+TheLoneGrangers Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The wife and I are planning a trip from South Carolina to California We will be gone for 30 days. Plan on leaving on June 14th or 15th, we also plan on going up to Kansas to grab Mingo. We are stopping in Moab for a couple days. I own a jeep wrangler JK and plan on doing some wheeling in Moab and in Las Vegas area and in the SoCal area. Im looking for anyone willing to trail ride with me as I will be alone. I'm on the novice side of wheeling, but I know enough to stay out of trouble. If anyone out there is willing let me know. Also if anyone has any recommendations on where to wheel, or caches not to be passed up 4wheeling or not please share, I might have missed something! Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Have you thought about visiting the Toroweap Overlook during your trip? 60 miles from the nearest polygamists in Colorada City. 3000 feet straight above the Colorado River. The classic view of the Grand Canyoh. If you want, you could camp overnight, for the light shortly after dawn or before dusk. The One GIant Step virtual (GC7D60) is there, and there are other caches on the way in or nearby. It is a bucket list type of experience. Quote Link to comment
+TheLoneGrangers Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 thanks for the idea geodarts. I will check it out. Quote Link to comment
+Royal_TartToter Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 When you hit california, you should go up PCH and get to Will Rogers State Park, GREAT VIEWS of the ocean, great hiking, and best of all......... TONS OF CACHES! really cool place! Quote Link to comment
BlueRajah Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) If you are heading to Moab area you might considers a swing up to get GC3B Potters Ponds. It is one of three for the Jasmer month of August. It is about three hours from Moab to get there. Edited April 23, 2013 by BlueRajah Quote Link to comment
+karstic Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hit me up for some 4 wheel caching in the SoCal mountains. How built is your rig and are you afraid of pinstriping? Quote Link to comment

+Lieblweb Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Sounds like a great trip! I was in Moab many many years ago (15 years ago) .... and I wouldn't advise going alone anywhere when you go wheelin. Pick your trails wisely according to your jeeps capabilities (and your gear). Keep is light...and easy. The last thing you want is dealing with breakdown while on vacation. I remember a trail called 'Chickens Corners' that was a dirt road in/around the area (very beautiful). Doable in any 4WD vehicle / stock friendly. Here's a website about it http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/recreation/motorized_routes/chicken_corners_trail.html Good Luck and take lots of photos!
