@Jeep n Joe Ben here from OTG. Not sure on the exact route you're taking, but you might try Hidden Valley as an alternative to Homestake camp (if you were planning to camp over that way), which is part of the route. Not too many folks over that way, so you should probabbly be able to secure...
Selling my 2009 Lux Cruiser, which has been a fantastic overlanding / expedition vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in fall 2019 with 98k miles in bone stock condition and built it out from there. It's super reliable, rugged, and quite capable off road. I needed more space so I went to a full size...

I've posted a Gaia GPS link for directions to camp, which will be at Bear Creek Campground. Please note, when you're about 3-4 miles out from camp, you will cross the Rice Fork of the eel river. Water levels this time of year are typically 12-18", so nothing a stock 4x4 can't...
Hey folks,
If you are looking to harvest a tree, you'll need a tree permit from Mendocino NF. Permits are running low, but you can reserve one over the phone at Upper Lake Grocery 707-275-4018. I was able to reserve 3 permits, so if anyone would like one, you can pay me $10 cash at camp, or...
