Camp Jeep California

The event was great. The trails had sections that were like parts here in So Cal near Truckhaven (where Tierra del Sol is held annually) and Ocotillo Wells. Quite a mix from stockers to hard core rigs and even some Jeep history on the trails. I saw CJ's, YJ's, TJ's, XJ's, ZJ's, WJ's of all varieties, one person brought a restored GPW and ran it on the trails, another trail guide had a real sweet Willy's wagon, yet another guide had a AMC Jeep Commando, etc... We had some rigs from Dynatrac, Currie, JP Off-Road, and others I know I am forgetting. Here are some photos I took (sorry only a few) and some others from one month prior when all us trail guides had to go to learn the trails we would be taking the rest on. Over at the Camp Jeep village they had all kinds of stuff for the family. The main music group for the Friday concert was Los Lobos and they were great as usual, but not to forget all the other musicians that were there for Sirius Satellite radio also. Looking forward to next year! Well without further babbling here you go.

Nice pics. Where was Camp Jeep held and when? Is it an annual thing here in Cali? I live in Sacto and would like to attend in the future, I only heard of the 1 in Ohio.

It was held August 19th-21st in the Santa Ynez mountains just north of Solvang. This is the first year for a California event. I am not sure if they will have it again in the same location or return to where they first started it all in Colorado. Either way I will be there again for sure.

It's fun to get people "hooked" on 4 wheeling. I had one husband and wife come up to me in the campground (I was still wearing my trail guide shirt and heading to the shower) and he said his wife was scared on one loose up hill section on the first day and got out to walk it, then the next day she rode all the way, and finally by the next was driving. They were so pleased with the event. This what I really enjoy.

I've never been to Camp Jeep, but would like to go if it is in Cali again. I've wheeled the tougher trails here in Northern Cali (Rubicon, Fordyce, etc), but would still like to go and hopefully get my wife to drive and get into 4 wheeling more. If you get the family into wheeling, then it's all the better for U as well. :laugh: Thanks for the info.

Hollister OHV (Just south of San Jose) would be a good place to have the event. There is plenty to do there from mild to somewhat wild.
