Thanks everyone, I'm not trying to slow the group down, north shore drive is the easiest way, I'm sure I'll find an easy close place to park the tow rig for the day,Last edited by toycrawler5481; 06-07-12, 04:23 PM.

What's you rig build like?
I've never run Gold Mountain myself, so can't speak for how difficult it is. From what I've heard, it's one of the easier Big Bear runs. That said, Big Bear forest fest rates it as medium difficulty. If you did all the spurs of Cleghorn, I would think you can handle Gold Mountain.
Post your build, I'm sure others can chime in that have run it. Pretty sure even a stock Jeep can handle it.

I didn't even know I still had this account -
I might be meeting you guys up (Justruns are running the same routes) I rather go with a bit smaller group - lots of dust in the back sucks -If anything I'll see you guys on the trail
Nine am not 9:30am

9:00 AM is correct. I hope we can leave the Discovery Center before 9:30. I'll post my phone number on Friday. If someone is running late, give me a call.
All info is in the OP.
Yeah Dakota, you're build is definitely more than good for Gold Mountain! See you Saturday! Btw, the jack requirement is a jack to lift your Jeep if you get a flat, not a hi lift.Last edited by suicideking; 06-06-12, 10:34 PM.
