Our next So Cal trip will be Saturday September 17th. We will be running Gold Mountain.

Time: At 9:30am sharp we will be leaving the Discovery Center to journey over to the trailhead. We plan on getting started on the trail by 10 after airing down at the trailhead. If you miss us at the Discovery Center head east on Hwy 38 which will turn into Hwy 18 to meet us at the trailhead. Expect a full day of trails so bring a lunch to eat while we wheel.

Meeting Spot: We will be meeting at the Big Bear Discovery Center on the North Shore of Big Bear Lake. The Discovery Center is located at 40971 North Shore Dr. (which is Hwy 38) in the town Fawnskin, which is just on the north side of Big Bear Lake across the water from the town of Big Bear.



If taking Hwy 38: You will need to get to where the I-215 meets the I-10. From there, take the I-10 E and take the TENNESSEE STREET exit and turn LEFT, then go 0.4 mi and turn RIGHT on W LUGONIA AVE which is Hwy 38. Take this highway all the way to the back side of Big Bear. You will come to a stop sign where you will turn left onto E. Big Bear Blvd (Still Hwy 38). In Big Bear, turn right on Green Way Dr. (this is before the lake), which is the continuation of Hwy 38. Then turn left on North Shore Dr which is also Hwy 38. Go about 2 miles and the Discovery Center will be on the right. If you go into the town of Fawnskin, you have a gone a couple miles too far. If you miss Greenway Dr. and get deeper into Big Bear, you can turn right on Standfield Cutoff which takes you across Big Bear Lake. Then turn left and follow the above directions.

Communications: We will be on CB channel 37

We can convoy up from the OC. Mikkel and I usually leave early, drive slow and eat breakfast somewhere along the way though.

Ok, we will figure out a meeting place and time to head out. Tustin Hummer seems to be a central spot for most of the OC crowd or we can meet at AAMCO 's shop also.

OK, I've officially changed my mind. I have the 16th off due to 9/80 work schedule, so I can work on my house Friday and Sunday and play Saturday. :D

I'll have a rider this time. A friend from work who does a lot of dirt biking, but not much 4-wheeling.

My main issues with this trail last time was ground clearance. Since I have good tires and front and rear lockers, I don't seem to have traction issues except when I'm dragging the undercarriage on the ground. :eek: Therefore, I'm thinking of airing down less (higher pressure) or not airing down until I need to since it will provide me more ground clearance. Since I have the Staun Tire Deflators, I can air down pretty fast. Any thoughts or opinions on this hair brain idea?

You should be fine on Gold mountain without airing down, especially with front and rear lockers. You will feel more bumps though.

I say air down.
Plush ride, better traction, less chance of tire damage, conquer those obstacles without locking up! :thumbs:

Looking forward to meeting you up in Big Bear.
