New Years Eve Overnighter
#1

Took off on NYE with the little woman to the Lockwood Valley area of the Los Padres Nat'l Forest for an overnighter. Explored a few areas I'd never been to along the way to our final destination...
Pic 1: The OHV trail near Dome Springs
Pic 2: The West Frazier Mine OHV Road
Pic 3: Near Miller Jeep Trail Head
Pic 4: Water Crossing to Halfmoon/Mutau Flats
Pic 5: Camped for the night at Thorn Meadows
Most of this area had been burned severely by the Day Fire a year ago. Nice to see some new growth setting in. Didn't see a soul in any of the campgrounds, a beautiful night but cold, I'd say prolly in mid 20's, but nice and cozy in the Hawk!! Hope you enjoy.
Happy 2008 Everybody.

I hadn't been back there in awhile either, used to backpack out of Halfmoon area down to the Sespe as a kid. Definitely a fun drive. Pics never seem to do it justice. Attaching a few more of the Miller Jeep Trail, about 10 mile East as the crow flys of where we camped...I opted out of this one solo.

Your Rig is looking quite at home out there. Thanks for the write up and nice Pics. Did you enter through Frazier Park ??? How many miles was that from the concrete jungle. Looking to make a trip like that real soon.
Thanks,
Marc

Yes, entered on the Frazier Park side, we came in from HWY 33, but it's roughly about the same distance from HWY 5. It took me 2 hours to get home without too much screwing around, HWY 33 is a VERY curvy road. Wasn't really keeping track but I'd guess ~90-100 miles from Oxnard/Ventura.
