SteeevO Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 So the ENTIRE San Bernardino National Forest is closed untill fire season is over [[Does Rain Dance]] and i'm sure that i'll be the first one back on teh trail as soon as we get the OK. so when this happens i think i smell a Big Bear Trail run. it'll all look different because of the recent fires. but hey, i'm getting antsy here. I don't know how many people on this board are close enough for a bigbear run but i would really like to get something together. All in favor of heading to bigbear after the first big rain, raise thier hand .... or wave, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteeevO Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 we have, i'm guessing about a month till we can get back into the forest, but at minimum like 3 weeks. so get your rig ready and lets hit the trail! ok so we have a massive group of 2,... maybe. any other takers?

Enjoi408 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Its quite the drive for NorCal. I'm sure it will be fun but something I would not do in a month since I'm short on cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatutoryApe Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 sweet people are up for a winter run in nor cal.... but not so. cal is this because there are simply no nissan owners in so. cal? maybe that and the fact that i don't have enough money right now to go down to SoCal. Right now i'm tryin to save up for a camping trip that's all the way in december! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I think most of the SoCal Nissan members stick to the 4x4parts.com forums. I'd be down for a NorCal meet-up. That is as soon as I get around to replacing my CV Joints... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteeevO Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'm down for Bear. Stock Qx4 on mud terrains. Open diffs. Holcomb Valley? do you know the FS trail name for it? i may have done it in the past but don't know it by name. i originally was thinking about doing holcomb creek to green valley lake, but the last time i was in there i was on 30's and did some some body dmage. we'll have to pick something that is friendly for everyone and we'll also have to get more peope in on this thread. let me know what other trails u usually run in big bear.

FUELER Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I've only done a few so far... Butler Peak is an extremely easy one that I remember....

Heres an idea Yeah i have the forestry service map that shows ALOT. but none of them have names just the forestry service name eg. 3N14, or 2N17X etc.. the trails are much much more extensive then what is shown on that map. i have that map around here somewhere also.. i'll start digging through a few books tonight.

I just don't wanna lead people into something that is over thier heads... i've never really lead a trail run before. thats why i'm stress'n on this.
