any good dirt roads around here?

because i have a Subaru, naturally am not afraid to get dirty! so does anybody know any windy dirt roads to rally it up on? nothing private unless its easy to get away with it. tired of going to praire city cause there is only so much you can do there. i love all rally type roads. like real stage type stuff. so let me know!

thanks

By "easy to get away with it" do you mean it will take a long time for the owners to finally catch and beat the crap out of you?

hahaha I'm just kidding

I don't know of any roads unfortunately
My car can barely clear some of the speed bumps around here, so going off road it would last all of 2 seconds

Try the road from Weimar to Foresthill. It goes over (I think) the north fork of the American river. Be careful , in some places it is a long way to the bottom of the canyon.

Take 80 east to Canyon Way (just past Weimar) to Yankee Jims road. Take Yankee Jims all the way to Forest Hill. You can take 49 home. Have fun!

You want a dirt road that can be a little challenging this time of year? Try this... Dutch Flat to 20 via Diggins Hill to Lowell Hill Rd. It's been a while since I've been up there, but I'm thinking of checking out the route in my Jeep while checking in on my wife's & my property up that way. The wife says there are ditches & ruts along the road, but I'm not sure because we usually just go in and out via Dutch Flat and don't take Lowell Hill all the way through... and we usually take a Suburban.

went out exploring a little around the shingle springs area last night. i went down pandorosa rd. and connected to lotus. went down some crazy little roads off that. so much fun!! if you get far enough back in the hills there are some small as roads that are a blasty blast to jam on. true rally material. subaru country for sure. and at the end of some road named jacks eighty it turned into dirt and i ran into a creek but i was to scared to cross it because i didnt know how deep it was and it was pitch black and pouring. also went on a cool little road named Thompson hill. there is a fallen down tree every few 100 feet so its extra fun weaving in and out of them and than one hair pin after another

i have not been up to dutch flat or forest hill yet but thats next if anyone wants to go explorin let me know. i can do it all day!
