Riding/camping

[doin it in the dirt]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a decent place to ride with alot of room for campers? Something that is not going to cost alot, and not give alot of issues when it comes to riding. We are getting married on the trail and want to host a huge camping trip/wedding party out there, and have a few ideas, but not sure on if there are more out there or not. Any ideas that you have or contributions to this occassion would be greatly appriciated, thank you very much!!!

his popo was doing better then mine, when we stopped that afternoon for a quick lunch ( while you were making soup on the trail lol) mine quad was already on 1 bar, 10 min later and it was blinking at me, im still amazed that i didnt run out until we got back to gravel.

The bluff is a nice spot. As far as marble mountain. It's all in crackadooin's head. No such place or at least he was lost again.

Lol Larry thats the same place i recommended the tower is the baseline firewatch, there is a newer station and the older one, the new one is simple to get to its pretty much a jagged goat road all the way to the top, the old one is a little more tricky near the top, maybe not the best for inexperienced riders.

If you are looking for something that everybody could get to, not just us die hards, there is a nice campground in the Stanger Hills at an elk ranch that caters to quads. Nice trails, good campsite, zip line.

Might want to check that out.

i'm thinkin we are talkin 2 different places your talking baseline towers 30 km west of prarie creek campground, the meadows is up the north fork road 30 + kms. before the prarie creek campground, at the ram tower.
