2018 FJ45 Run Sourgrass Trail CA (1 Viewer)

Does any one have the GPS Lat Long for the campsite? I'm mapping now...
Also, is there any bathrooms at the Sourgrass day use area place?

Thank you.

One last question, is Valley Hybrids open for business Friday? I wanted to pic up a few items... on the way North.

A response to the bathroom at the day use area, yes they do have bathrooms there. If I remember correctly they are pit style toilets and not the greatest.

 

[MountNGoat]

Yes, pit toilets at the day use area before you get started up the trail. As for gps, don’t have that but it’s literally the end of the trail on the south side of the river, starting at the day use area.

there's talk in my group of heading to Natural Bridges Trail on Sunday morning. Never been. Looks to be a hiking trail to a creek where you can float through a cavern? Bring your floaty! Video:
I found this info: Natural Bridges - a 2-mile hiking trail to beautiful natural bridges

That just came on to my radar a couple weeks ago. Definitely do it. Sounds like fun. There’s lots of caverns, mine sites, historical sites... this area is pretty awesome.

 

[surfpig]

The campground right before the bridge there is an actual archaeological site. Grinding rocks and stuff everywhere. Definitely worth checking out.

We expect to see some serious Wheeling this weekend

 

[GW Nugget]

I had a great time, I'm glad I finally went.
The people were great, very welcoming.
The RC car event was a hit for the kids.
I shot a vid of my whole trip with my oldest.
The trail head starts at 10 minutest if you just want to see the Fj45 event stuff.
2nd vid is a rig walk-around of Robs 45.

 

[SLOonTheGo]

It was great getting to see everyone after not being able to attend the last few years! Great videos @GW Nugget , nice to see Rob's rig getting some air time. Thanks for another great year out there G.

@The Machinist and I went to run Slickrock and wound up watching some jeepers break and nearly flop their rigs. Got to test the winch to help this guy out of a tight spot.

 

[The Machinist]

It was nice to finally make it to one of these trips again! Added a few more things to the to-do list for my 60 too...

@SLOonTheGo Thanks again for letting me take you 40 for a spin, that thing is just plain impressive!

Since my brother couldn't make it we decided to do a quick overnight trip to Corral Hollow just up the road from Sourgrass a few weeks later. Was a perfect trip for his first time driving offroad in his recently acquired 80.
