Thumbs up Hungry Valley - Meet & Greet and BBQ - 01.12.13

Hungry Valley SVRA, which is near Gorman, California, is the second largest OHV area in Cali. It has over 150 miles of off-road trails. But, better yet, it has an awesome off-road practice area that has runs from very mild to wild. If you have never had your Jeep out on a trail, this is a great place to test your skills without the worry of being stuck miles from help. If you have a highly-modified rig, you can also be challenged.

We will have a meet & greet and BBQ on Saturday, January 12th, and everyone is welcome. From stock rigs to highly modified, everyone will have fun. You can just watch, or participate - it is up to you. Vince and I will be providing hamburgers and hotdogs for everyone who wants to join us, but it would be great if others can bring some side dishes like potato salad, chips, etc. Please bring your own beverages.

This will be a very family-friendly get-to-gether, so please bring the whole family. Please let us know how many people will be coming in your rig so we know how many mouths we need to feed!

Time:
We plan to get there at 11:00 a.m. and staying until around 3:00 p.m.; but feel free to come any time you like.

Facilities:
Yes, there are bathrooms! There are also sheltered areas, and we will be bringing BBQ grilles. There are some picnic tables, but they are limited, so you should probably bring your own chairs.

Directions:
In Gorman, 60 miles north of Los Angeles and 55 miles south of Bakersfield.

Traveling North on Interstate 5, exit at Smokey Bear Road. At the bottom of the off ramp take a left at the stop sign traveling under the freeway. At the next stop sign, make a left on Pyramid Lake Road and an immediate right onto Hungry Valley Road which is dirt. You will see a brown sign for Hungry Valley SVRA.

Traveling South on Interstate 5, take the Gorman Exit. Turn right at the bottom of the off ramp, then another right onto Peace Valley Road. The entrance to the park is one mile north on Peace Valley Road.

We will be meeting at the Aliklik Campground and picnic area, which is located at these gps coordinates: 34.723035,-118.863503

Cost: Nothing to join us and eat, but the SVRA charges $5 per vehicle to get in.

Let us know if you want to join us! More details coming soon.

Here are some pics of BEAST going through the play area at Hungry Valley (but, these are the hard sections of the play area - there are sections for completely stock rigs all the way up to highly modified - you can run whatever you feel comfortable with).

Here are a few more pics of the Hungry Valley play area. As you can see, there are some much tamer areas to run if you are closer to stock:
