When me and munge were Projecting "Premeditated", I told him about a bivy off Aryo Seco ? Road....

I was yapping about " best spot no doubt, nice pullout, secluded" etc....

We Drove for hours, U-turn after U-turn etc.

finally found it and it had been "FILLED IN!"

We bivied in a weird spot, really spooky just above the road on a shoulder trail.

Of all of my West side bivies, I wish I had a gun on that one.

Where is this road you speak of Adam?

Always nice to have options, .9mm, .40 cal, 10 gauge.......

La Gloria road is a dirt road that crosses the mountains in a west-east direction just north of Pinnacles.  The turn off is by some ranches about 5 miles north of the East Entrance.  I have never driven it but on googles satelite imagery it looks like there are some promising roads leading off from the main road.  But I am unsure on property ownership or yahoo status.

Adam, yeah totally spaced on that and its one of those roads I always talk about driving from one side to the other. Looks like there might be some exploring to do.

I am not 100% sure but I have seen signs that say no public land or something to that effect, and I have looked at maps that seem to show the same thing.  My guess is that the road is just public acess through private land.  Looks like a interesting but tough ride on a mountain bike.

Uncle Stink IS correct. I drove out it a mile or 2 last year and there was a sign stating that.

You can go down 25 past the Pinns another 1/2 to BLM land.

It's not the climbers the locals don't like, rather the hunters....

When I hit it big, I'll buy a shack in Monterey and ya'll can stay there.

when you hit it big, can we throw my bike on top of your car and not worry about the gas mileage?

I have driven an camped on Gloria.  Know of others that have camped on Gloria.  Be prepared to be rousted by unfriendly locals.  

People have been known to get away with it by coming in late and leaving early.  But, be prepared to leave.

One scary incident down past the Pins when in the middle of the night a vehicle pulled up unloaded a half dozen rounds then drove off.

YEAH, so I think I'll pass that. Reminds me of the night I camped at RR, and/or Keough Hot Springs.

Maybe he could get a job there and be closer to the pinns.

There is BLM land, but it's another 1/2 hour down 25.

Then again, why camp, when you can get a room in Hollister. Squiddo has a favorite one that he can recommend.
