Now that winter is upon us, let's try hiking a few fire roads within our mountains surrounding Oakhurst. If you check our local map, there are many forgotten roads leading into remote areas only minutes from our down town area.
The other day Fred Cochran and I decided to hike from the forestry gate at Road 223 and the unpaved Thornberry Road. Then trek across Thornberry Mountain toward Mudge Ranch. If time would permit, follow toward the forest gate along Veater Ranch Road in the Coarsegold area. Note: Be sure and get permission to cross the Veater Ranch property.
