Thanks, I have a Tripltek 7 tablet mounted to my handlebars where I run the drone app and as well as OnX Offroad for navigation. I also carry a Garmin InReach mini as a satellite communicator, and it also tracks my ride.
Two and a half weeks ago, just before the storm came, in fact I had to cut my trip short. Planning to go back in a couple of weeks to film some more. This is a good park for this time of the year, not as wet as up here. 😀
I've never off roaded before. Years ago I rode street bikes for about 15 years or so, did some road race track days as well. I don't even have a bike anymore. If I wanted to try out off road dirt biking is there a place in the bay area I can rent a bike and gear as a beginner and just take it easy to see if I like it?
I am not aware of any place that rents dirt bikes, but garrahanoffroadtraining.com/ offers lessons and they can provide you with a dirt bike for an additional fee, which I would recommend you do to see if you really want to get into the sport. If you decide that you want to do it, consider purchasing a dirt bike with a low height seat, e.g., Kawasaki 230cc, unless you are a tall person. It will accelerate the learning curve. Another option to consider is to start with the new Surron Ultra Bee electric dirt bike, . Best of lucks!
