If you are showing up on Friday after 9.00 you can go directly to 2N04 only if you feel comfortable doing so. I would encourage you to do this only if you are know the Big Bear area.

The turn off for 2N04 is approxmately 4.8 miles South East of the Big Bear City Limits on Highway 38, this turn off is very easy to miss. If you are coming closer to noon I would suggest going to 2N01 (the next turn off South East of 2N04) and then going down 2N04.
