Big Bear in August

[WebDog]

Max,

You still planning on coming down the 10 on Friday night?

Yes, I can shoot off the fwy and then catch up with the others unless they dont mind pulling off for a quick drop.

 

[WebDog]

We don't have a SET list of trails yet, but I'll talk to Max (Webdog) and we can decide something. He might be trail leader (if he doesn't mind) due his previous experience on these trails.

Max, do you mind if I put you in charge of the trail runs?

That is fine with me.

Once we get to BB I will try to contact Sean (yota guy) and see if they know what they are doing, if not we will just go on our own...

But I would like to do dishpan and JB if possible.


Also, I found my SWR meter. So if anyone wants to tune there CB we can do it Friday night in camp.

Don't forget to HYDRATE starting today. It takes hours for the body to become fully hydrated. Last time I went to Big Bear I didn't drink enough water and was miserable all day.

 

[WebDog]

Thats what the camel pack bladder is for behind my driver seat, you drink a lot more than you would with bottle water...

 

[91blackbox]

yup thats my plan max

 

[WebDog]

can we get a final head count of who is going, and who is planning on running the hard trails on Saturday...

Thanks

======================

I've extended the invite to a couple folks in the SoCalXJ group, not sure if any will show yet.

My cell is six19 six54 nine758 (text works best sometimes in spotty signal areas, as it all comes thru at once. Nothing is much more frustrating than getting an alert that you have voicemail, but not enough steady signal to call & retrieve it! )

I plan to lounge and do easy stuff, just enjoy myself & the scenery. I do not have anything bearproof, so hopefully just having mostly dry goods, and them in my Jeep, will be enough. Not sure if it'd be better to leave 70lb Eddie in the Jeep to sleep (his preferred spot) or put him in the tent with me... Hmmm.

You bringin some back holmes?

i dont think you want day old mexican food. might give you more than the shits

 

[91blackbox]

ok boys and "girl" tomorrow is the big day... we all packed ready to run ???

got my firewood all loaded in the basket.... got my trailer loaded with the gear.. got most of my food packed..

still gotta go get the cold goods tomorrow before heading out and get my spare swapped out ....

 

[HeepSpeed]

OK, looks like I was able to pin down the location of the YP site in Google maps.

Version 1: CLICK HERE

Version 2: CLICK HERE

For those who have been there, does this seem right? Does one route seem better than the other one? I don't want to get halfway through version 1 to have to turn around. Thanks.

 

[91blackbox]

version two is your best bet for what time ur coming up bro... version one is all backwoods fireroads.. not lit at all... fun run during the day but not at night and its gonna slow u way down... take version 2... i live up here and thats the way i'm going if that tells you anything

 

[WebDog]

I got some stuff to do to mine tomorrow before leaving also.

 

[91blackbox]
