[DJ404564X4]

Maybe , goin to the Hammers Memorial Day see how my rides doin after that , otherwise I should be up there in the first week of August.

[EarlKann]

[RockinFJ]

I'd be up to go. Do you know the exact dates? I am just getting out of the military so I am going to have a bug for wheeling. I live up in Running Springs, so im a local..

i have a green sticker rig and have always worried about these kinda trails seeing there so many rangers around , how are you going to get away with it ?

[Po' riggity]

Ive got a toyota pickup that sits at home.. simple.. steal the license plate off of that, then don't act like a dumbass while wheeling, and HOPEFULLY, its all good.
Scott

[Po' riggity]

BTW, I will get back to you all with a date.. More than likely a Saturday, but if sundays work for most, we can make it a sunday morning...
Scott

[jedrattle]

I'm in!

[bodyman909]

The white one is mine and the black one is my bro,he's almost done with his exo.
I'm an outlaw baby...:grinpimp:


Lookin forward to wheelin with you guys.

[AZ Crawler]

I am new to So Cal from AZ. What exactly is the green sticker, can you tell me more?

[Po' riggity]

A green sticker is basically an off highway vehicle license. Depending on which DMV you go to, getting one for a buggy, or off road vehicle that USED to be an on highway rig, could prove to be difficult. I just got my green sticker/ohv license a few days ago. Not all of the local mountain trails are green sticker permitted, but some of them are. That being said, with a license plate that has a valid registration sticker on it, will most likely pass you by the rangers without them giving you a second glance.
Scott

[Po' riggity]

Ok guys.. How does June 9th sound? I actually don't know the trails THAT well, but I figured we could start in cedar glen, then see where it takes us from there. I figure we can meet in the cedar glen post office parking lot at like 7am... For those of you that don't know where that is, here is the address:

28982 hook creek road, Cedar Glen, CA,92321

You can google map it. Let me know who's in for it!
Scott

[RockinFJ]

sounds good, what kind of rig will you be in?? I will be in a blue FJ40 on 38's.:D

Thanks for the info. So are their trails posted that require this? If I have a buggy that is not licensed, do I have to get some kind of plate here in CA? Sorry for all the questions, in AZ it was pretty easy.

[surveyboy]

june 9th works for me as far as i can tell right now.

[Po' riggity]

The trails up here do have signs with vehicles on them that designate what types of vehicles can travel them.... I highly doubt the rangers would bother you if you had a CA DMV OHV sticker, on any of the trails up here. Basically, on your buggy, you would have to apply for a new title, and call the buggy a "sandrail" to get the OHV sticker. You then have to drag the buggy over to the local CHP office, and have them affix a "vin" to it. From there, you can get the new OHV title, with the new vin that the CHP affixed, and you will get a green sticker, which acts as a license plate for off highway vehicles. This sticker is good for 2 years. Cost on a 2 year sticker is $25. Any questions, PM me, or post here :) June 9th, its on. Cedar glen post office.. Be there. I will be in this:

Hey, I need to bring Shaun's powertank back to him before he leaves for Goldendale. We should try to make it one night for pizza or something, Lake Arrowhead Deli?

[Beat95YJ]

Is it possible to camp in the open area's in Big Bear? Ie the wide open area's on the holcomb etc?

[bodyman909]

the 9th should work for me...
I'll be in this.. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j97/bodyman909/IMG_0153.jpg

I don't know about camping in the open just anywhere, but there are individual "yellow post" camp sites that are along the trails. Some have fire rings, some even have pit toilets, some have nothing. Don't have anything more specific. I've heard that they can be reserved though. Check with the rangers or maybe Big Bear Discovery Center for more info.

