Bc109

[sarah]

I can add a trail page to the Trail Reports section and get a hold of some maps if you guys want. Unfortunately I don't know the area, so if anyone wants to shed some light on this - area facts, reports or photos, etc - shoot me a PM.

These are directions given to me...I have never been here either.


It is about 20 miles down Lockwood Valley rd. You will see a sign that says Dome Springs. Right after you get off of the road is a great spot to air down and disconnect the sway bars. Follow that trail for a short while keeping an eye out to the left; you need to drop into the wash bed as soon as you find a good spot.

You will travel up the wash for a little while traveling up it is better to stay to the left but the best part of the trail will shoot off from the right. You are going to travel up the main wash for about ½ a mile. At that point it will start to become a little more difficult and as you travel become more and more difficult. The trail will finally dead end at the top and you will have to turn around and come back the way you came. The entire trail is about 5-6 miles.

Hey, thanks for the info. I will try to give it a shot this weekend and post some pix for y'all.

What cb channel will you be running?

[bruce p]

Anyone camped in any of the campgrounds around there? I notice that there is one at the end of BC109- Dome Springs. Also, Reyes Creek and Ozena are nearby but on the pavement. Anyone have any aopinions on these? Any one want to go this Sat 5/12?

[SAR Jeeper]

JEEPCRAZY - Join in! I have never been there, but as I understand it is stocker friendly. If you look at pictures from the links, of course they are gonna show the bad a$$ stuff, not the easy (where you will find my unlocked Jeep!)

bruce p - Pls give a trail report when you get back!!

[SAR Jeeper]

Roknxj - Yeah, I was thinking that might be the easiest way for you. We can meet at the trailhead (Dome Springs Road and Lockwood Valley Road) at 10 or 10:30ish. It is a 25 mile drive from Fazier Park.

I'll be on Channel 11.

[JEEPCRAZY]

Channel 11 it is. Not how long it will take from the direction we are comming from but hope to make it on Sat by 10 to 10:30am

Called the ranger station today- everything around Miller MIGHT open Memorial Day weekend! Right now, BC109 is about the only thing open off of Lockwood. We plan to run it this Saturday and then head over to some more trails off of Cuddy Valley and then camp over there somewhere. We'll post up when we get back. Anyone interested in checking out Miller if it opens Memorial weekend?
