Cleghorn Road, Pilot Fuelbreak, Pilot Rock - San Bernardino Mtns - April 11, 2015

[boyfester]

A small group of us went to the San Bernardino Mtns yesterday. It was my first led trip so I didn't post it on any forums so the small group was easier to manage. We started at Cleghorn Road off of the 15 freeway at 8:30AM and worked our way up the mountain taking as many difficult routes as we could. My two cousins, who've never driven off road before, were getting a reprieve from his wife's baby shower, for baby #2, and so they joined us too. They had a 2WD Jeep SUV and pretty much stuck to the easy fireroad while the rest of us took to the harder stuff. We finished Cleghorn Road at about 1:30PM since we (I) took too many pictures/videos. After Cleghorn, we headed over to Pilot Fuelbreak Road (2N17X) and cranked up that to Pilot Rock.

Lessons learned for me:

- JD makes everything look really easy
- I need me a pair of sliders
- Jeep Cherokee transfer cases can be fixed with zip-ties
- I need to learn how to hold the camera steadier when shooting HD videos
- Motorcycle riders and trucks don't always occupy the same space very well

The group consisted of the following:

JD - 4Runner
Marc - 4Runner
Ken - FJ Cruiser
Jeff & Scott - Jeep Cherokee
Will & Liam - Jeep Patriot
