Looks like fun. The Chappie-Shasta area is a favorite of mine.

yea well we were going down not up and the pictures don't do it justice
i was sitting on my quad taking pictures and winching mike down
the boulder where as big as the quads and they where loose
i pretty much slid about half way down the hill i know i was thiking the same thing when i pulled out the winch but what you can see is the ledge that i am up againest is about 31/2 feet straight up and down
i will say is nothing like helldordo video i watch of you guys
but is alot harder then it looks imgine being on a slip and slide of rocks
and comming acros huge ledges alog the way

Ken, did you not notice, they're riding H O N D A 's.
j/k Roon, that's a long standing joke here on ATVO. Just bustin your chops a little. That area looks pretty cool, how long did it take you to get there? Is there any camping around there?

yea is about an hour and a half from woodland and yes there is a camp ground but there is a catch to that
to camp you half to cross the dam and you need a permit once you get is
good for the hole year but in order to trailer to the camp ground
you half cros the the dam
