Topic: 12/27-28 Rattlesnake Canyon, Big Bear

[Blackx]

I've been wanting to check out 2N02.  If I recall it comes out at east side of Baldwin Lake.

some of my friends will be going up this weekend.  I will send you their pictures once they post.  last I heard, they have an additional 12 inches of snow this morning.

For those going Sunday, where is the general meeting place?

[Paul]

Wow lots of snow! 

[Aperion]

damn, I'd love to do this, but Me and Em are 100% unprepared

[Blackx]

I think it should be ok for the run in my opinion.  BB should be getting snow next week, but on the day of the run it looks like it won't snow.  I plan on meeting you at the meet spot on Bessemer Rd.

Here's a link to the 10 day forecast for BB Lake.  http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USCA0094?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared

No I'm doing just Saturday - its only an hour from me and dont feel like camping

[Paul]

We're going to get another storm this week with some good snow totals and rain! 

That trail up the canyon ought to be full of water and snow ... sounds fun.

[ultrapc40]

I didn't see it, but are you guys still planning to go up Rattlesnake?

[xtoolbox]

Yes we're starting off in Rattlesnake Cyn

Depending on the time & group at the the Burns Canyon/2n02 intersection those that want to can head up to Big Bear on 2N02 or the other direction (Burns) towards Pioneertown/Yucca Valley.  Doubt we will have enough time to run any trails on saturday in Big Bear but the access route up should be fun.

Bring what you have, no worries about chains:  lunch, food, drinks, and a 4x4 vehicle should do just fine.

ultrapc40 would you mind moving the photos to the picture & video forum to cut down on the clutter 

[ultrapc40]

hey Brian i removed the pictures.

[Paul]

We'll meet you at the trail head at 34.41150,-116.7239 as we're coming up thru Mornogo Valley.

The weather is calling for snow and we'll be near 4000 feet up and Saturday night it ought to hit freezing but not much colder than that. I think the weather is going to make this trip lots of fun!

Happy Holidays to all. I am in for sure. This is gonna be a great run again. I'll be camping for sure. Are Brian, and Paul the only others camping?

[sturndog]

Me and Diana want to go but have to leave to pick up her kid early  Sunday so we will not be camping Saturday unless we are stuck - I am assuming there is an exit point heading out to Pioneer town- I also am assuming I do not need chains.
