So what's going on next weekend?

[RonB]

Ron B

[wilfred]

I am! I have no plans all weekend anyways So just let me know which day and where are we meeting?

H2Finally, do you want to meet at my place and caravan to where ever the meeting spot is? I am sure you will somewhat pass by anyway?

[H2Finally]

Sounds good Wil!

Sat (5/27) ok with you? Ron? Neo? Hmrlvr?

This is one of those trails you gotta keep to a small group to get through in reasonable time. So if anyone else wants to come, say so now!

[wilfred]

5/27 sat ok with me!

[RonB]

Sat is good for me.

[H2Finally]

Let's make this a family event... H1, H2, H3???

[NEOCON1]

sorry but we cant make it . if anyone comes up north of the 101 anytime let me know i was looking for something a little closer , after seeing the H1 with the busted paw , i think i should do something a little more mellow for my first run with the new front diff . sorry looking forward to pismo or something sooner up this way .

[RonB]

do not fear, you will be in good hands...the last thing we want is for anyone to break anything. The "broken paw" was a ball joint failure -- long over-due for a change. Once we had a replacement balljoint, it was up and running in less than an hour.

H2Finally & RonB, please check your Private Messages.

Neocon1, let us know if you change your mind. If it makes you feel any better, I am definitely not an experienced offroader by any means so I will not be doing anything crazy. Not to mention I am bringing my wife and 11 months old

Not gonna happen for me. To far away. Also, no UCP. By the pictures, I'd be walking to work on Monday if tried that. I'll hold out till Pismo or watch for something a little less aggressive.
Thanks guys, Have a good time.

[NEOCON1]

before i totally bail on this run where is the trail head ? is it off the 210 how far east ? i am thinking i may come now ACTUALLY I am coming darla just said ok so where do i meet you at ?

[NEOCON1]

Desert Dan & BABHUMV , where you guys at !!!!!!! lets get some more three's for this run , socal 3's check in dudes

[H2Finally]

OUTSTANDING!!

Since you'll be coming in from 101, you may want to convoy with Ron (he's somewhere on 101). I'm sure he'll check in soon.

The trail head is somewhere in Big Bear (you enter from Gold Mountain warm up trail). It should take you about 2.5 hours (takes me that long too from South Bay). Whenever the drive starts to drag on, just think of all the cool pics you'll be able to post. Heck, you'll prob be the first H3 ever at John Bull!

Wilfred & I will prob convoy. Perhaps we can all meet at Big Bear Tourist Center? (can't remember if you need to buy the park pass for day trip -- but if we must, that's where you can get em at). 9am ish? Ron?

Bring food, liquid, energy bar/ drink (4 hours NON-STOP ROCKS -- YEEHAWW!! ). Gloves too (did I mention rocks?). CB to BS, and camera to shoot the "HUH??!! " faces when the heavily-modded drivers see us in the middle of the trail..

(Other H3ers, remember, you MUST have u/c protection to survive JBT!)

[H2Finally]

Oh, I forgot, bring sunglasses -- my rig is blinged-to-the-max (you've been warned.. )

But he wheels it like it was stolen.

[NEOCON1]

sweet i may be the only 3 we will see who else is up for it on short notice havent been up to big bear in years this will be cool

[RonB]

Hi guys,
it will be fun. I promise lots of smiles and a few puckered butts. Take off the side steps!

The Gold Mt trail-head is right off the 18, on the north side of the lake a few miles east of Big Bear. Gold Mt. will take a few hours and lead us to John Bull. JB is also a few hours assuming no drama.

Neocon, I'm next to Universal Studios, so we can convoy. But be warned...I'm a slow-poke, so you won't hurt my feeling if you'd rather meet farther down the road (maybe if we leave our houses at the same time you'll catch-up/pass me close to the 15?!).
