Off Roading in CA

Why the hell is it soo hard to find anywhere to go out and play here in god forsaken CA, i mean seriously, no dirt roads or anything that i can find, at least near me, about all i can do is go tear up some guys field or something.

Wow, where do you live in CA?  You are the very FIRST person I have ever heard about not being able to find a spot to go wheeling in California.  I lived there for most of my life and never had to search to find a spot to go wheeling, while doing it in a responsible manner of course.  

yeah.... i'm stationed at Travis AFB and there aint crap around here except for a few random feilds, i know theres trails around sac but i drive a 78 Blazer with a built 350 and can't really afford to drive that far.

There are TONS of trails and TONS of public land in California, probably more than any other state. You must not be trying real hard to find something.

You're going to have to drive a little since you live in the city, but heck Hollister Hills SVRA, one of the states largest is only about two hours from you. Or the Rubicon of all things is about the same, two or three hours away.

yeah... i know of the rubicon, and looked up hollister hills, the thing is, when me and my buddies load up to go 4 wheeling, if we gotta drive 2 hours we wont even want to do anything when we get there, theres gotta be something closer, i just cant find it

hey i've been having the same problem in santa rosa but i havent taken the time or gas money to just go out and look for something.im used to driving only a few minutes to go muddin not 2 hours too...if you find something that is closer this way or near napa even you should post something about it or let me know

i know right, im used to just pulling out of my drive way and im mudding already, and i honestly dont have the patience or money to drive for 2 hours and prolly end up having to pay to play in the mud for and hour or so and just turn around and drive another 2 hours to get home, and besides that, all the places around here are right on  the edge of my limit cause i gotta be back on base inside of 2 hours if i get called.  
[><]If parts aint flyin, you aint tryin[><]

oh *** ya and if you got stuck right when you were called in....not good.yup the city sucks.its been several months since my truck has seen any dirt besides my driveway.ya the only way i'd drive 2 hours to go wheelin is if im staying there for a couple days

yeah... and like i said before, u gotta get up early, get your stuff together, call the guys, wait for them to get ready, and even then, by the time you get there you just want the day to end, wheelin should be fun, not seem like a chore, and even then, im not really in the city, theres feilds galore out here, even hills, just can's use any of it  
[><]If parts aint flyin, you aint tryin[><]

ya that just makes a trip pretty pointless especially if its a place where there are a ton of other people.who says you cant use them? haha well all i have now is a small field which is made even smaller by a dirtbike track so i could put a little mud pit out there probably

Guys, you are complaining about having to wait for buddies, then drive for 2 hours and possibly not be interested in doing anything when you get there?  First of all, if all you want to do is find a mud hole, then just wait for winter, it's almost here and then you can get stuck 5 minutes from your house and feel much better about not driving 2 hours away to do it.  Secondly, if you want to rock crawl, without having to drive 2 hours to do it, MOVE TO THE MOUNTAINS!  It's as easy as looking at a map.  If you are looking for pity because you live in the city, you will not find it here.  I do admire your service, and appreciate your sacrifice, but get real.  There are trade offs to four wheeling and going to the places we all love.  In my opinion, getting a group of people together, even though you may have to wait a little longer on them, is half the fun of wheeling anyway.  Getting together with people who all share such a huge common interest is always a very rewarding experience.  At least it has been for me.
