CANVAZ is a joint get together between California (CA), Nevada (NV) and Arizona (AZ). There is a rotation and every year a different state takes the reigns and hosts the event for others to attend. This year is CA's turn to host the event. Although our rigs exist all across our state, the south is where most of the rigs are and SCCX is hosting.
The location is the mountain town of Big Bear CA. The date is Saturday Oct 10th & Sunday the 11th with an option for Monday the 12th (Columbus Day).
As most of you know, BigBear is a wheelers paradise with trails for all skill and rig levels. For the SAS'ed group on 37's, Johnson Valley (KOH) is about an hour away.
The Lake sits at just under 7000ft and most of the camping is in the hills above the lake, so be ready for a cold October. There are also a verity of cabins tucked into the forest and a few motels and rustic lodges. I spend a lot of time there so feel free to ask any questions or just bring a warm sleeping bag and a sense of adventue.

http://sccxterra.com/smf/index.php?topic=3326.0 There will be a veriety of trails for all rig and skill levels.
Green trails - Minor to no modifications required
Blue trails - Minor mods recommended.
lift, tires, sliders.
Black trails - Must be bit by the modbug. add bumpers skid plates and one locker.
The ultimate decision on trail requirements will be up to the descretion of that trail leader. No if, ands or buts.
ALL RIGS MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE FRONT AND ONE REAR RECOVERY POINT.
Do not become the bowel obstruction on the trail. Your carelessness or disregard for this will impact others ability to enjoy themselves.
A full size spare and the ability to change a tire on uneven ground is a must.
1st trail run will be on Saturday the 10th and if there is enough interest, groups can run into Monday. There may be a evening run. For those who want to use all those lights we buy, this is a great opportunity to make it happen.
Post up your suggestions for the trails, questions and comments you may have.
