RandyKTM530EXC 0 Posted August 5, 2010 I would like to go, probably for the full weekend and, or drive up Friday. I road the Big Bear Run in June and have the GPS coordinates for both easy and difficult. Perhaps someone can use them to build ours. I have a Tundra pickup or can carpool with someone with a truck or trailer. At this point I see I will have to use the Yellowpass site to park. I am a big-time snore bear so will probably camp in a tent away from the fait of heart. I have some ice chests, and white gas Coleman stove if interested.

Guest Crusty Posted August 18, 2010 I am sad to say that I am unable to make it to the Coon Cabin Ride. Please take my name and another car off the list and allow another person to fill the spot. Crusty will still ride and camp on his adventure bike. Thank you. Crusty's significant other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strega 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Saw this from BBTR today: Big Bear Trail Riders 1st Annual Family Picnic will be held at Meadow Park in Big Bear Lake, Ca 92315 on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. BBTR will provide the food, drinks and activities for you, your family and guest. Please register on the website or you can call Jackie Nicholson 626-255-0269. Please have the number of people attending and the kids ages. Come enjoy a great day in the park with family and friends. This family picnic will be considered our September monthly meeting. Thank you and hope to see you all at the park. Jim and Jackie Nicholson I think it might be fun to stop in and say hello. I know I'll be at the 9am meeting, but maybe on my ride back to camp I'll stop by the park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted August 20, 2010 I don't know if there's a waiting list but someone can have my spot. 1 person, 1 vehicle - out. I just got reassigned at work and will have a dif schedule. Can't make it work for this trip. Thx Deb for all the logistics - outstanding planning! Wish I could go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted August 20, 2010 If there is still room, I am going to see if I can make it. Deb, still room ? sweet, glad you can make it...as discussed, I'll put you down for riding up, and getting someone to transport the little bike.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted August 20, 2010 OK, I'm planning on going up. Would like to ride the 950 up, but still have the little bike for the difficult trails if anyone does them. Anyone got room for my 640 in their truck ?? I have to get a couple things fixed on the 640 before this trip. Anyone else going to ride up ?? I'll probably leave Friday afternoon and get up there Friday night, take all the back roads thru Santa Ysable, Warner Springs, Idyllwild, then up the mountain.

ADV Bum 205 Posted August 25, 2010 I am running into more problems with my Sportsmobile. Testing the waters to see if any drivers are interested in carpooling with me. I will take the Dodge crewcab and the toyhauler. As much as it would be interesting to ruff it, I bought that little toyhauler for a reason. I would be going up early Fri afternoon and returning Sun evening. Please pm if interested so I can see how much effort to put into the Sportsmobile. It is still my first choice.

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted August 25, 2010 Excellent Deb! You've already answered most of the questions I had about the cabin in your first post update. Thanks for being on top of this event, it's going to be a blast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted August 25, 2010 OK....I have 20 tracks (garmin limit)...in 3 gdb files....so if you want to upload all of them, empty all your tracks first... I haven't riden 100% of these, but there is a variety of terrain all over Big Bear, easy fire road stuff, and diffucult stuff...some close on south side, some on North side.....including the sweet singletrack Johnnybags, Steve and Pyro found last week (near cabin, btw -thanks for that track Pyro).... I will also have printed maps of tracks, maps of forest roads and directions to cabin available this saturday....Something there for all levels.... Great idea to carpool, hope that works : toyhauler would be cool..if the bears come, we can all hide in there:blink: ...I'd carpool with you, but I'm going up first thing friday morning .......takes 2 1/2-3 hours to get to cabin...closest route from south would be highway 10 to 38, Right at Heartbar onto 1N02, 5 miles to cabin.... Please all keep in mind....any trailer towed counts as an additional vehicle by Nat. forest standards....we are limited to the 14 vehicles as listed on first post..........but after unloading, we can also put 2 additional vehicles over at Johnnybags yellow post, just up the road.....

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted August 29, 2010 Baldbeemer and I are going to bring our toybox trailer. If anyone wants to do this ride but doesn't have a truck to haul their bike up with we have plenty of room for you. If anyone wants to ride their bikes up and needs someone to haul their gear up we have plenty of room for that too. Or if anyone who's already signed up wants to carpool. Also don't forget to get your $$$$ to DSFox if you haven't done so already. So far she's got a carne asada dinner planned for us for Friday night and pulled pork sammies with all the fixins for Saturday night. YUM!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnybags 0 Posted August 31, 2010 I'm officially set up. YellowPost #18. 3.8 miles from the end of pavement. (.8) from Cabin Desrt dash shirt hanging on tent Buju Banton Way sign by fire pit. (remnants for an annual music/camping festival) On your left just .8 miles before the cabin. My picturesque 'Cottage' style tent is visible on your left just off and a little above the road in a nicely raised terraced camp spot. (Sorry, No pictures. YET) Coolers are stocked and available for the exchange program. Need a beer, take a beer, leave a beer. Forestry department just raised the fire danger and stricter fire regs. No camp fires, charcoal or wood at YellowPosts Propane stoves: permit required Fires still allowed at established campgrounds and I assume the pay spots like our cabin? So far I have fairly good reception in the area. A little spotty but good. (Verizon) 619-241-3268 Johnnybags John Arelt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted September 1, 2010 Nice John....Thanks... Wish I was up there already too.....plans coming along nicely....will shop for food and supplies early next week.....looking to be about 21 of us, 14 vehicles....not counting any day riders that come by....which I know there are a few camping elsewhere..... Mistress and Baldbeemer will have the toyhauler....(maybe xl650bum also)......so we'll have at least one generator...and a laptop to upload gps on site....I have map packets made up of all the track files, as well as the forest roads, etc.....also they have offered to carry supplies up for those riding up....let them know.... If anyone wants better directions to get there, let me know.... REMEMBER: Everyone bring ALL the water you need, MOST of the gas you need, and all your camping gear for the weekend....stores are not nearby..... DAY RIDERS: If you want to eat dinner with us, please let me know, so I can plan on meal numbers.... CAMPERS: I've talked to most of you, please remember to send or drop your checks off for food shopping..... I'm hoping to be off work Friday next week, and head up early or even thursday night.

baldbeemer 0 Posted September 1, 2010 The toybox has a 120 gal fresh water tank, so we will have extra if needed. (we'll only charge $5 to use the flush toilet ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
