Gorman/Rowher area day trip

[jermy01]

hey guys, i havn't been offroadin in a while and have sunday off, wondering if anyone wanted to hit up somthing in the somewhat near vicinity of ventura (gorman / rowher) i dont know many trails around there since miller is closed.....anything good open that someone wants to show me?

thanks

is the gorman park open? off the 5/138 freeway? I'd be up for a sunday run, the earlier the better for me

I'm sure the park is open. But the surrounding trails. MILLER and Lockwood valley are closed for a bit. The park is great for bikes or to drive thru at the end of your day but as a destination, I would hate to hit some poor 2 wheeler on a narrow trail.

yea its got some fun spots just to drive around in, a nice sand wash thats leads you to allot on places, its great just to go explore, onday i ended up on just a huge rock in the middle of no where, felt like moab i might be down to go riding

haha justin, if we do it we'll have to talk some CB trash!!! hahaha.....i'd be down for some exploring, i know this one trail i did go out on my bike, dead end and only like 100 yards long, but looked like if you took the right line, it could be pretty difficult

I'll be interested in a run. I never been to Gorman, but I have done Rowher Flats and it's pretty fun with what I would call a difficult trail.

I'll have to let you know about Sunday but Saturday I know I will be available if anyone would like to go then.

[jermy01]

well i cant go on saturday cuz of work. im down for the cruise through gorman on sunday......if we get three or more people ill make it up there....not garaunteeing any hard core trails tho, because they are pretty hard to find in the actual park, but im sure we can make some out of the river wash

[Jumpjet]

I'll be able to make it on Sunday if you are still going. I never been so I don't know how to get there. Pick a time and meeting place somewhere. I'll be coming from Santa Clarita.

[Chucks XJ]

If you guys go up to Gorman on Sunday I'm in.

[jermy01]

alright.....we'll meet at smokey bear exit where the hot dog guy usually is......9 am sound alright?

coming from the south you'll take I-5 North, you'll get off at smokey bear exit, just after lake pyramid on the 5.......take a left once you get off the freeway....straight ahead you will t-bone, thats where we will meet.

[Jumpjet]

Even though I'm not an early bird, that'll do. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing it'll take probably a half hour to get to that location from Santa Clarita.

Gee Guys
If I leave right now I should be there by Monday afternoon ! Missing the good offroading again as usual>>> I need to be back in Chino not Alabama>>>

just about

i made it 9 because someone said the earlier the better.....9 aint too bad....i gotta drive from ventura

[miguelitojeep97]

boo i wish i could go but gotta work. sounds like fun i love to go exploring that way you dont expect much and then suprise yourself...or something like that. quick question has anyone gone thru ojai to get to gorman/ frazier park? curious to see if its longer or not? i just know its a windy road



well have fun

[jermy01]

im pretty sure it'd take longer, takes us around an hour to get to dome springs campground where we jeep up the river wash.......but thats still quite aways from gorman
