US West San Diego Overland Bound Trail Runs

[velociraptured]

I know it’s a little early to be talking about over land expo west in May but anyone heading out for it. Was thinking about road tripping it out and hitting some trails on the way out and back.

Me and the old lady are going to the expo, maybe we could make a trip out of it. What areas did you have in mind to hit on the way up?

I'll have to check my school schedule but that sounds pretty good to me

Snowed up in Anza Borrego today. Was pretty bizarre. View attachment 80524

Where exactly was that ?

Where exactly was that ?

We pulled off into Culp Valley area to check it out. I immediately drove into an embankment because I have no idea how to drive in fresh snow.

Right now all I have is do Bradshaw trail it starts right by the Salton Sea then come out at Blythe. Then It’s a 4 hour drive to flagstaff.


Here is a clip of the trail thank to @TrailRecon.

Took advantage of the long weekend. Apologies for not dropped a pin to try and meet up!

Happy New Years!

Due to the government shutdown, does anyone know if trails have been closed (e.g. corral canyon) or are they all still open? Looking to do a short run this weekend.

There were trails closed in Big Bear but I think more seasonal related than shutdown related. I can say that since there were no Rangers the OHV folks were driving everywhere they werent supposed to be. My guess is Corral canyon would be open but it may be a bit of a free for all.

Thanks! Hopefully the trails will be open!

As of December 21 Corral Canyon was closed. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/cleveland/recreation/ohv/?cid=stelprdb5340229

On that note, maybe we can contact someone to see if they need trash and stuff hauled out of areas affected by the shutdown?

I know there's one coming up this weekend for Joshua Tree National Park, though I hope this new spending bill the house just passed goes through.

Still looking to do a Mojave road trip from the evening of the 24th and back the 27th if anyone is interested. Idea is to leave after work the 24th and camp that night at the head of the trail on the Barstow side. Then back to San Diego that Sunday from Needles.

It looks like Inland Empire is doing a Bee Canyon run on Saturday Jan 19th. I think that's the furthest south they go and it's pretty close to us. Might be worth trying to sync up.
