XPLORx4 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Members of the Nor Cal Xterra Club are running the Sourgrass 4WD Trail off of Hwy 4 near Arnold, CA on the weekend of June 16-17. Located between Arnold and Camp Connell on Highway 4, is Boards Crossing Road which winds down to the Stanislaus River and the Sour Grass recreation area and campground. The Sour Grass 4WD trail has been adopted by the Gettin' Off 4WD Club from Milpitas, CA. The trail is approx. 2.5 miles long and rates at about 2 on a 1-4 scale. A stock T-100 made it up with a little guiding after kissing a few rocks on cross members underneath and full-sized pickups with campers have reportedly made it up. It consists of a narrow dirt road along the river bottom, with a few rocky ledges, several creek crossings and some secluded camping sites.

msavides Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I am really considering this... I have a friend of mine with a cabin just up the road. With it going to be as hot in the valley (100+) I may want to take the trip to get to a cooler climate. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoi408 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 all you need is a tent ( or you can sleep in your truck), chair, food, radio, and cloths. anything extra is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to bust out all my gear. I go on a week long camping trip every 4 of july weekend on private property up past sonora. I don't need all that crap for a 2 day trip. I have a huge tent not worth setting up. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPLORx4 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 The trip was awesome. Here's the vehicle roundup: 2001 Xterra 2005 Xterra 02 Pathy 97 Pathy 92 Pathy 96 Isuzu Trooper No carnage, except for the typical backwoods pinstriping. Everyone made it without any problems. On Sunday, Enjoi408 parked his rig and rode shotgun in my rig as we and my friend in his '01 X tackled the Slickrock trail. Slickrock is a much more advanced trail. My rear bumper got its first rock rash , but then again, that's what it's for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 SWEET! More pathy's then xterra's I wish I would have went, Slickrock would have been awesome to try. My Pathy is soon to get rock rails then I will be set to avoid the carnage. Make sure you guys let me know when another trip is planned. I am pissed I missed out. Oh Well. Mark The trip was awesome.

I would be getting another vehicle after it let me down like that. But then again that is what jeeps do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again that is what jeeps do. Yeah, it was a bummer. He had overheating problems heading up into the mountains, so he had to turn around about 5 miles from the trailhead. His Jeep (Grand Cherokee) is very capable. Fortunately, it was just the thermostat, but it did spoil his trip.
