Big Bear Memorial Day weekend run...May 26-27!!

I will be up in the Big Bear area for Memorial Day weekend (May 26-27) with my family and would like to do some wheeling.

Anybody wanna go??

Meeting time will be 9:30 on Sun the 27th. We will meet in Arrowbear at the gas station across from the car wash (there is only 1 car wash) We will leave there and follow 3N16 up to Holcomb Creek. Depending on how things go, we will do Holcomb Creek and John Bull trails. Both will require 4x4, and I recommend sliders and 1 locker.

Marc, I might be able to go with you on Sat...

won't know till later next week...

If not Sat, then maybe Sunday...


2WD, you might be able to make Gold Mtn, with a couple strong rigs front and rear. But John Bull and the other hard runs would be a disaster. You would be a very unhappy offroader... and so would your 4WD buds...

Plus anyone else on the trail would be very pi**ed off, cuz there are few places to go around you...
