Well, I have not seen anyone post up and trail runs yet so I am going to. I am helping with the Dutch oven competition, so I am going to keep this to a small group, and an easy trail so I can get back in time. I am not positive of the exact route I am taking yet, but it will most likely be Clarks Grade. Clarks Grade was an early toll road leading into the Big Bear valley, and is listed as black diamond, but it is not a big deal, just a fire road with switch backs. I pulled the trailer up it a couple of weeks ago, and it is in great shape. Here is a little history of Clarks Grade http://www.bigbearhistorysite.com/big-bear-historical-articles/roads-into-big-bear/

I guarantee I might have an idea of where we are going by the time we leave, if not, I will fake it. Either way we will probably make it back to camp

Maybe I should buy one? Where does one buy a fire extinguisher?
