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.

woohoo! does that mean you're coming? we have a food list going on at TW. you're more than welcome to add in if you'd like

Unless something else goes wrong I'll see you guys at the campsite tomorrow night. I didn't know there was a food list going so I already picked up stuff to be self contained, but thanks for the offer. My friend Bill is coming with me, he's a jeep guy but Cha and Jerry and some of the other guys in your group know who he is and he's OK, he has wheeled with us before.

It's not what you drive but how you drive. I would wheel with Bill any day. See you two Saturday.

I'm sure Bill will be the oldest member of our group- don't tell him I told you, he's 70 this year - I've known him since he was in his late 30s. Hope I'm still doing these kinds of things when I'm his age.

Sounds good. I think I met Bill at Eagles Lake last year, maybe?

We'll see you there!

Awesome trip everyone! Check out the picture thread on TW:
