I haven’t been to a rally pt before. How do I confirm I’m going?
Hey everyone, I JUST joined up today. Saw this forum and recognized the photo; I hiked that exact trail on Saturday (I live in Humboldt). I'm hoping to get involved in some overlanding community soon. Unfortunately, I can't make this one as my wife and I are heading towards Ashland, OR that weekend. Enjoy the Lost Coast!

There should be a "rsvp" section in the attendees section. Look for an icon that says "going".
Hey guys,
Not sure what the route looks like, but the gate north of Usal Beach is locked during the wet season (until april or may usually). If you're planning to camp at Usal, you'll have to backtrack to the 101, go through Garberville, and take pavement to Shelter Cove before you're back on dirt.

The rough outline is camp at Usal Beach Friday night, then drive through and tour Avenue of the Giants, possibly lunch on the Eel River (off roading a little) which is just north of Founders Grove, and disperse camping Saturday night, Sunday drive to Fern Canyon which is stunning (bring water boots) to hike up the stream, and camp at or near Jedediah Smith Redwoods. Howland Hills Rd is a fun dirt road through JSR and Grove of the Titans is there as well. Monday we travel north up through Grants Pass Oregon and it’s about 6 hrs south down Hwy 5 to Modesto.
Thats why Jason called it a road-trip camping type trip, but the whole area is so gorgeous even from the road :)

I'll have to make it another trip, I'll be at the ham cram in Modesto so I can eventually talk to everyone properly
Sounds fun! Am I reading the meeting coordinates correctly-- Are we meeting north of Usal Beach?

I should be finalizing the coordinates this week. The ones posted were just to get the result point up and running

I have a brother that’s not a member but wants to tag along on the lost coast trip. Can I invite him?
