OK guys, I was talking to Jon and Carlos about an Anza Borrego run during this time frame but the temperatures AB are already in the low 100's, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> so I decided to move the run to Big Bear instead. Should be about 2 hours closer to the guys in the north as well. Anyways, the plan is to meet up Friday night (18th) or early morning Sat(19th) at the Crab flats campground(provided spots are available). Wheeling sat and sun, heading home sunday evening. Temps in Big Bear are currently in the low 70's in the day and down to the mid 30's at night. Wood is usually available at the camground for a fee so bring some if you have it. Last time I was there the camground boss had no problem with 2 vehicles per campsite so doubling up is ussually not a problem on the campsites.
Trails in this area range from easy to very difficult. The Plan is to run the more difficult selection of trails including but not limited to Gold Mountain, John Bull, Holcolm Creek, and Dishpan Springs. There are a couple other unamed Black Diamond (Most Difficult) Trails that I want to run as well. 31's on a Short wheelbase and 33's minimum on a LWB are strongly reccomended to avoid body damage. Some sort of traction aid in the rear axle will help as well.
I know its short notice but just wanted to make sure I threw it out there for anyone who wants to go. So far its Me and Jon..In the meantime I'll post of a few pics of the last run to give you an Idea of the trails. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
