Re: SoCal check in

Re: SoCal check in
In the past we've used the Discovery Center or the Ranger station on the other side of the lake -- less crowded, lots of parking, and not in the middle of the village (which can be a nightmare on a Sat). The trail head for Gold Mtn is somewhere in the area of "A - 10" on the lower map including Baldwin Lake (select directions and maps, then select the printable version).
We could meet at the trail-head -- there's lots of room to park/air down if I remember correctly, I have a topo program so I could post the gps coordinates. It really doesn't matter to me -- just trying to stay away from crowds.

Re: SoCal check in
why don't we meet at the Discovery Center -- parking, restrooms, hookers, maps if you want them. It's on 38 about 5 or 6 miles before you hit the trail-head (between Fawnskin and the Stanfield cutoff). The Ranger Station is a 1/2 mile or so farther east on 38 (I only say this because I have adresses for both, but gps coord. for the Ranger Station only).
The adresses:
Big Bear Discovery Center
41397 North Shore Dr (HWY 38) 909-382-2790
Big Bear Ranger Station
41300 North Shore Dr (HWY 38) 909-866-3437
approx gps coord. -- N 34deg 15' 48" W 116deg 54' 03" (deg, min, sec)
Gold Mnt trailhead/HWY 38 -- approx N 34deg 16' 28" W 116deg 49' 10"
The time is up to you guys. Bring your recovery gear, tie-rods, and take off the side steps or the trail will do it for you!

If I wasn't clear, bring Red Bull -- you'll be amazed how tired you'll be on the 2.5 hours drive home -- once the adrenaline wore off... |

Re: SoCal check in
What channel on CB and FRS radios guys? Navigators gotta have this info!
Ronb, you still wanna caravan up the hill with us? Please post your cell phone number and/or radio numbers and we'll hook up with you when we get close to your exit. Will you be staged on the onramp?
