Los Padres Overnighter

Having explored the Dome Springs area before, we decided to go there as it was close and getting late. After driving back to the campground, which is in an off highway vehicle area, we noticed a few offroaders camped off in the dry river bed as well as two cars in the campground. Being fans of solitude we picked an off highway trail and blazed back several miles and found a nice secluded area under some Pinyon Pines. With about 30 minutes of daylight left I started a fire, closely followed by cocktail hour, dinner, and an evening of stargazing!
We woke up the following day and hiked a few miles through the surrounding Badlands terrain, had a late breakfast and decided to drive out via the river bed instead of the road. The following are some pics of camp and the drive out...

Thanks Erod, the set up is definitely working out well for us.
Now if I could only get out there as much as you guys do!

I must have just missed you. I was fishing at Reyes Creek on Monday. After your previous write-up on the area I thought I'd poke around in some of the areas you had mentioned. Unfortunately as you also found out the gates are locked to many of the OHV and Forrest service trails due to snow. I ended up talking to the Ranger in Frazier Park and was told that most of the Trails on the North side of 95 were open. I ended up camping off of 9N53 in the Salt Creek area. Still a little snow but it is melting fast. Had a great view of Lockwood/Cuddey Valley. Nice Pics.

That d-cab Tundra and Hawk sure do go together. Like PB & J, or perhaps a better analogy is tequila and lemon.
I dig seeing the off-road/remote trail stuff. ..
