I put in some extra hours this week at work and will be departing the Sacramento area around noon tomorrow (Friday). This will allow us to travel a bit further if desired and avoid local traffic. Saw this place... https://ioverlander.com/places/215546-joshua-tree-hideaway About an hour from...

Likewise! Also Roberto, I believe hwy 120 is closed between Benton Crossing and Mono mills. There is the CCT OTG seg1 route that traverses that direction through Inyo NF but could be inaccessible due to snow drifts. I might be in the area this weekend and can report back. I also know of some...

This sounds great, we should be leaving the Sacramento area around 3pm. I believe Andreas stayed near Cima road the last time we did (or tried to do) an informal OTG meet-up. The famous snow in the desert photo/trip. I think is was at the place we had lunch on the last full day of the EMHT trip...

Otto and I are in!

Unfortunately something came up and we will not be joining in. Looking forward to the next adventure!

Thank you for the info. Do you think the beaches/Campos will be crowded further south during the holidays, not a lot of population centers in central BC. I figure SF will be super busy and really plan on avoiding it regardless (except for getting fresh groceries there) and heading to Gonzaga to...

Happy 2023 fellow OTG'ers! I am hoping 2023 is full of epic overland adventures and hope to share some of these experiences with you. During these once in a generation CA winter events, I can not help but ponder winter/early spring overlanding options. We just got back from the KOFA NWR between...

No worries Andreas. Weather is looking like it will limit the options. The Kofa trail might be the choice. We should all chat about a Baja trip sometime in 2023 as it will take some planning ahead. We were debating on heading down there this break but would prefer to go as a group, at least for...

I have to work next week unfortunately. My family and I are thinking of possibly doing something the week between Xmas and new year. What area/route are you thinking?

Thank you all for an amazing trip. Big thanks to Ben for facilitating and leading. It was an honor meeting and adventuring with you all. I dropped Otto off at school today; he immediately started bragging to his friends about it! We can't wait for the next trip. EPIC TRIP!!

We have departed the greater Sacramento area (Roseville) and heading south. Woohoo!

The Rasor rd. location is fine for us. Thanks for the fuel tip, we will fill up in Barstow and top off in the morning if needed. Also, I assume we will need/have opportunities to refuel during the trip. I will bringing my Jerry can (5gal) but just wondering if we will be able to grab extra...

I am open to either. I guess it is a tradeoff; shorter drive for us norcal travelers or more time in the morning. The second spot looks like a nicer location but pretty far off hwy. Also, I would like to add my satellite communicator # (text) for reference just in case: +18437382043. I want to...

This looks like a decent location. We will be joining you and checking for any updates regarding the spot (thanks @Walnut). Like Ben, we will be departing the Sacramento area between noon and 1pm with a 10ish ETA. Probably pop up the GFC and crash after the drive.

Thanks Ben! Really looking forward to adventuring with you all! My son Otto (6) is exited to overland with folks other than his parents. My truck and equipment meets the requisites. We will see you there!

I hope you guys have an epic and safe trip! My son and I will be in the area doing some exploring so maybe our paths will cross. Thank you Ben for uploading the gpx to the website! Hopefully we will make one of these group trips; I support limiting the groups size to reduce the...

This seems like an awesome trail adventure opportunity. Is there a way to join the waiting list for this trip? I have been unable to join previous group trips due to schedule conflicts. My son and I would be honored to join the group if a spot opens up...

I am definitely interested in the development and participating in the ultimate OTG California route. I wish I would have know about this request. My family and I completed a trip recently (Memorial weekend) that started at Frenchmeadows Reservoir and ended in the Inyo NF just south of Mono. We...

Hello All, My name is Mike from Sacramento CA. We have a gen1 Tacoma setup for functional overland camping. My family and I have been using OTG for over a year and completed ~1k miles of dirt trails. I would like to give a big THANKS to @OTG Ben for creating and managing this site/forum. Having...
