Whose from the Bay Area? Post a pic

[HuffyWK]

We were in Yosemite over the weekend and google routed us by LaGrange Off-road park? Anyone been out there? We checked it out and it looked like complete mayhem that somehow worked.

Can’t say i have been, have you checked it out at this point?

I know this is an older post - but I’ve been thinking about checking out Knoxville OHV and am a novice to off-roading. Is it doable for a beginner?

From Knoxville OHV last weekend. It's perfect out there right now!

Concord/East Bay here!

I just bought a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon a few months ago,am new to off-roading, and have been trying to hit up trails/SVRA’s/off-road parks that are within a couple hours from where I live and can be a good day trip.

Hi everyone, located in Burlingame - not far from SFO. Bought my Jeep a couple of years ago but now trying to figure out what overlanding is all about. Pic is from my first off-road trip on the rubicon trail last year. Anyone know of any meetups in the Bay Area?

OVERLAND BOUND EAST BAY MEETUP

Monthly Meet Up
Sunday September 11th, 2022 1-3pm
Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park (staging area)
9801 Foothill Rd
Sunol, CA 94586

Open House Sunday
This month will be a little different in that we will have an open house Sunday to show off your rig. One of our members mentioned that they had never been in a roof top tent before. So the goal of the meet up to bring your rig ready to show off and ready for guests. If you don’t want someone to sit inside just keep your doors closed, but maybe someone has wondered how spacious a Jeep is. If you are ok with having people check out your particular brand of RTT open it up, or your trailer built in, or your camper top. Often we watch videos but never have an idea of the reality to all the different vehicle configurations we ride in down the trail. So if you are willing to open up your rig it will be a fun day.

Yup, we meet the second Sunday of each month. The link above takes you to our thread. We have about 80 people that rotate in and out, it’s a great group of good friendly people. See the link above, post #2 has the yearly calendar

Based on the reviews that I found in a Google search, it looks like a perfect spot for beginners:

Also thinking about taking a trip up north to check out the Mendocino backcountry discovery trail.

Edit: excuse the link in my post still trying to figure this out.

Noice! I’ll try and make it out on Sunday. Thanks for the information on the meetup. Much appreciated.

 

[JaredThomsen]

Thanks for the feedback!

I wish there were some great offroad trails more local to the East Bay, but driving a couple hours to catch a trail or something is definitely doable.

If you end up hitting the Mendocino backcountry discovery trail I’d love to hear how you thought it was.

Ive been there and its fairly easy, even seen a vw beetle out there. Just dont head out there when its raining

 

[JaredThomsen]

Awesome, good to know! Thanks for the feedback! I’ll have to get out there before the rainy season starts then.

Knoxville is pretty terrible I won’t lie. It’s also like a furnace in summer.

Mendocino NF can be great, also hot. Check out the North Bay group. They run up there quite a bit.

 

[JaredThomsen]

I appreciate your honest feedback! Gotcha! I’ll have to keep an eye on the North Bay group also. Thanks!
