Trail Report: big bear 7/26 (report)

[bullysteve]

big bear saturday was a blast , missed you schmo ....since joe could not make it tony and his wife took the lead going thru gold mountain (her driving) then john bull (him driving) the weather was perfect and the group was great we left the discovery center being 9-10 rigs and picked up 2-3 more at the trail head for a total 13 . Gold mountain is getting better and better the more times we run it maybe one day it will be a true black diamond , it was a little slow going but we all made threw the only real excitment was we had a pathfinder (sorry bad with names) show us up (jeeps) on the rock garden looks like i need bigger tires and more lift hehehe . after GM we headed for jb and said goodbye to one jeep that was heading home early for some upgrades . john bull was fun as usual only a couple hang ups but we all pitched in and got everyone threw , of course some rigs made it look easier then others . After jb trail we had a rest and then we all split up in differnt directions some headed home some headed out for a early dinner and some like myself headed out with double G and others ( 7 in total ) that we meet at the end of jb for a quick run threw a awsome little trail on the way down hwy 38 after it we said our good byes and split up again 4 of us headed down the mountain and the rest back up , other then a split sidewall there was only minor carnage ....... thanks again for tony taking lead i thought he was going to wear himself out before JB , bet you slept good last night ........ until next time , steve ....PS: shant you really need to get those saturday's off

What was that last trail? It was a bunch of slippery shale up to the top of a peak and a 100mph run to the bottom

Thanks for the report Steve. Thanks guys for letting me and my wife lead. We both had a great time and it sure looked like everybody else was having alot of fun. Pretty much we had the trail for ourselves, exception for a few other vehicles. It was just a fun day! I'll be sending some pics.

it had summit in its name and was at over 9400 foot range ..........cool and awsome view of lake big bear

I think it was called Onyx Summit Trail, and lead up to Lightning Ridge.

I had an awesome time. Thanks to everyone for making it another great run, and a BIG thanks to those who helped me change my tire.

Oops, I originally posted these in the wrong forum...
click on the pics and they get big.


It was a great day, good crew, and we moved along pretty quick for the most part. Trail traffic was very light too, unlike last weekend when me and tony ended up turning around about 500 feet up JB. I was in the black toyota

I'd love to join you guys again.

Until next time...here's a few pics

so who bought the red cherokee?

[lbhsbz]

I talked a couple of guys from work into buying it from Chris....they went halves on it. Jason was driving this trip...it was his first time off road. He did pretty good for a newb....I wish I had lockers, gears, and 36s on my first time out LOL...would've made things a bit easier.
