Lost Coast Trail Run Update / Info

[WesternXJ]

Pot luck will be Saturday night at the campground. Got any leads for trails to explore?

 

[Bronco]

I haven’t been up there at all so… but anyway it looks like there are a few interesting trails/roads north of that Shelter Cove Rd we could check out, Kings Peak, Ettersburg honeydew etc. it looks like you could make a loop out of it.

If you do go wheeling on your own, please stay on the main trails, roads, etc. Respect locked gates and no trespassing signs. If you do park, don't wander off too far from the main trail. Remember, this is southern Humboldt, and there are a number of rather well fortified, armed, and boobie trapped; pot farms in that area. I'd hate to see you on Sunday with real bullet holes (not the stick on kind), on your rigs....

I know someone with one of those magic gate keys. He is a Bee Keeper, Pot plant require polunation too. Anyway, I'll see if I can get a hold of him, maybe get some sugestions to.

Darn, I had fun last year and this sound even more fun with the BBQ potluck. Can't make it this year 3rd Daughter graduates HS Saturday.

SF Jack, I figured I'd have to leave SF at 0430 Sunday to get to Garberville by 0830. It's over 200 miles. HWY 101 is a good four lane divided except for a small stretch between Cloverdale and Ukiah (about 25 miles through Hopland) again just past Willits and the last 30 miles north of Standish Hickey campground to Garberville. Last year stayed at a dive motel the night before and drove home the afternoon after reaching HWY 1 north of Fort Bragg.

Everyone have fun and be safe.

Ok I know it's late but I'm in. Zion, I might be able to hook up with you on Sat. and we can run up together if you want. I have spare ribs for the pot luck.

 

[Bronco]

How bout those keys? Any luck?

 

[ChuckD]

Sorry, haven't had time to call my friend. Neil keeps bothering me.

 

[WesternXJ]

Is anyone else bringing a BBQ? I've only got a small, portable BBQ.

 

[BenXJCA]

If I didn't bend my drag link all up I would totally be down to go. I live in Santa Rosa so its close to enough to wheel at. Maybe next time I'll go with you all.
Hope you guys have fun!
Happy trails.

We are going to bring a Salad and a Watermelon. I don't have a bbq to bring but I got fire wood
Neil, When will you be coming through Modesto? We will probably leave around 9:00 which translates into 10:00

 

[Bronco]

I got a blowtorch.

 

[ChuckD]

Any last words of advice before I head out this morning?

 

[Neil]

Drive like the wind young grasshopper

 

[Neil]

Anybody got room at a camp site? Got my Jeep fixed and can't find any place to stay any where near Eureka.

 

[ZPD]

Neil,
Chuck and I are staying at Standish-Hickey near the town of Leggett (IIRC). Eureka is quite a ways away. Might want to look for something close to Garberville since that is where we are meeting Sunday. The other day when I was looking at the topo map, there was quite a few campsites in that area and around Leggett.
