SoCal Meet and Greet - Arrowhead/Big Bear - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

JeepRecoveryTeam · 06-29-2003, 11:36 PM

The date has been set as the first weekend in August. My house is close enough to the trail that even the semi-streetable

can stage there and be fine. Just gots to work out the details.

It started out being a bbq with some buds to welcome my Dad to Cali. It's since grown

and looks like we're gonna have a full on party up here.

So who's down and who's interested in crashing. We can either do the full-on camping thing or I've got a couple lines on some big ol party cabins. I'll take care of this end based upon the feedback here.

Bring it

Dave

Voted cabin, but can easily do the camping thing. I'll be on hold for the trip til the other half decides. (Not to mention, I work Sundays, so I'll cut it a bit short anyways.)

bobbed83toy · 06-30-2003, 12:05 AM

i voted for the camping?? i have a pop up tent trailer and will tow it with my truck just need a small space to put it.. you saw it.. it was the one todd used at tds when all the chairs were stacked in front of

surveyboy · 06-30-2003, 08:46 AM

can do the cabin thing, or the camping thing. just need a place to park the truck and trailer. I think getting a camping area close enough for this large of a gang would be harder than a cabin. although parking for everyone is still gonna be a bitch!

Drunk tank · 06-30-2003, 09:08 AM

whatever....

Cabin would be kick ass though!

SanDiegoCJ · 06-30-2003, 09:11 AM

I voted for the cabin, but can do the camping thing too.
Hey CDF................................. "GOT FIRE".

Nah, I drive mine from my house to the trail all the time and don't have a problem, it's only about a mile from my house to the trail on all back and dirt roads.

I still remember "hiding" Ramstiens rock buggy "Grape Nutz"
in the middle of a group of vehicles for the drive on HWY 38
from Holcomb Creek to Fawnskin. He got lots a stares from
the "street cars" on the highway.

It was fun being right behind him with his full hydro steering. Good thing he wasn't seen, the cops would've thought he was drunk.

JeepRecoveryTeam · 06-30-2003, 12:15 PM

OK, made some calls. I can get a house that sleeps 16 for $550 for the weekend. That works out to around $35 per person for the weekend. My house has got space (sorry not beds) for at least 8 more. So we have room for 24 that way or I can reserve some camping sites up towards Big Bear. I just talked to the USFS and they haven't started the fire ban yet

. Which as a resident scares the poopies out of me. I'll let this go for a little while longer and then make the reservations one way or the other. The deposit for the house is 350 which I'll swing until y'all arrive.

d

Edit: my house is across the street from USFS land, I think we can throw some tents up there for overflow.

Non-street legal will be fine.

Since I can't commit yet, I'll say two, but I'll take last dibs and camp if I have to.

jca · 06-30-2003, 06:20 PM

I didnt vote. I can do camping or cabin. Camping might even be better. I am probably going to have to tow the rig with the motorhome anyway unless I just drive the Bronco up. Wife has to work that weekend, so she is looking for someone to switch with her. Cabin is sounding real good if it has the hot tub

How far is the camping from the trail? How far is the possible cabbin from the trail?

SanDiegoCJ · 06-30-2003, 06:42 PM

One person here. Cabin or camping,
either's fine with me.

JeepRecoveryTeam · 06-30-2003, 07:23 PM

The cabin I found does not have a hot tub

. It's about .5 mile from my house and about a 1.5 to the trail. We would need to stage the trail only rigs at my place because it's pretty high profile around the cabin (more like a house by the golf course).

Camping would be ON the trail potentially at Crab Flats or up out of Fawnskin.

d

Edit: I also need to take in account those with motorhomes and trailers. Maybe Crabflats is the call.

mobil1syn · 06-30-2003, 07:35 PM

of all the weekends in the summer you pick that one ... wish i could go but have plans.

So Crabflats has room for my motorhome and trailer? If so that is my vote

Mr Roxy · 06-30-2003, 09:35 PM

I am up for anything, would think camping would be better as we can be as loud as we want and not worry, now just need to finish my rig.....lol. I vote for big pines in big bear so JC can get the rolling mansion in there.

To get to Big Pine Flats, go to the middle of nowhere and hang a left

It's up in the Big Bear Area out past Fawnskin. Past the exit of Holcomb Creek. The good thing is Holcomb, White Mtn and John Bull are within a few miles. It's at least 45 minutes from my house. I'll get reservations tomorrow.
