I live in Sanger, near Fresno. Ride a KFX700 and a Scrambler 500 4X4. Winter riding in the desert - Jawbone, Dove Springs, Red Rock, Football field, Spangler Hills, Dumont. Like to do some snow riding in the sierras. Spring riding in the Sierras - Miami Creek, Shuteye, Bald Mountain, Jose Basin. Like to hit Hollister ocasionally. Summer means a trip to the Oregon dunes, this year to include St. Anthonys too. Pismo anytime.

 

How is Spangler hills? Is that on (or just off the) 395? And can you camp there?

 

Happy-
Spangler Hills are the rugged rocky volcanic outcroppings between Ridgecrest and Randsburg (approximately) on both sides of 395. The Football Field is a popular dry-camping site about a mile east of 395 & 10-15 miles south of Ridgecrest. Great fun in the winter, too hot in the summer.

 

I'm in Apple valley. I usually ride Juniper flats, Big bear, Baldy mesa and Stoddard from home.

I go to Dumont and Rasor ocasionally.

 

OK, Thanks. I have explored out there before, but in my truck. I like the look of the volcanic areas. It kinda looks like the Last Chance Cyn area nearby.

 

My first post ever. Hooray for me. Anyway, I live in Thousand Palms (near Palm Springs), I ride in local areas (Edom Hill, Sky Valley, Desert Hot Springs, Cat City) and I just bought a 2004 Banshee LE.

 

Welcome to the board! Remember to allways let us know when you find good riding areas! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Found a nice place this weekend. Groveland District, Stanislaus N.F. It's mainly forest rds but it's pretty cool. Didn't see a Ranger all weekend. Saw a FS maintenance guy one time....scary seeing those green trucks coming at you when you're leaving a dust trail at 50+ LOL

Area is about 2800' and goes up from there. Dusty as all heck though this weekend. Didn't see any other wheelers except 2 guys bringing in some to go hunting. My group was about 30 people, half with quads, one bike and 2 go-karts. Kick in the pants time.

BlackandRed, I did make it out that way Saturday, we rode up by Crocker Ridge. First time we rode up there. It was dusty but great riding too. We only saw 2 trucks that were carrying firewood. No rangers either. Too bad both Polaris's end upside down. Fortunately, everyone was alright. Wife loved it, we'll have to get together for a ride. I'll post pictures asap. Lt.Dan
