Overlanding Recommendations NorCal

[The Tumbler]

We now have a great camping setup with a Vintage Overland XTR trailer and I am looking for help and advice on great places to overland in northern CA. Been car camping tons of times at popular camp sites but hoping for recommendations for more remote areas that are logistically possible with charging on the way in and out.

Any help appreciated!

I would recommend the 'Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout'

Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout Hike: A Historic Lookout & Crazy Stairs

Actually, the Look out from the previous posting might be more toward the Lake Tahoe.

I was thinking in fact about: The Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness, California

For Prewitt Ridge, did you charge up in King City? Were you able to get there with substantial battery to keep you for a few days with vampire drain and use and get you back to King City SC?

thanks!

Yes, a round trip from King City (The return trip is downhill) should use less than 50% with mud tires. So if you start at 100% in King City, you should have around 50% remaining for camping. Hope this helps!

Mud tires? So the cyber wheels will not cut it then? Thanks

I can confirm they will cut it just fine. I just went and enjoyed Prewitt Ridge last week.
