chang-0-plans
its going to be a Big Bear snow run since the box canyons will be prone to flash floods

north meeting spot:
McDonalds at Bear Valley / I-15 (In Victorville). Leave there around 8:30 then head to 3N16 / Hwy 18 to meet at the trailhead at about 10am.

south meeting spot:
Here is where we met last time we went up the hills.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...Ca+92346&cad=h It was easy to find. Please be there by 8:30 latest. It could get hairy going up and we might have to take it slow. If were early up there so what.
Wal Mart parking lot Next to the Tarbell Realtors

Highland , Ca 92346

change-o-plans lol
big bear has formed a glacier and there is chaos in the streets. we're headed to the Pilot Rock truck trail for a day of getting stuck and tow straps whilst we frolic in the snow

requirments:
cold/wet weather gear. blankets and extra food/water are a good idea for shtf.
truck capable of some sort of snow travel aka decent tires. bring recovery gear....most snow runs end up "recovery" runs

Just remember




Should be a fun day.

What time's the start and where should we meet ?
We should probably get an early start this time..


You care if I come crash at you're place so I dont have such a long drive the morning of ?

[troyboy162]

Peggy Suesis a good spot to start for calico. we can always arange other convoys to there but everyone has to drive by that place anyhow. meet there at 10? earlier is always best but thats pretty far for some guys. and yea steve ill even set up the air matress for you if you dont want the couch.

[Scuba]

10 sounds ok, as long as we don't dilly dally to trail head and whatnot.

You dont have to setup the air matress man, I remember that couch was pretty ok.
I get off work at 5 sat, should be up to your place by 7 I suppose. And thanks, Even though I imposed

[Smiling_Jim]

So, yer talkin' Sun 1-24?

Could be wet up there. Seven days of rain ahead

Could still be fun though

[troyboy162]

yea it might be wild. if its still raining im not sure if box canyons are the place to be but we can figure something.

[X-Tool Pimp]

I would stay away from Calico for a week or two if I was you. But if you need me to recover you from a washed out canyon give me a call

[Scuba]

Yeah troy, Jason bitched out. Apparently it's too far for him when he goes to pismo for day runs


Anyway, I think we'll be okay as long as it's not still pouring when were there. If it get's to wild we can use bullfrog or cleghorn as an alternate.

[troyboy162]

bullfrog is a good secondary. we could actualy overland to there from peggy sues as a last minute thing if need be.

Jasons truck is a bit nice for duran anyhow

I just dont know my way around cougar buttes / BF very well. So make sure to bring your laptop
