Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like a lot of fun. Please sign me up for Sat. RC run. At this point, I am pretty sure I can make it. BTW - No side steps and mud flaps were removed the day after I got the X home. Hope to meet all of you too.

I got a pretty much a stock xterra  I only have 2 inch lift kit and skit plates from a off road model  And 265/70/17 open country tires what kind of trail do you guys recommend me I believe I sign up for the  blue trail but I don't know if I can make it on my xterra  I don't have a CB radio

You will be fine in blue that I lead Sunday. We will spot you if needed.

If anyone is still updating the lists - I'm going to switch from the blue trail to the green trail for Saturday the 10th, due to my cousin not wanting to run a blue just before leaving town for a big trip. So myself in the X and my cousin in his F-150 will be running RBDuffer's Rattlesnake Canyon trip on the 10th, and the blue trail will need a new tail gunner for that day (looks like a lot of people are signed up for that run, so hopefully that's not an issue).

RBDuffer - is there a meet place and time yet for the Saturday Rattlesnake Canyon run? Also, what is your planned loop (just curious)? Are you thinking Hwy 18/247 from Big Bear down into Johnson Valley and then run Rattlesnake Canyon to 2N02 back up to Baldwin Lake?

Still not sure what I'm going to do for Sunday the 11th. My wife and I need to get back down the hill in the early afternoon to pick up our son, so I'm out for Gold Mountain due to time. Might just be Saturday for us as far as trail runs.

 John Bull is open for Sunday the 11th.... Just sayin

What time do you have to be down the Mtn?

[JFanaselle]

I'd need to be back down in the Riverside area by 2:00 PM. By the time I break camp in the morning, I'll have 2.5-3 hours to run a trail and get on the main highway. Like I said, I'm leaning toward doing my own thing Sunday, maybe even just hanging around town with my wife. We don't get up to Big Bear often anyway.

Hey Joe, glad to have you guys.  And yes, the 18 to 247 to RSC to 2n02 loop.  My guess is the discovery center would be a good meet up spot at 10 or ?, so we can enjoy a good camp breakfast or for the folks that are driving up that morning.  I am always open to good ideas though.

This has been a popular meet up place for the Xcursions I've been on in Big Bear....big parking lot, amenities close by (Starbucks, Vons, even gas close)....

Just my .02

I'll being doing the black trails on both days.  I got me some skid plates and I want to beat them up.

 You joining us on the JB the 11th? Only reason I ask is because the lists have become a little disjointed and I need to figure out who is going so I'm not herding cats the morning of the run. Please PM me your cell beforehand.

You know what?, maybe we should all just meet here, campers and day-trailers, just so nobody gets left behind.  Or for last minute info or changes.
Please pipe up with any comments or other suggestions gang.

 That's a great meeting spot for folks that need last minute ice etc. The only thing I would offer up is since it appears the majority is staying at Hanna Flat campground it's a longer drive to go across the lake and into town then turn right around to go back north to the trails. At least for the trail I'm leading, I requested folks meet me at the Fawnskin Visitors Center/Ranger Station so we can get on the trail a little quicker.

yeah, I can definitely see that being a small issue, but it was more offered up as a general meet-up place....plus, there has been some shenanigans going on in that parking lot prior to runs....

I'm open to either day.  In the past everybody met at Vons then left from there.  It gave us a chance to meet everybody and load up supplies.
