I'm looking at putting a long weekend together n the fall for a ride n Hat creek. This area is primarily fire roads but the crazy s are bound to find something. ..Need some feed back do we want to dry camp by a stream or full hook up camp at a camp ground..Also there is plenty of stream fishing please give me your feed back..thanks
Thats a great place to Camp right by the creek and Ride
Been there a few times in the past
Camp Cost=Free

This is what it looked like when we had snow there June 2010

I wouldn't care if there was no hook ups. Just would need someplace my trailer would fit.
This sounds like fun...dry camping is fine..
We just need to be able to get a 2 wheel drive dually in and out without help from a dodge....lol
The spaces are Way-Big BroQuote:

May-be take a pre-run over there to make 100% Certain
Same issue with me as Ed.. Sounds like a fun ride though. Also the overhead clearance from the trees. My TH is around 12. 5' tall. Dry camping is good too.Quote:

I have Video of the Camping spots just have to find it
As I recall trees where not a problem, The Trees where next to hat-creek
The Camping spaces where wide open
My next trip from Mccloud to Concord I will take a de-tour though Hat Creek Camping
Try camping at the Rancheria full hook ups and you can ride right out of camp.just a thought
X2..the Ranchera is a nice place with good management and owner. .more of a resort atmosphere not like camping by the river...Not to worry Ed or anyone else..we will find the spot u need to accommodate. ..We all can discuss the ride at Castle Craigs..Would like to meet mike621..
The wife and I will be there Saturday morning [emoji6][emoji106]

Mike will u come up for the weekend? I believe I need to get a list started and trailer sizes so I can mark out our spots prior..input??? Ie: go up early
G Billy are you looking at twin bridges or potato Bute ? Twin bridges has the creek side dry camp and lots of room for the big trailers . If you say at the rancheria you will be riding burney mountain area and a lot of that burned the fire last year. And I think they are still logging in there.

Yeah best is twin bridges, potato butte is to dusty , but I like the riding there, not to big on that side of hwy 44 but if you cross the hwy there's lots to explore.

I believe twin bridges would b best for our group..I can map out spots for the bigger trailers by the creek..we could plan rides on both sides of 44..We can talk at craigs and go from there.Also wait till it cools so we can have fires

Yes twin bridges is the best spot go in to the bridge and take first road to the left about a 1/4 mile is a large area creek side. Deer season this spot fills up. There's some good riding out there I have been out there with quads and dirt bikes. Hopefully I will be healed up by this ride and I can help with it.

How's ur recovery coming..I'm sure we're several months out..I will talk with Ed on the Craigs tide tomorrow. .
I am doing good the pain is not to bad now and i am walking about a mile everyday. The doctor gave me 4 more weeks and a 10lb load limit so it won't be to much longer.

I want to go on this ride Mike MotoSX told me awhile back the riding there is spectacular! Not his exact words but that's pretty much what I got out of it.

It would b great to see u again. .I would like to meet with a few more folks that know the area to put some rides together. .then I will turn it over to EPL to lead..I like running pick up...
Got any Date yet?
I have ridden there a few times
What he said ^^
I have ridden and camped at twin bridges I can get over to potato bute from there . And there's a small sand pit on the way over to the hill climbs and race track. There's a look out to go to . And a few other spots all we had at the time was atv's and dirt bikes we need to do some more exploring out there.

I know this is your "backyard", Ed. Sounds like we should do this one whenever you are ready to lead us. Looking forward to it!Quote:
