uuuuuhhhhh...ho lee fuk.
Don't forget that this forest is full of mischief. We have pot farmers from Mexico growing millions of dollars worth of pot up in some parts of these forest. If I remember correctly 4 million dollars worth of pot (the pull up the whole plant including the root with dirt still stuck to them, weigh it and then determines the dollar amount from that weight) was confiscated along Mill Creek but I'm not sure which part.
Mendo's big, understaffed, and underfunded so just take extra care when venturing out alone. Always let people know where you are going and when you should be back. Take a lesson from that true story/movie about that dude that had to cut his arm off because a boulder pinned his arm between a rock and a hard place (neh) and the only way he was able to survive was he had to cut his arm off with a pocket knife. You better believe he was hungry too...just kidding i don't think he ate it.
During the movie, book, actual experience he was consumed with how selfish he was like how he never returned phone calls or told anyone where he was going the day he got his arm stuck, understanding the selfishness of his acts potentially causing hurt to his family if he were to die out in the middle of the desert.

Riding Season & A Little Story About Weed
WooooooooOooo! OK I know I haven't put up any post for a while but I promise a return to writing material.
Stonyford was amazing this last weekend! By the time I had arrived a lot of the water that was keeping the dust down had vanished. Some spots were solid like in between the trees between M-10 and Lett's ridge basically.
A reminder to all of those who have their cannabis cards. Stonyford is FEDERAL LAND. That means if a ranger (FEDERAL AGENT!) finds pot in your car or on your person be sure to bring the lube too because you are going to get fucked! I'm sure you noticed I didn't mention bringing condoms which is a direct indication of the zero fucks a ranger has to give on any given day or time.
Just be smart about your game. If you're gonna bring cannabis stash that shit away from your car and dont smoke next to families. You can play legal games if they show up and have suspicion but why not just keep it behind a tree?
A game warden stopped to talk to me on my way out when I had stopped on M-10 to talk to my GF. Despite the fact we were obviously fighting he proceeded to mindlessly talk to me anyways about things I didnt care about all the while giving me the vibe that he was a sneaky sneaky piece of bacon.
Ride with caution...burn with caution...o and light fires with caution (4 more years and stony will start to look like a recovering forest...and yes yes it already is calm down)

Mendocino Fire!!
WOA! Craziness... So me and a buddy went up to Stonyford for Memorial Day weekend just with my Jeep, no bikes. Not as torturous as I thought it would be. We left Stonyford Sunday by cutting through to Upper Lake OHV by taking the OHV corridor (17N16) just so I could see where everything lead out to so when I take my bike out I wont need to worry about getting lost and or wasting gas trying to find my way back.
Anyways, along route 17N16, the OHV Corridor, you'll eventually come across the beginning of a road that runs perpendicular to 17N16 called 17N04 aka "Bartlett Springs Road"...this is the road that leads to Crab Tree Hot Springs which is of course closed because a family doesn't want random people enjoying the only hot spring in the area...hey great (dicks). If you take this road, 17N04 (Bartlett Springs Road) you'll eventually meander (and I mean meander) your way down into Indian Valley Reservoir!
Anypoo, apparently when me and my buddy were cruising along forest route 17N16 (the OHV corridor) there was a fire brewing off to our left and it was so young in its life there was no smoke we could see! The fire started along the forest route 17N04, Bartlett Springs Road from what sounds like halfway between the OHV corridor and Indian Valley Resovoir where the road becomes quite desolate and remote. It's crazy to think we almost took that way out because were were nervous about our 1/4 tank of gas getting us out fast enough. We were only deterred by the fact that there is a "road closed" sign at the beginning of 17N04 (due to keeping people away from the trail head of Crab Tree Hot Springs) and by the fact that I read a very disconcerting article about property owners booby trapping gates and "do not trespass" barriers.
One of the booby trap scenarios I read about is property owners putting up gates and digging deep enough holes on either side of the gate to swallow up any defiant OHV'er/Truck/Jeep that decides they want to see what's on the other side. This whole concept made me want to respect the "road closed" sign lol.
It really, really is a shame that the property owners have closed (and I think illegally) that section of 17N04. Had it been open me and my buddy would have cruised down that area potentially alerting authorities before the fire swallowed up 175 acres of our beloved Mendocino National Forest. This is for sure an issue I will be passing on to the USFS Grindstone District.