[sabro]

I'm not gonna have my rig ready by then.... I need 98 different things on it right now...http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e281/sabrofoster/Hum-Lite/IMG_3706.jpg

[mjlogan88]

Might be able to get a few people together and make it up

[Po' riggity]

You tell me when Bro, and I will talk the wife into it. I'm always down for pizza and a beer.
Scott

[Po' riggity]

As far as camping in the open areas, I am not sure if thats possible or not. I will try to find out.
Scott

[Hammered Scout]

I'm putting it on my calender!

[jedrattle]

Lets go up Dishpan and on to Holcomb.

[Po' riggity]

That sounds fine to me. I am going to be driving my jeep on the street, even though I am not supposed to. I would like to stay as close to a cedar glen/lake arrowhead street exit as I can.

Scott

[RTA]

I would like to join you guy's too!

[TeenyCAR]

If I can get my pile done I'm in.

I really want to have the pos ready for this. We will see how we do though.

[bodyman909]

Looks like some fun was already had..Nice pics!
Depending on how much time we have I would like to do John Bull also..
Looks like we might have a big crew for this one!
I'm lookin forward to the 9th.

Don't have anything more specific. I've heard that they can be reserved though. Check with the rangers or maybe Big Bear Discovery Center for more info.

The Yellow Posts sites are first come first serve, no reservations. Info I lifted from http://www.bigbear.us/camping.html:

Yellow Post Sites

There eighteen Yellow Post Sites scattered around the Big Bear valley. They are located in remote areas, on back roads and trails, usually out of sight of other campers and vehicle traffic. Consequently, not all are accessible with the family sedan.

Most sites have picnic tables, fire rings and parking. Campfires are allowed all year as long as the fire remains within the fire ring. There are no water or toilet facilities. There is no fee to camp in Yellow Post Sites, but each vehicle must have an Adventure Pass. All of these sites are on a strictly "First Come, First Served" basis. To occupy a space, you need to register at the Big Bear Discovery Center on the day you plan to camp, and pick up a California Campfire Permit, which is free. Bring your own firewood.
Permit Needed:

* Registration with Discovery Center
* California Fire Permit
* Adventure Pass (for any vehicle parked in the forest)

Fires: Campfires are allowed all year as long as the fire stays within the designated fire rings.

[surveyboy]

yeah, it looks like its gonna be a good time.

gonna go thru the jeep this weekend and make sure everything is good for the trip.

[Po' riggity]

Hey Shaun, How was the comp last weekend?
Scott
EDIT: I am going to grab a 1 day adventure pass at the forest ranger office, just incase we "stop" for any extended period of time.

[Po' riggity]

One more thing.. I am thinking we should meet around 7-8am... is anyone thinking later than that?

I'm thinking that more than a few of these people are coming from down the hill so 7 might be a bit early for them. I'd vote for 8 myself, but suggest that those coming up should chime in.

[Po' riggity]

works for me.. those that have a bit of a drive, let us mountain folk know what time to meet over in cedar glen :)
Scott

[jedrattle]

[bodyman909]

I'll be comin from down the hill...8:00am sounds good!
Right now its 2 nissans and 1 jeep.
So how far is the Dishpan trail head from the post office?

[EarlKann]

Maybe 5-minutes up Hook Creek Rd.

[Po' riggity]

Yup, Donald is right.. its about a 5 minute drive. I wouldn't stress about it TOO much if your rigs aren't street legal. I plan on driving mine to the post office from my house (about 6 miles) then from the post office to the trail head, and back home again when we are done... And Im green stickered. I have an extra vehicle here so I will take the license plate off of it just to be on the "safe" side, and attach it to the jeep.. Should keep the cops from looking too much.
Scott

[RockinFJ]

I thought we were meeting at the front of the post office at 0700? I think this is going to be fun!

[EarlKann]

I thought we were meeting at the front of the post office at 0700? I think this is going to be fun!

Make that 0800 for the DTH folks.

Perhaps us UTH people might like to meet for breakfast first? Or even the DTH'ers that get up extra early?

