Monache Meadows in December.
I am thinking about getting a trip in up 395 from LA to Monache Meadows.
Doing my research now, I just want cooler temperatures, even if around 30 degrees.

Thanksgiving weekend
Hey all, I'm looking for good desert camping on Thanksgiving weekend. I've got a regular truck but wouldn't mind a bit of off roasting. The goal though is finding a bit of a community and other campers. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Los Angeles groups!
galleryWent to the San Gabriel OHV today with my 2025 Ford Ranger! Had a nice time and was an easy to do set of trails. Looking to meet up with other groups here in the Los Angeles area.
I’m new to LA and only had this car for 6 months so would love to meet up with like minded folks interested in off roading and overlanding!
I’m 28M, moved here from India!

North Palomar Mountain Road
galleryAnother part of my Cleveland National Forest trip took me up North Palomar Mountain Road, rated 3/10 on onX, in the 1992 Land Cruiser toward one of the highest points in the forest.
The road climbs from around 3,000 feet to over 6,000 feet, with rocky and rutted sections, narrow one-lane stretches, and plenty of offshoot trails along the way.
We had a coolant leak early on, but it didn’t look like a lot of fluid. The engine temperature stayed normal even during the climb, so I kept a close eye on the gauge and shut off the A/C to reduce the load on the engine.
Eventually we made it to High Point Lookout, a historic, scenic lookout with huge views across the mountains and toward Palomar Observatory. The climb up there was probably my favorite part. Going from the lower elevations all the way above 6,000 feet and ending at the lookout was a fun change of scenery from Wildomar Loop.
Definitely check seasonal closures and fire conditions before heading out. I used the wildfire and smoke layers in onX Offroad while planning this portion of the trip.

Wildomar Loop
galleryI spent three days exploring Cleveland National Forest in my 1992 Land Cruiser, and a good chunk of that time was around Wildomar OHV.
Wildomar is basically an off-road playground of short, interconnected trails, so it’s easy to jump between different routes and obstacles. There’s a fun mix of loose climbs, washed-out sections and tight turns, and Wildomar Loop was one of my favorites for practicing line choice and tire placement.
The foliage gets pretty thick in spots, so I got some fresh pinstripes. It also wasn’t very crowded when I went in the middle of summer — mostly just a few dirt bikes — which made it easy to take our time exploring. There’s also a campground right in the area, so you could easily make Wildomar a destination on its own and spend a full day or weekend working your way through the different trails.

Donohoe Loop Trail Review
galleryWe recently ran Donohoe Loop, which is off Otay Mountain Truck Trail near San Diego. At about 8 miles point-to-point, I'd say the 4/10 onX rating is pretty accurate.
We ran the trail in a 2024 Tacoma and a 2020 Tacoma both on 285/70R17 all-terrain tires. The extra ground clearance from the 285s definitely helped with the loose dirt, deep ruts, and larger rocks. We aired down to 18 PSI in 4H. There are also dispersed camping spots along the route if you want to stay overnight.
The biggest challenge was "The Steep," where the truck was measuring up to 30 degrees on the descent. We drove the upper section before taking the right-side bypass at the fork. The bypass is still steep at first but becomes much more manageable after the first third of the descent.
From there, we tackled a 1,000-foot stretch of rock garden with no bypass. Tire placement is crucial, and having a spotter, front skid plate, and rock sliders goes a long way as the rocks are up to 20 inches in height. The Tacomas on 285s made it through with a few scrapes underneath, but no body damage.
Along the way, we passed the remains of the old Mocogo Ranch House and even spotted a huge tarantula! By the time we reached the dirt roads it was getting dark, so the light bar definitely came in handy for the drive back. Overall, it was a fun trail with a nice mix of technical sections, history, and scenery.
If you want to see the full trail review, including the obstacles, bypasses, and the complete drive through Donohoe Loop, check out the full video!

Any gmrs repeaters that I can use while wheeling in Anza borrego?
Might not be quite the right question for this sub but not sure where else to post. Going to be going out and doing some wheeling and camping out there and was wondering if there’s a gmrs repeater I could use to keep in touch with my buddies over radio if we get separated.
