Camping trip to Norcal

[aetherH3]

I have a bunch of friends coming to town in a few weeks and we're going to take a trip to Norcal since none of us have ever spent any time there. We'll have open top kayaks, 4wd vehicles (Trooper and my H3), a mountainboard and a ton of other toys. The plan is to head towards Redding and just go anywhere from there. We're looking at Lassen, Shasta, Trinity Alps, the coast, anything. We're open to do some backpacking, hiking, 4x4ing, kayaking, anything really. We'll be camping the whole week but want some REALLY cool isolated camp spots and some good hikes or trails. I know there are a bunch of you from Norcal and I've only lived here for about 1.5 years and haven't really explored much. Any ideas?
