Slick Rock and Corral Hollow wheeling trip 6/9/12

(original thread: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/northern-california/219170-norcal-...)

The trip will be at Slick Rock & Corral Hollow.

Friday camping group: Meet at the Stockton Autozone (3828 East Main Street, Stockton) at 1:00PM. It's pretty much where the 99 and 4 intersect, then caravan from there. From there, it'll probably take 2.5 hours to get to Silver Creek where we can set up shop and maybe wheel a little or fish.

Saturday morning group: Plan on meeting at the Bear Valley gas station at 8:00AM (map) where GHOST will lead this group to meet the rest of us at the campsite ~4 miles down the road. 
Note that this gas station will not be open for service at that time, but if you want to fill up that morning, you can stop at Chevron in Arnold

Trail had snow on first half mile. Muddy in spots and alot of loose rocks. Fun as always but I think those with out skids and lockers need to be cautious. I would highly recommend sliders, lift, 33" tires. Those without skids will have to take it slow to avoid hitting bottom and those without a locker will prob need to winched up the very last obstacle. For the long WB rigs, you might have to do some multiple point turns for some sections. Anything is doable if you have the will. Take a look at my rig from top to bottom and you'll see what I mean. Can it be done, yes. Can it be done cleanly, no. Made the last obstacle the hard way too. Also for those with open air filters like a cold air, if the water crossing does not get lower might have to think about changing it out.

I think I'm out on this one -- working late on Friday, and not up for leaving Oakland in the wee hours of the a.m. to make the 8 a.m. Bear Valley gas station meet-up.  Next time!

yea next time!

I am regretfully out.... There is an exam i need to take in order to enroll in a program and go figure it lands on this day

ahh ok. Good luck on your exam

BUMP!!

One more week! If I have this correct, these folks are who I have on the FJ list:

GHOST + brother

Philly

daPitbull,

rotorhead (maybe)

MoreFJland (maybe)

Please let me know if this is accurate and/or if I need to update anything

In for sure. Where & when is the Friday meet up? It's still a TBA above. We might leave early Friday morning.

We're meeting at the Autozone in Stockton. It's pretty much where the 99 and 4 intersect. Time is still TBA bc I think some of us will be doing last minute mods in the morning lol. I want to say afternoon though.

After that, there really isn't a definite plan, other than drive up and maybe fish, wheel, or shoot. We'll be on CB channel 30 if you're already out there before us.

idk how to edit the first post on here, but the updated info will be in the thread on TW (link in OP)

Cool We'll probably make camp by early afternoon.

BTW, there's an edit function under Options at the top right of your original post.

cool thanks! I updated the OP.

We should be at Silver Creek at around 3:30PM to set up shop

I'm out of this one too.  So many damn plans on the weekends! Next time though.

got it, thanks. hopefully you can come out on the next one
