Kings River From kern

On Saturday 5/24/2011 we continued our journey to bring the trailer back home.  We broke camp (at Kern River - See prior post) around 9:30am and started our journey, while we were supposed to be going north and through hwy 195 to Springville....that road was closed.

Our stupid GPS (Never buy Delorme GPS for your PC...worst tool ever) decided that it wouldn't recognize Hot Springs Road, hence we had to backtrack and go the route you see below...but at least it was scenic!

Regardless we finally Got out of Kern and headed up north to the trail that would take us from hwy 180 to the Kings River. Overall the trail was not to terrible. It was fairly rutted out, but all in all I would rate it a 3 (out of 10) and only due to the fact that we had to get into 4WD because some of the ruts were still very wet and I had to back up once.  Map of trail:
