Nope, change of plans made reservations a month ago... high of 50 and 90% chance of rain... I’ll try this again for July I'm not camping at Crab Flats this weekend. The plan was to explore fire roads south of Big Bear before looping through town and back to the campground. All skill levels and bike types welcome, mostly dirt. Lunch on the trail, will adapt route and ride to skill level/bikes involved. Flexible kickstands up and meeting points.

It was a good ride. I did learn unless you are a moto god don't do the trail to wright mine. The "road" is all mine tailings way to lose to get any traction on to come back out. All the other areas I hit up were good fun. Experienced big bike riders I think could enjoy it all, new big bikes riders might find parts a little tough/intimidating.

I'm planning to trailer up and park at the crab flats trail head. Easy fire roads newbie and big bike welcome. Kickstand up at 9:00. 40 Mike loop plus some side trails depending on the group. Trail head Dropped Pin near Crab Flats Rd, Green Valley Lake, CA 92341 https://goo.gl/maps/KeUy9sZYjyB2 6195079862

I'm not plannig to go into gnarly area this time. My plan is 2N54, 2N13, 2N80?, 3N14, 3N12, 3N16 Possibly 3N11 to Wright mine Mostly fire roads, The wright mine portion is the hardest part planned. It's not real rough or loose, but is a long hill with a steep drop off. It's video is from the mine out. Start to 2:11 is the mine trail, the second part of the video is 3N17 heading East

Husky TE 511. My trailer is tiny only room for one bike.

Yep just day tripping

Exit pine valley, head south park before it turns to dirt. About a 50 mile loop

Kickstand up at 8:00am. Mix of dirt and street. Meet at cul de sac 6195079862

Thanks to WCGIV for posting this up. We had a great day. 2 Husky's exploring Ocotillo wells. Tracklog, and videos. http://adventures.garmin.com/en-US/by/johndoegeneric/sdar-2-11-17/#.WKCpxxIrJE4

I'm in, post up where you camp. I'll come out in the morning. I'm on a TE511.

every time I open web page i'm logged out again, doesn't matter which device, or browser. I'll poke around more see if it's something strange in my settings. <shrug>

Password failure. Every time I visit the site my password is not valid again... even if it's the same one I used 20 minutes ago.

I've not been up in that area for a while and was surprised at how rough the main road from Pine Vally was. How does Kernan compare in difficulty? Thinking about heading that way next weekend or possibly do the Loop up through Laguna. On another Note planning on getting busy with the club again. Got busy with other stuff, and now want to focus on more day trip rides.

The radio is the Baofeng UV5r. Baofeng has put out a few similar models now each with slightly different frequency ranges or antenna the widest range and longest antenna can be picked up from amazon for 35 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-5R-Plus-Royal-Blue/dp/B00CXNQ6AK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422820667&sr=8-3&keywords=baofeng+qualette Not a bad package deal. I did have an issue with the helmet set having a bad solder joint, and bad insulation in the knuckle where everything splices.

those both look pretty nice, I use the Ion air pro2 so far happy with it. http://www.amazon.com/ION-Air-Pro-Wi-Fi-Camcorder/dp/B00CKPMHSQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1422640551&sr=1-1&keywords=ion+air+pro2

EastcountyKTM and I did a 78 mile loop around South Anza-Borrego. I learned that I can go about 70 miles before the low fuel light comes on, about 75 and it starts missing. I did plan ahead and had an MSR bottle with me. I went down pretty good in a silt pocket, a little sore and bruised up this morning, but nothing major. Bike looks fine and started right up after. It'll get a good inspection this after noon. 2 pics to tease with, GPS track and video later.

1. Drag and drop operation... if your video is Geotagged it will be placed in the map automatically. 2. I don't know if you can DL it directly from the website, but you can get it here... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6JX-m5eUMmzZWx5OWFxR1Zibm8/view?usp=sharing 3. I have an On spot attached to the shoulder strap of my backpack for SOS, and use a Garmin Zumo 350 for nav and route tracking. There have been notable issues with an SOS device attached to the bike rather than the rider. Make sure you can get to it if separated from the machine, or injured with it in my backpack I wasn't sure I could get to it to push the buttons if I was actually hurt. Now it sits in easy reach on the left strap of my pack.

We trailered out, parked in the dirt lot by the Cheveron in Ocotillo. Made for a 78 mile loop.

Meet at the gas station in Ocotillo CA 9:00. Run down the concrete highway, swing by Dos Cabesas, head out Pepcorn slot, over to Csnyon Sin Nombre, and points beyond... Lots of sand, moderate pace, all skill levels welcome

The long ride it is then, see you in the AM

Almost tempting to leave the bike home and just take the Wrangler out.

Just finished route checking, depending on who's there and what they're up for either... down diablo, out fish creek and around approximately 75 miles or across Stagecoach overland route, and back around approximately 45 miles.

Basically depending on fuel levels and riders

One of my favorite rides...rumor has it that the area is now a "plated area" only I can verify there is a Sign with the Though Shall have Plates commandment
