Big Bear in August

[HeepSpeed]

August 13 at 7:00pm - August 15 at 9:00pm
Location: Big Bear, CA Yellow Post site #30

Another Adventure Brigade Trip!

Drive up Friday night after work to Yellow Post site #30. This means that a fire ring is the only thing provided at the campsite.
Bring all your own supplies, food, water, special bucket (for those that know)

...Activities:
We'll probably do a day of 4x4 on Big Bear trails, anything from easy to hard depending on who wants to drive. Garrett votes hard.

We can cruise down into Big Bear to check out the town or eat. We can swim in the lake, too.

We can go hiking.

Why Big Bear?
Big Bear is close. This means not much fuel usage which saves us some cash. The trail to get to the campsite should be accessible to any SUV with clearance so bring a friend!
The Yellow Post site is remote and we won't be next to another campsite cramping our style. You can party all night or tuck into your sleeping bag. If you REALLY have a problem about the no bathroom situation, then just wait until we go into town.

Adventure Pass Required.

For you gps people:
YP30 is located on 2N86 at N34° 13.950 W116° 58.805

Lots of shade. Room for many tents. Down a spur road.

Having never been there before, I'm not sure it's exact location. I'm sure you could tell from this map (you can see it's the top left yellow post site on the map:

That is my last free weekend before the school year starts and I have to go back and teach those little brats. This sounds like a great way to bring my summer to a close. Not sure if I will camp, but I will definately join you guys on the Saturday trail run.

Amazingly, we'll be in Big Bear at Hanna Flat from the 8th to the 12th... Sigh.

garrett - i think u have my number... if not pm me urs and we'll chat about this

 

[91blackbox]

ok so where is the trail head located at ?

 

[HeepSpeed]

From the map posted (until I find a better one in my room somewhere which I know I have), looks like you get on 2N10 and then pick up 2N86 until it dead ends at YP30.

Are we gonna get to see sasquatch?

 

[souske]

Are we gonna get to see sasquatch?

No john, I will have left by then :eyes:

 

[HeepSpeed]

Unless I'm really hungry (which is when I'm actually nicknamed sasquatch), we will not. I'm going to bring food and snacks so that I'm a happy camper.

 

[91blackbox]

I am planning on camping with you guys, but depending on what trails you all want to run I might go meet up with my toyota friend that is planning on John Bull, Dishpan run on saturday.

 

[91blackbox]

thats fine bro... some of us cant run hard stuff and some uf us wont run the easy trails. thats the beauty of wheeling.. something different for everyone lol... heep said he want to run some difficult runs so maybe he would like that too... i wouldnt mind but i have a bad front drive shaft and not sure if i'll have the time to go yank another from a donor or find another one by the trip...
