GhostX: I'll take one of those small SCCX stickers for sure...maybe even the big circle one as well if you have enough. I'll bring my cash to the meetup :-)

There is a big shopping center for us to meet on the north side of the 210 off of Citrus Ave. and Sierra Lakes Pkwy. on the west side with a brand new Autozone store ...

Irwin, that looks like a great final meet spot for everyone to arrive at. It's under a mile away from Fontana Nissan: http://g.co/maps/rgxvc
An early meet time like we've suggested sounds good: meeting at 7:30 or 8:00 AM.


I'm coming from Moreno Valley, going through Riverside up the 15 or 215.

No problem, we will have plenty on hand.  Thanks for the support!

I'm all in for meeting a mile away around 8am and caravanning over.

There is a big shopping center for us to meet on the north side of the 210 off of Citrus Ave. and Sierra Lakes Pkwy. on the west side with a brand new Autozone store, Farmers Boys Burger joint, and a Home Depot.  If we park by the Autozone, we'll have great exposure and everyone coming off the freeway will be able to see us.  From there, we can just hop to the otherside of the freeway and only 1/2 block to the dealership.  There is a very large empty dirt lot across the street from the dealership.  We can put the early arrivers on the street (@ 20 trucks in single line) and the rest (@ 100 vehicles staggered) on the dirt lot.

Crap, I have to work Saturday night into the wee hours of Sunday morning so I don't think I will be able to make this one. I might take a break from work for GONE MOAB later in the month.

Update for everyone.  The shopping center where we are going to be gathering at BEFORE the actual Meet & Greet is located at 16065 Sierra Lakes Pkwy, Fontana, CA 92336 which is by a brand new America's Tire Co., a new AutoZone, a Home Depot and a Farmer Boys Burgers where anyone can get breakfast & use the restrooms.  I spoke with the manager of Americas tire & he was thrilled with us meeting there because it's a brand new store & they want exposure.  They will, however, be closed on Sundays so he has asked us not to leave any trash.  In exchange, we can use their entire parking area which has room for @ 80 trucks easily & great exposure on Citrus Ave. & also, coming off the 210 Fwy to the north.  From there we drive back over the fwy to Fontana Nissan & enjoy the day.  Anyone want to do Cleghorn Rd. OHV Trail afterwards?  We should start gauging interest for that as well.  We can start by going up Sierra Ave. past the 15 Fwy into Lytle Creek, take a short fire acces rd. over the mtn to Cleghorn..

I'll be at the meet, but I have to work afterwards, starting at 1 pm ish 

[IRON X]

I'm in for Cleghorn. Let's go wheeling!

I'm in to do some wheeling at Cleghorn afterwards.

Irwin, do you know about when we'll head out to the trail, or is it dependent on what events we'll all have at the meet?

[magnus718]

woo...sounds like a fun filled day!! i'm in!

[IRON X]

I read on the Fontana Nissan facebook page that the meet is from 9am to 1pm. I don't think we'll need to stay til 1 tho...

[SuperSlideStyle]

We can decide on the trail run start time once there at the Meet & Greet.  I'm still not very familiar with Cleghorn Road trail.  Only ran it once & I know there are several trails up there.  I would prefer someone with more experienced would lead but we'll see.

According to the "Guide to California Backroads and 4-wheel drive Trails" book, Cleghorn Ridge is rated easy but there are many optional sideroads that range from moderate to difficult. It says the difficult trails are easy to spot and can't really be confused with the easier ones.   I kinda wanna go up there next weekend to track it on my gps for future reference.
