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

[Oz]

yes i would like to go but no snow chains... and its christmas .... too last minute to be able to get a set.  do you guys think a close to stock pathy is okay for this run?  i will bring straps & tools just in case. 

You still have Friday - Im sure there will be some places open to buy chains

You don't need chains, 4x4 truck will do fine.  

Big Bear is just one option after rattlesnake, some will be heading out toward Yucca Valley.

If you want to go up to BB: even  if cal trans has the chains required for the roads which will most likely be lifted by saturday if you have a 4 wheel drive with M&S tires  (stock on all X's) you're  fine or exempt

For those doing big bear I just got here.  Took the back way from orange ave off I10.  Took 5 hours.  I heard the front was even worse.  There was also a chain check but if you have 4wd with snow tires, as you should, you just need to carry chains.  Just an FYI.  I know we aren't taking that road tomorrow.  should be fun.  I'll see you at Bessemer mine rd in the am.  I know frs is 12 24, but I'll also be on cb channel 12 if anyone has that too.

I don't have chains and aren't buying them. I'll run east on the 10 to 62 and then head north though Morongo and Yuca Valley. It it's going to take five hours to do those 30 miles you can count me out! We'll make the effort to be sure but I don't do traffic. If chains are required to come down out of Big Bear I might end up running though to Pioneer Town and then down the east side.

I'm out.  Have fun.

OK it looks like chains will not be required up the front way.

I'm out.  Have fun.

I was never actually completely in but now I'm out too.  To much to do and not enough days off to do it all.

Sorry, i'm out. tried my best to make this one

Well sounds like a lot of people are bailing.  Not that I blame you.  Roads today up here were awful.  Since I don't want to deal with these roads again and I don't want to show up to a spot when no one else does, which has happened before, I guess I'm out too.

[xtoolbox]

Show up there will be about six trucks at the meets

The back route we're going is clear no chains, roads just fine, don't worry be happy.   Weather is looking great, going to be fun times.

  It's just a little snow... This is to good of a run to pass up. I'll see you at 9:30 Brian, and anyone else that isn't bailing.

Go dude.  I love this drive and would be there if I could but I don't think it's in the card today.