[Po' riggity]

yup, lets make it 0800... Im now wondering if I should flat tow the jeep to the parents house, unhook, meet you all at the post office, and then hook back up for the quick drive home... The jeep is not unless its hooked to the truck, and with my luck, I'd get into an accident on the 6 mile drive lol...
Scott

[Po' riggity]

Don't know whats open that early on a Saturday Donald... I was going to suggest the cedar glen inn right by the post office, but I don't think it will be open that early. The only place I can think of that would be open that early would be Mcdonalds in blue jay:barf:

Scott

[bodyman909]

Ok so 0800 at the post office..I'm gonna leave redlands at 7:00 so that should give me plenty of time to get up there.I'll probably grab somethin to eat on the way up.
Dont forget drinking water..
Im over due for some good wheelin!

[RockinFJ]

sounds good then, 0800 it is. I don't think anything is open that early either. For the guys with the green stickers it probably wouldn't be a wise idea to go to blue jay for MD's! I'll just grab something on the way out. I live in Springs so its all good.

[surveyboy]

hey don, is the post office right around the corner from were we met last time at Jensons???

and the post office is right near the cedar inn right?? that place has a pretty large parking lot if i recall. there's a guy i know thinking of bringing up his and his brothers rig on his duece and flatbed trailer and i'm trying to figure out a place for him to park.

Yup, just up Hook Creek around one turn from Jensens. I believe it is called the Chef's Inn now. There is a pretty large parking lot and there should be plenty of room for a truck/trailer at that time in the morning.

[surveyboy]

do you think they will complain if it there all day while we're gone???

cool, looking forward to the last run in this setup with the jeep :)

Hard to tell. I don't know how busy that place gets on a weekend during the day. I'd probably do it if it were me. Just find a spot as far away from the store fronts as possible.

what are you doing this sunday the 3rd??? wanna run Cleghorn???

Do you so cal guys get together like this fairly often?
When you do are newbies who dont have a clue welcome? gotta learn somehow.......I've been in the business for a long time I've just never had a Jeep until now that I can take to the trails.I almost have my CJ ready to go, just need a few more days with nothing else to do and she'll be ready to take out on our first date.

lol, you're welcome to come up!!!! heck, EarlKann and Po'righty have lived up here for like 10+ years each and they barely know the trails :laughing:

come on up

the trails aren't the hardest in the world by a long shot, but, its fun to just tool around in the mountains during the summertime

[CJ'sSuck]

Im pretty confident that I wont have a few spare days to get my Jeep ready by then,thats why I was asking if you guys get together like this often.I'd love to though.

well, there's always someone running the trails around here. my rig is going down in about two weeks to get a new sup. under it, so i'm out for a bit.

but, post up when you're ready and i'm sure someone would be down for a trip.

Cool

[RockinFJ]

How about that dirt parking lot near the bottom of Hook Creek, right before the trail???

[EarlKann]

How about that dirt parking lot near the bottom of Hook Creek, right before the trail???

I believe that you have to display a forest adventure pass to park there, and it isn't as big as the paved lot at the post office. Otherwise it is another option. Last time I went through there on Memorial Sat afternoon it was pretty packed in the dirt area.

I had to LOL at the irony of your post and your user name.:laughing:
Of course newbs are welcome. Big Bear is probably one of the better places for newbs early runs. If you're inclined to come anyway there are usually some open seats to be found. Of course the rigless are often made to be official photographers.

I should be able to. I'll double check and let you know. I've got a pretty bad death wobble with the new tires, but I think that I've figured out a trick to drive through it.

You thinking of running up the 15 to the bottom and running it uphill?

[surveyboy]

lol, yeah yeah yeah. give me a call sometime tomorrow if you can.

did you get the tires balenced???

and yeah, the thought of running it was from the 15 up to silverwood.

I'm going to try and get up there for this, but cant guarantee it - depends on how much I can get done through the week on the house (its for sale & open house the following weekend). If I can make it I'll be in this:

[gabepari]

Ran down dishpan today on a motorcycle. First I've seen of it since breaking my collarbone 15 years ago there on my mountain bike :mad3:

There was a full size Bronco stuck on the last rock garden at the top. No other rigs around and the guy and his girl were walking to the top to get help. Might still be there next weekend :shaking:

Anyway, I'm a newbie at this and was thinking about going. I have a Sami with 5" shackle reverse (calmini special), 31" with backspace, 5.14 Tcase gears, and a fire breathing romp-stompin 1.3 liter 60hp monster under the hood :mr-t:

Is this run doable without lockers? Looks like it might be hard to get traction with all the dirty rock. Ran Calico at HDR, but just went downhill mostly, so not sure how my rig climbs with open diffs.

Will be getting a spool for the rear and probably an autolocker for the front soon, but not for a few more weeks.

Thanks for any info.

There are a few spots where you may have to chose your line but I'd say to go ahead and come out. At worst there are enough of us that we can strap or winch you if you get hung up.

StacEy said she wants to go, and since I only have two seats, I won't have an extra. Gabe, bring it up, I have seen lots of stock sami's go through the same stuff we are doing with no problem. Worst case scenario, someone has a winch or a strap :) I carry a strap with my all the time.

I know that JedRattle's wife wanted to come, but she didn't want to be the only girl.

If we are going to try to get 3-trails in then we should all pack a lunch. It isnt hot like dth but it does get warm up here during the day so bring enough water/drinks also. I personally don't usually drink on the trail, but I'm not a nazi about it as long as you can keep yourself under control. Any stupid drunkenness and I don't know you anymore.

[EarlKann]

Oh, and even if the wife and kid do come I'll still have one back seat open. I'll probably take the roof off so it isn't too hard to get in and out.

[EarlKann]

Hey all, this is Melanie. Scott, I will try and cancel my prior commiments. I have already paid for the event, but I will see if I can reschedule if you guys will go to breakfast. If I can find a place open at 6:30 then who's game? I will call the cottage and a few other locations within blue jay/ rim forest or arrowhead. That includes Shaun, Lisa, Scott your wife and anyone else in the area. :spam:

we're prolly bringing lunch stuff and lots of water with us in the rig.

Melanie reports that The Cottage in Rim Forrest is open at 6am. I don't think that I've ever been there so I don't know how fast the service is. I'm thinking that 6:30 should be early enough to get in and out in time to make Cedar Glenn before 8:00.

[~vixen~]

Hey don, thanks....lol.....And thanks Shaun for moving me to another vehicle...shows where I rank.......Do I get to pick what rig???? and driver???
Service at The Cottage is pretty good. Usually gets a little crowded, but later. We shouldn't have any trouble at the crack of dawn!

I like Mel's idea that if we go to breakfast, she will come, blackmail.....haha

My g/f is a cute girl, and single.

Oh sh*t..... look who registered.:laughing: He's a dead man now.

Well it looks like Melanie will have to come now. Guess I'll have to find a single guy for your cute friend. Of course you and/or your friend are welcome in my rig anytime. I'll leave it up to you two to decide who it is.

[~vixen~]

yep, Mel has to come...run wouldn't be the same without her. Deb, my friend and Mel will get along really good. Boy, are you guys in trouble!!!!
If there is a single dude there that wants to take her, that will be good too.
Whatever... Why is Shaun a dead man now? I thought that happened to him the minute he met me! hahaha

and i had a noble reason for trading your seat honest. i was try to be a nice guy!!!

didn't want Deb to be uncomfortable and i was gonna have you ride with people you knew!!!

good intentions honest!! :laughing:

[Po' riggity]

Aye carumba Shaun, you're in trouble now! I just got done cleaning out the jeep... Looks all bling now at least on the inside. The cottage will work for me. I don't know if StacEy will want to get up that early, but she does want to go wheelin. Problem really is the fact that she has the first of 4 cpa exams coming up and she needs to study. We will see. At the very least, I will be there, and I will be at breakfast, I just might have to swing by my house to pick up StacEy for the wheelin if she doesn't want to go to breakfast.

