ATV from 5Mile OHV to Little Sahara?
I'm thinking about making this trip (just for fun) on Friday.
Starting at the South/West staging area, ride straight south along the West side of the Tintic Mountains, drop down into Eureka (fuel up), cross US6, bank west and catch what appears to be a dirt road at N 39 55.417 W 112 9.956 and follow that all the way in.
I anticipate about 200 mile round trip and would take two extra 4gal Kolpin flat packs.
Anybody try this yet?
Edited to add: fourtycal: I picked up a second clutch belt, new tow cable and heated hand grips - so I shouldn't be needing a tow unless I blow my engine (AGAIN!)

That trip sounds like a blast. I'll be heading south for the weekend but I'm looking forward to a report. Have fun out there!

Never done it on a quad but we do it on 4x4's on occasion. Lots of different routes to take, Allen Ranch Rd, the old railroad grade, south past Vernon Reservoir, Desert Mtn, etc. Wish I could join you!

Well, I got to 5Mile pass this morning around 0845. Loaded up the ATV and started to gear up. Discovered that I forgot my jacket at home!
Luckily, I had a hoodie sweat shirt in the back of the truck, so I could at least ride around and only freeze "a little". Temperature was just barely 35F. Discovered some awesome canyons and hidden trails about 5 miles south of the staging area.
I may make another go at this on Saturday!
