Those of you who are maybes please let me know if you decide to run with us or not....i don't want to be waiting for you at the discovery center if you're not actually going. thanks


Current plan:

Meet at Discovery Center, N.E. side of big bear lake at 8:30.
We depart no later than 8:45
CB channel 33
Bring a lunch.
Yes it will be a very long day of wheeling....thats kinda the point.
Trails hit will be John Bull 1st., Holcomb 2nd., and end with Dishpan.


If you're not running it with us but are going anyway then have fun and be safe and maybe we'll do a run together some other time.

Sounds good!

thanks for that guys. I'll probably do that next time but for this go around plans are already in place and in motion with about 6 other rigs going as well.

I might be in. When was the last time we did it this way? I like your idea, I've been wanting to run J.B., Holc., and Dish in that order for some time, the rockgardens have a different light. This may be a day to start real early, meet @ 6AM as a suggestion, it's definitly an all dayer...maybe into the night! Ask Mike he and Sharon always run into the night!

As for no lockers and 31's I ran it with 31's a bunch...and 2 weeks ago ran with Gary who doesn't have lockers and had no trouble. Good lines, spotter, pull strap, FUN! The thing is alot of obstacales you will be coming DOWN, gravity will be on your side...and if we have time we can always run UP the waterfall at the end just for fun. Just my $2.00.

How long did it take us to do DP and HC with 14 of us, with no accidents??? 9 hrs or so?? Other than a stuck CJ and a YJ??

I smell a disaster brewing

lol...., I agree Matt, after a while you can spot em comin. If there was any way I could go. I would still start at D.P.with a few jeeps and meet the others going the other way, they would probably still be at J.B.
However, the roughest day wheeln (with no accidents) is still better than the worse day workin.

[Matt2001TJ]

Hmmm

even that's a pretty heavy day of wheeling, without breakage or much holdup through the obstacles...

so what is the plan? the thread is meandering between starting at gold mtn, john bull, or dishpan...??

just want to make sure no one is confused.

[maddmike]

Yeah. Uphill dishpan, out to holmcolm and then finish on John Bull.

[dr.dirty]

i might be interested and ill bring a tj with me along with the jk

[Desert Jewel]

Yeah. Uphill dishpan, out to holmcolm and then finish on John Bull.

That would be a much better route!! I might have to join you guys.

Just a thought...

If you haven't done Dishpan before, you might want to consider starting there. It is easily accessed from the paved streets in Lake Arrowhead. For your first go at it, the uphill run might be more enjoyable. There is a good meeting point at the intersection of Hooks Creek road and the 173.

[OffRoadFreak]

I encourage anyone to go. We may skip out on gold mountain. I have to talk to my buddy about that. gold mountain is too easy for me and I really only want to do deep creek (I haven't done that one yet). John Bull and holcomb i've done.

Not much of a rig yet (2inch lift, 31" mtrs, and quicker disconnects) but it is still a jeep. Yes I'm slower than peeps with lockers but at least i'm out there doing it. :smile:

An All Day Run

that is a lot of trails for 1 day

Yepp, I agree, its a full day, about 7 or 8 hours trail time(if not more) for a few WELL SET UP RIGS with drivers that know whats up with no breakage...????