I had to LOL at the irony of your post and your user name.:laughing:
Of course newbs are welcome. Big Bear is probably one of the better places for newbs early runs. If you're inclined to come anyway there are usually some open seats to be found. Of course the rigless are often made to be official photographers.

Ok, guys, quick update. I will now have an empty seat if anyone wants to roll with me..errr.. I mean ride with me :D StacEy has to study for her CPA exam which is in a couple of weeks, so she won't be going. I will be though, and plan on breakfast with you guys. Did we decide on the cottage at 6:30am? I have no problem getting the jeep up there, but will have to get stuck in between the street legal rigs for the drive to cedar glen. Hopefully my pos cooperates and runs well :P I checked over everything today, and it seems to be in running shape LOL.

Hey guys be nice to the Broncos on the trail. You'll probably run into a bunch of them!: http://www.socalbroncos.net/bbbb

There'll be a group on Dishpan (coming in from the Crab Flats end at about 9:30 or 10:00) that shouldn't give you much trouble but if you move on to Holcomb you might get caught in a clusterfuck as there will be several large groups on that trail that day. Just a heads up, have fun!

Thanks for the heads up Dusty. I was actually expecting it to be really busy on Memorial Day weekend and it wasn't. Maybe we will have the same luck again.

EDIT: Just saw that the IE4wheelers club Big Bear Forrest Fest is the following weekend. Dodged a bullet on that one. :D

[EarlKann]

I'm thinking that we could use a roll call for who is actually coming. Both for the run and my little BBQ thing. That way we know how many to expect for the start at Cedar Glenn post office [so we don't leave without you] and how many will be coming to my place after.

If you are for sure coming please post up. Scott, maybe you could keep track and edit the first post in the thread with a list of who has RSVP'd.

[Po' riggity]

Sure thing Don, I will edit as we go. First off, I will be there for sure for the wheeling, but not sure on the bbq. I will update the first thread with a roll call as we go. So..

Of course, if we aren't really gonna be stopping....

I already have one in the 4runner. I didn't think that it was an issue unless you are parked and AWAY from your vehicle.

[surveyboy]

i honestly doubt they'd give us crap if were there eating lunch next to the rigs, but, if we don't scratch the days off, you can keep it for later too.

[Po' riggity]

well, there is the main usfs office in san bernardino, so I can probably take a few minutes on friday and head over there for a permit... Shaun, I will try to get over there today, and will let you know tonight if I can get one. If I can get one today, do you want me to pick up one for you?
Scott

[Dusty]

You only really need the adventure pass if you leave the rig parked and unattended. If you're WITH it, such as stopped for eating lunch or to BS, you're OK. We've been stopped for lunch many times without the passes and the rangers don't say anything about it (including at T6 just a few weeks ago), even though they'll stop to BS about the rigs or hassle us about parking too far off the trail. I usually keep a pass on the tow rig for when I leave it parked at a staging area but the trail rig doesn't really need it.

Have fun guys, maybe I'll run into you up there.

well, glad to see that you guys still ended up having some fun yesterday. at 1:30 i think we had just about gotten to the start of holcomb.

yeah, lots of bronco guys and damn those guys got some nice looking rigs.

[Po' riggity]

Sorry to hear about the nissan guys misfortunes, but I'm glad they were able to get back on the trail :) Looks like they had some fun after a new DS was put in. On a side note, I decided yesterday that I'm going to start saving for PROPANE.. Fawk that damn carb. I'd be willin to bet the jeep will run a lot better with some pane!

Don, thanks for trail leading!!! you did a fine job :)

Well, except for that one wrong turn at the very beginning. :emb2: In case you weren't in front, this is why we all had to back up.

