Just moved from San Diego to Novato. Are there any 4X4 shops in the area? and where are some good camping and trails spots to go to. i was told of Loon Lake and Hollister Hills. Any others?

 

All the good stuff is out by the Sierras. BKGM is hosting a run this Saturday in that area if you're interested. I believe it's a more mild run since they've got some newbies coming along but it'll be a good opportunity to meet with others.

I'm setting up a run for 4/26 at Slick Rock. You're welcome to join but I would recommend at least skids and sliders.

There's Cow Mountain which is in Ukiah just north of you. Probably only an hour away. Looks like a similar setup to Hollister but just on the North bay-area side.

Cow Mountain Recreation Area, Ukiah Field Office, Bureau of Land Management California

There are shops in/around that area but none I have any experience with.

 

This guy is heading down to Hollister this weekend..

cool. thanks... yeah the Jeep is in San Diego at the moment ill have it up by the end of May. its been a long 4 months hahaha

 

oh man that sucks. I would go crazy!

 

Yeah... I've had to get used to a 03 honda civic... speedbumps and sidewalks are something to think about in this ride. Hahaha

 

Welcome to the area. I have a question what's worse leaving San Diego or driving the civic?
I guess you could take up street racing while you wait for your jeep lol

 

Welcome to our area!

We have a trail maintenance run the first Saturday in May. You can show up in your civic and grab a spare seat!

 

Well I lived in Kansas so I'm liking the "little weather change." As for the Civic, I can't hate too much with 40MPG. So it's not TOO bad BUT so I would say leaving SD is worse. (If I had to pick) Hahaha

 

:/ my days off are Sunday monday. But I can't wait to get up here and do a day get away and trails and camp I like the outdoors and there seems to be more options here than in SD
