We took off up hwy 99 from my place to hwy 36, took 36 to Paynes creek and Paynes creek road to high trestle, to the ishi road. We 4 wheel the ishi road out to the durley flat jeep trail. The durley flat jeep trail took us out to a really cool stone corral where we parked and camped for the evening. There were a few gnarly sections of road going in, but the old swine wollowed through it all, no problems.
We set up camp and stayed the night on top of a big flat bluff at an old cattle camp. Willards camp. Behind where the photo is taken there's an old stacked Stone corral about 75-100' in diameter and about 6 feet tall. The whole area is way out on a bluff and once the sun went down all the stars came out. We both tossed our bags out right on the grass.
In the morning we had breakfast and then drove out, and down to Fischer camp, which is way way down on antelope creek. I've posted photos previously of my landcruiser parked at Fischer camp.
Beautiful spot, too much traffic.
We took a walk upstream from there and made several tangents and smoked several joints. We have both been up that trail before to an old homestead called McClure place.
We didn't get all the way to the homestead this time, we turned back before we were both miserable. When we got the truck back up towards the begining ishi road, and started to wheel out, Ron says to me jokingly" want to take the hogsback down"
Hogsback is rough, not technically difficult but real hard on the back.
So what do I do...
I made a left and we took hogsback down, which Ron has never done, so even Ron got to see new stuff this trip. Had a great time, cant wait to go back.
This is on hogsback road. Mt Shasta is to the left, Lassen to the right, the ol swine, center.
Williards camp, just before we left.