I have the pics of you at the beginning of Holcomb. From the rear and side, but none from the front. I will give Shaun a disc for you. Then we can meet for dinner so he can not give it to you! :D Actually, I could just stop by now that I know where you live. hahahaha.....:laughing:

And, Scott, it was a great time. Thanks everybody for making the day awesome!!! Can't wait to do it again. Shaun is just gonna have to finish that rig before summer is over. It might be nice for me to see another trail besides Dishpan and Holcomb !:flipoff2:
I'm glad that the nissan boys got to do some wheeling! Look forward to you guys joining us through next time :)

Had a great time meeting all of you.

See ya in the dirt. :smokin:

I learned my lesson last time. This time I have his sunglasses to hold hostage. I'm not handing them over till I get my disk. :laughing::flipoff2:

[AZ Crawler]

Man that looks like a great trip. New to CA and looking forward to getting out and checking these out. I will watch for the next trip and hope to meet some of you. I just picked up a rig that is not licensed or street legal. Do you guys usually drive to these trails or does anyone trailer to off road spots?

[RockinFJ]

Earl Kann,
Thanks for posting up those pics of me man. They look great! Had a good time wheeling with you. Thanks for sharing.:beer::beer::D:D Till next time.

Technically all the trails in Big Bear are for registered, street legal rigs only. As Scott was saying, his is green sticker (off hwy only) but still looks like a regular jeep so he probably wouldn't have been hastled. I don't know that you would be able to get away with a full buggy or not.

A few people trailered their rigs up there. The problem with that is that there are few places to park a truck/trailer for the day, and in our case, we didn't finish the trail very close to where we started. It would have been possible to take dirt roads back, but it was easier for most to just take the hwy back to where the trailers were left. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if we had started and finished in Big Bear which is very do-able.

[EarlKann]

You're welcome. We enjoyed meeting/wheeling with you also. My stepson and I sometimes get bored and go run stuff by ourselves. Hit me up if you get the itch to go run something real fast sometime.

3053 you know the rest:flipoff2:

[Dusty]

yeah, lots of bronco guys and damn those guys got some nice looking rigs.

Hey I gave you guys fair warning :) We had about 125 rigs at the Big Bear Bronco Bash this weekend. Hope to wheel with you guys sometime on a quieter weekend.

We ran into several groups of Broncos plus some other groups. Everyone was very polite and patient. I was actually a little surprised, I was out on Memorial Weekend and this trip way WAY busier.

Hope to see you next time Dusty.

[Po' riggity]

So... When can we start planning the next one, so maybe I can actually make it? I'm still pissed I was feelin like crap, but I gotta tell you, it was good for everyone's sake that I passed, and went home.. It was just a BAD BAD day for me.
Scott

[Po' riggity]

BTW, what happened to the discussion of running Lisa's 4runner through dishpan at 40 mph? I guess her running boards are all still in tact huh?
:flipoff2:
Scott

[EarlKann]

Cleghorn? You're the one that always has to work Scott.:flipoff2:

[surveyboy]

well, her runner is the only thing that i'm gonna wheel anytime soon :laughing:

i say we do cleghorn in about september :laughing:

[lv2baja]

Had a good time with this group, i'd be down for another run, if its local i'd do sooner.:D

[Po' riggity]

Cleghorn would be doable, but I run into the problem of towing my junk out there, running the trail, then trying to get my junk back to where my trailer is LOL...
Scott

[surveyboy]

Scott
if you're mostly worried about that, you can access cleghorn from the siliverwood side. instead of comming in off of the 15, you come off the 138 near the railroad tracks area just before 138 gets twisty again and head south on the dirt. that road meets the part that starts from the 15 where the real part of the hard sections of the trail start.

then all you have to do after you finish the trail is loop from the last turn out by the lake, down 138. what's that 4-5 miles?? or park your trailer there in the morning and drive that first.

[KRAWLER76]

i'm down lets's do it:D
