Just an FYI, SCCX will be conducting an Adopt-A-Trail cleanup along 2N02 on July 31 so there will be a large group of Xterras out on the trail. We will most likely be monitoring/using 146.535 and I will keep an eye on this thread to see what freq you will be using to make life easier.

July Monthly AAV SoCal Trail Run

Location:Pioneer Town to Big Bear
When:July 31st - Sunday
Duration: Day Run

Difficulty:2-5 (Scale of 1-10)
Organizer(s):Brett (IronworksTactical)
Trail Leader(s): Brett & TBD

Meet Location and Time:Pappy and Harriots parking lot @ 0900, we will conduct a driver meeting at 0930 and then head out.

Route: We will take 2N02 Burns Canyon (TR:1-3) to 2N61Y Heartbreak Ridge (TR:4-7, we will be avoiding the sluice loop which is the higher rating area, nothing over about a 5 on this route) and back to Burns Canyon rd where we will break for a short lunch at Rose Mine area (unless we are making great time then we will break further up the road). Depending on how quickly we are moving we will either take 3N03 Smarts Ranch rd (TR: 1-4) to 3N61 Jacoby Canyon (TR:3-5) where we can finish it off there or press on through 3N16 Holcomb (TR:2-4) and drop down 2N09 Polique Canyon (TR:1-2) finishing off the day in Big Bear.
TR = Trail Rating

Alternate ending: Instead of hitting Smart Ranch Rd we can continue on Burns and exit Baldwin Lake Rd and drive through Big Bear and head for home. This will cut a decent amount of trail off but gives us a short out if we for some reason are taking way to long and are behind schedule which can happen.

Also the nice thing about this route is at anytime anything is more difficult than anyone or their rig is capable we can just use the easier alternate parallel trails.

Route Description: Burns, Holcomb and Smart Ranch Rd are basically graded roads. Heartbreak Ridge has some slow moving technical sections that can be easily navigated without armor, Jacoby is slightly harder and probably should have armor. I have ran all of these trails without armor and have ran with people who also didn't have armor without any damage. However just know if you don't have armor and you're a little heavy on the foot or stray from the line at all you can always incur damage, that is the drivers responsibility solely. There are no boulders on this trail normally. Again this area allows me to tailor it to the rigs who sign up and can be as easy as we want it to be so don't stress.

A little clip from a couple weeks ago in the same area, the only reason the 4runner in front of me was slipping is he wasnt using his rear locker. The most technical part of the trail starts right about 0:15 in the beginning.

Rig Requirements:
4x4
Rear Lockers
Front and rear recovery points
2" or more lift
Suggested vehicle mods (not required):
Sliders
Front traction control, limited slip locker or air locker



Communication: Comms will be via HAM, I will give out the channel at a later time.

Depending on WHO signs up I will be keeping this list for now to 10. If anyone is intimately knowledgeable of these areas please step up so you can assist me in running this. It would be greatly appreciated.

I'm torn for that weekend... so many good events going on that I don't know where to go!! I may as well stay home. :headbang
 
While this is only a day run, is anyone planning on camping the night before or night after?

Sledder and I will be up the
Mountain starting friday night doing some dispurse camping. Crawling around, we scan 19 frequently or I can direct message a cell if you like!
 
Look what the nice man in the brown truck just left at my house:

Just picked up one of those a few days ago + a programming cable. I might possibly have programmed in some local repeaters as well as all 22 FRS/GPRS frequencies...
 
Huh...you know the commercial where the older couple answers the door and it's their kids/grandkids and they hand them a pile of electronics and state that all of that stuff is "broken"? Brian...you have a "broken" radio coming your way next time we cross paths. It's a Yaseu (sp?) that needs some work. Currently I know ho...I mean the damn radio will only change frequencies, receive and transmit in the HAM and 2way (race) radio freqs. The FRS thing would be nice to have.

I'll have to remember to bring the rest of my "broken" stuff to KoH, it'll give you something to do for the 5 hours we stand around doing nothing.
 
I will have several radios with me, including Baofeng UV5R and UV8HP radios. I am more than happy to bring along my programming cable and laptop and help people with radio programming, likewise if anyone needs to borrow a radio for the run just let me know.
 
Since my tires have not come in as of yet, and I will be on the road all of next week it is looking like I will not make this trip. If the tires come in and I can get them installed I will show up but it is pretty unlikely

I am out. I just received a weed abatement notice for my cabin up in Big Bear, I will be up there Sunday working during the day.

It would be nice to meet up with the group after the run in Big Bear.
