US West East Bay Monthly Meet Up - Pleasanton Ridge regional park CA - AUGUST MEET up moved to Aug 20- OLD THREAD

Very nice! Looks like we took over your spot that Friday. We were one of only three other vehicles there. So great that it's much tougher to get up to Prewitt Ridge now. I saw a group coming back out from Plaskett Ridge who probably hit the gate. Good for us! It was nice to do a whole lot of nothing for sure.

Hey Alex!

I am thinking of heading out to Prewitt Ridge sometime soon, maybe even this weekend! I am hoping you can clarify the route you took to get there now that Nacimiento-Ferguson Road is closed. I am struggling to find Los Burros Road and how it connects back up to Prewitt Ridge. Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Bryce


The main path to take is up Los Burros Rd from hwy1. Use Gaia and connect the dots. Feel free to let me know if you have Qs
 
I'll be camping at Gold Lake Aug 11-15 and plan to go hit some trails on Aug 13. Starting from Gold Lake 4x4 campground down to Deer Lake, and connect to the Sierra Buttes trail, continue to the Fire Lookout, and then down to Hwy 49 or possibly run it in reverse, starting at Hwy 49.
If anyone has made this drive or has any recomendations please let me know.
Here is the Rally point for reference:

The Fielding’s have started a lost -n-found collection; anyone leave behind a silver metal water bottle and a black erector-set collapsible chair, let me know…otherwise going to the highest bidder… there will be a transportation and sheltering fee imposed
 
Just FYI, I am selling the DIY kitchen I made years ago, needs completing.
