Car Forum / Jeep / March 2004Calico information needed
I went out to Calico this weekend and hooked up with a bunch of guys and had a blast!! This was my first time out there. I was wondering if anyone had a map of the trails there. Thanks in advance Shamus 80 CJ-5 SAO do 30 front do 40 rear bead locks +++ Not very detailed: http://offroute.com/geofinder/fs_geographic-finder.asp?lat=34.9488888888889&lon= -116.864166666667&zoom=40 And with a book sale site: http://www.4x4books.com/gtcas.htm Some members of this group's pictures: http://www.jjournal.net/jeep/features/NGCalicoRun/ and: http://www2.real-jeeps.com/HTML/Jeep_Runs/jeep_run.htm and: http://members.aol.com/justrichie/jeep/index.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > I went out to Calico this weekend and hooked up with a bunch of guys and had > a blast!!

They make one for Calico, and many other areas. Try sidekick.com as a start. Then try OffRoad Warehouse and 4WheelParts Wholesalers as a second, and third, place to start.

One thing I've noticed about Sidekick's maps... they're not very good. I ordered several at once and found they were basically too general in nature and too lacking in detailed to use to navigate through such complex trail areas like are found at Calico and Los Coyotes Indian Reservation. They're basically now sitting unused in my map pouch. Much better and worth the $$ is a book called "Guide to Southern California Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" by Charles A. Wells. Do a search for it on the Internet and you'll find several sources for it. It's by far the most complete and most detailed book on trails with realistic descriptions on their difficulty, excellent maps, GPS coordinates, and even photos of most trails. There's no trail I'm aware of that is not well documented in this book, including all of the Calico trails. I highly recommend it. :) Jerry -- Jerry Bransford To email, remove 'me' from my email address N6TAY, PP-ASEL See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ > There is an outfit called Sidekick that makes a series of offroading maps. > They make one for Calico, and many other areas.

I thought they were a little vague as well, but I thought it was just me. I like the format and the paper stock, but I guess I haven't really used them to navigate anywhere. Perhaps they serve well as a "overview" of an area, but fall short of actually helping one become un-lost. > One thing I've noticed about Sidekick's maps... they're not very good.
