a plan B? There is a gate just after the turn off on silver fork. The gatekeeper guy said it would be open the end of April.

I'm finally back on line (sort of). Computer crashed. :mad:

Plan B, good question. Check out the Rubicon trail head? Snow run to Uncle Toms cabin?
