    Krannie,

    Up the Kern Canyon, just short of Isabella. Black Gulch is one 4wd trail, but the area between hwy 178 and Greenhorn Mtn. to the west is commonly reffered to as Black Gulch. If one staged at Keyesville, then one could say we rode Keyesville today. But, we stage at the bottom of the Freeway Ridge trail, which bysects Black Gulch trail, so we say we did Black Gulch. Here are some pics and links,

    Print these up, thats all there is in the way of maps for that whole area. They're working on a map :roll:

    Me and Psycho could lead you around up there, paul

    Ahh, now I see. Too bad that's 168 miles from my house.
    Damn!

    It may be 168 miles away but you pack up a raft, sea doo or whatever...camp at Keyesville, do early am rides, park on lake and swim/play for day then go back to campground for evening ride. I like the single track there. It will conect you with Black Gulch. The trail is the Kern trail. I want to do more riding up there. And go see the other riding area on the other side of the lake. I foget the name of it but if it were that good I probably would remember it from hearing about it so much. I also want to ride to Isabella from Dove Springs someday.
