Boca Reservoir July 9th and 10th

[jmac #97]

Started out from the campground and went north on the main paved road. traveled a short distance to the forest road and went west on a trail that lead over boca hill to prosser reservoir. this trail was big enough for a razr or something similar...very easy to ride accept one section got pretty rocky...have your skid plates on....got to prosser and had to take the dam road across the the ohv area...this place has two tracks...pretty nice tracks for a national forest ride area...good place for the kids or beginner rider...some private property near by so just be aware....

went back across the dam road and headed north along a forest road which will take you back to Boca...before we got to boca, we made it to an intersection that is posted 7 miles to stamped reservoir...we took a road to the north and branched off onto some trials that continued north to a large valley that sits between boca and stamped.....rode north of the valley ...some of these trails got tight but passable by quad not sideXside....rode back to camp for a total of about 40 miles.....had a great time...

we went back out with the kids and took the forest road to prosser....we rode the track that area for a bit....while there, a lightening storm hit...it was pretty cool to see lighting strike while riding...it cooled us off and kept the dust down....we took the trail over boca hill.....the rocky section slowed the beginner riders down a bit...

Today we got up and rode all the way to stamped....took some of the same trails we rode the day before and found a few new ones. alot of these trails got pretty narrow..with some good switch backs...there was a pretty cool down hill section that makes a nice hard turn to the left at the bottom...if you don't make the turn you go through a barbed wire fence and head towards a river....the way back up that hill was fun....ended up riding another 40 or so miles....

when we stopped at stamped, i found my right ball joint was coming apart on the lower a-arm....the ride back was nerve wracking to say the least.

we ran into one other group riding about 5 riders....

when we went to prosser with the kids, there were two deputies there..i thought we were going to get jammed up for riding on the paved road across the dam...they just gave us a wave...the camp host said they usually just make sure u have all your safety gear and spark arrestor.

my buddy had his gps....i strongly recommend at least one person in your group having one or a map.....this is a large area that you could very easily get lost in...i have pics i will post up in a bit

Urclever your on the board or something hear put a ride together it will be good times, there is something for everyone. jmac #97 did I understand you to say that you guy's rode a Quad on the road and the two deputies were cool with it ? I am planning to visit the area in late Augest or early September when the fishing is better and the heat is reduced. Like I told Bounty Hunter I will bring my fishing boat and we can fish in the morning, ride in the day, swim in the late afternoon, have a cocktail, eat fresh trout for dinner and have more cocktails I think i found Paridise.

I will talk to RW and see if we can do it in the first part of September! I am excited for this place! Either way I will schedule it to see when everyone is available! What type of fish is in the lake???

Boca and Prosser have Rainbow and Brown trout but Stampede is full of Konkani Salmon as well. The camping at Stampede is also good but I have no Idea about you guy's with the rolling houses.
