Feather River Canyon (NorCal) March 25-26
I'm heading to Feather River Canyon for a little wheeling, some camping, and some railfanning! Let me know if you're interested! I'll be there Friday and Saturday but you're welcome to stay longer.

Fun trip and a very cool area. 3 rigs, 6 people. Pictures here.
My buddy is planning a week long trip up there to explore some more.
Friday
Ryan and Myself in my 4Runner departed Walnut Creek at 7:15am.
Arrived in Oreville at 10:30am.
Wheeled all day.
Returned to camp.
Built a fire.... and an oven while waiting for the other rigs to come. (We brought chicken and I didn't have my skillet with me so my friend built an oven. That was some of the best chicken I've ever had..... no really, it was.)
Saturday
Other vehicle arrived at 1:00am.
Watched some trains run through the tunnel.
Stopped in Quincy for Lunch and gas.
Played in the snow.
Explored some more forest service roads.
Left for home around 4pm.
Found a "Pavement Ends Sign" on a levee road.... turned into a dirt levee road....
Stopped in Antioch to visit with a friend.
Watched some trains run a bridge in Martinez.
Sleep at 3:00am.
We all got stuck in the snow once. We had a shovel and chains, but didn't end up using them.

You guys are welcome to join us which ever days you can!
Tofer - I have to swing by Sonoma State to pick up my girlfriend before I head up there.
gapguy - FYI: We're going to leave to head home around 7pm on Sunday.
I'll post GPS coordinates in a few minutes with a map of where to meet up.

Ok, Camp is here: N39 46.153 W121 27.523. These coordinates will get you within 0.2 miles from the highway.
DeLorme Nor Cal Atlas Page 68 - B3.
Map:
The blue line is the approximate place the trail starts. There is a turn-out on HWY 70 - There is a high voltage power pole and two trails. The right one has a chain across it, the left (hidden behind the power pole burm) is the trail you're looking for.

Hey Steve, I guess I'll chime in here. Im thinking that i will probably go. I have a buddy with an Xterra that wanted to go but I think he might just ride with me. Im definitely in if I can get my clutch in. Maybe we could meet up somewhere and I will follow?
