Trail Run: 3N14 / 3N16 / Jacoby 3N61

[Mitch]

Dennison and I headed to Big Bear this morning for breakfast and to escape the desert heat. Friday it was 90' at 6:oopm so cooler temps sounded good. We left Apple Valley on JS3325 (Coxey Truck Trail) which turns into 3N14 heading to Fawnskin. The temperature was perfect with a nice cloud cover and scattered sprinkles all day.

We went thru Fawnskin stopping at the Discovery Center and the Solar Observatory on our way to the "Grizzley Manor" for an awesome breakfast. We then walked around the Village for bit. As we drove towards the dam I made a quick stop at the old Dam Keepers stone house. Very historic and very cool!







Next we looped back thru Fawnskin to 3N16 and cruised across Holcomb Valley. The sight of the fire destruction and the beautiful flowers and new growth is real weird.





To finish the day we ran down Jacoby Canyon. After several hours of dirt roads the ole YJ wanted to flex and stretch it's legs a bit.

Lookin Good Mitch. Wish I could just "run up the Hill" like you do. I kept looking toward the mountains all day hoping some of them clouds would build up and dump some rain. Nothing better than driving BB in the rain. Thanks for the pics.

Looks like another awesome day in the mountains. The weather was purfect. I was riding mountain bikes at snow summit all day and the weather was nice and the clouds kept it really cool. Thanks for another great report Mitch.

It was a nice weekend up there. I can never get enough of Big Bear !! I took my daughter camping Sat night. We stayed at Big Pine campground, at the intersection of 3n14 and 3n16. We took off Sun morning and saw Fishpoet in Fawnskin prepping for some trail maintenance in Holcomb Creek.
