SOCAL, Big Bear day run, Gold Mtn. and John Bull.

Planning on running Gold Mountain and John bull with a friend on Sunday the 14th.
Minimum requirements: 32's, sliders, 1 Diff locker. Body damage is possible.

What to bring: Jacket in case it gets cold, lunch, water, and a good attitude.

I'm thinking we'll meet somewhere in Big Bear around 9:00 am and hit gold mountain trail head to air down and be on our way by 9:30-9:45.

I'll add some pictures and more info on the trails later, but I just wanted to get the word out.

Hope to see you there.

Update---------

I'm thinking we can plan to be at the Gold Mountain trail head at 9:30AM. We will air down and depart by 9:45 or 10AM Sharp.

In case no one knows, here is the link to the trail head.

3N34 is Dishpan Springs. So no.

We will be doing Gold Mountain (3N69) and John Bull (3N10). 3N16 Connects the two trails.

I doubt Alice will be coming out for just a day run.
