Anyone from NorCAl been to Cisco Grove?

[mellowyellow]

A buddy of mine lives near there and wants to go camping for Labor Day weekend. I can find tons of info on the campgrounds, but nothing about the riding.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. It's a 3+ hour drive and I don't wanna get there and find out the trails suck! I'll post up after the trip and let you know if your buddy is right. Bitchen is pretty high praise!

Never been there, but here's what I can find on it.

REGION: Stanislaus National Forest TITLE: Black Springs OHV Area

NOTES: Southeast of Sacramento and northeast of Arnold, the Black Springs OHV network on the north side of Highway 4 is the main OHV riding area on the Calaveras Ranger District. With over 100 miles of connecting roads and trails, there is enjoyable riding for all levels and types of OHV users, including 4WD, ATVs and motorcycles.

To reach the trailhead from Stockton off US5, head east on SR4 through Farmington, Angel Camp and Arnold. The trailhead is 28 miles northeast of Arnold.

Important: before riding this trail area, make sure to contact the local land manager regarding current registration, equipment and gear requirements. Also, verify open/closure dates and times.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: SNF (209) 795-1381; CA Tourism (800) GO-CALIF.

Yeah, I've just about memorized that blurb from the SNF website looking for information. Well being the "main OHV riding area of the Calaveras Ranger District" it can't be that bad can it? I guess I'll know in a couple of days.

Well, my buddy that lives by Cisco Grove went there without us. They wanted $36 a night to camp with a 3 night minimum cause of the holiday. He turned around and left. We on the other hand had a great time at Black Springs. That place is HUGE! Camp grounds were nothing special but the riding was epic. Miles and miles of fast smooth fire roads, rocky hill climbs and everything in between. Hardly anyone out there either. Would definately recomend it!

Let's see some pics!

[mellowyellow]

The new avatar pic is from there. I'll try and post some more when I get home from work.

[Stoopidbot1]

[mellowyellow]

Did I mention it was rocky?

Looks like a lot of fun. You should add that area to the trail section if you haven't yet.

No worries. Next trip, I'll post up and let you know. What do you mean "on leave"? Are you millitary?

Yeah, he serves our country. Hey Joe, I haven't said it yet, but thanks for all you do for us.

Ditto for me. I'd be honored to have you come ride with our group.

[joet82]

Thnx guys. I do my part. Next deployment for me will be to one of the 2 war zones. they haven't told us yet, and we probably won't know for sure till a month before we leave. lol

But ya, any time anybody wants to ride in SoCal, let me know. I'll see if a weekend is free, and i have the money to spare for gas. Central Cali, SONevada and AZ will need a long weekend, or Leave...but I can go anywhere in the west with that depending on how long my leave is, and of course gas money.
