Most likely going to make this one a day trip on Sat. Depending on the date which is? :dunno: Robert I ran Calico with you, I have run Gold Mountain and Jacoby Canyon and been on all the forest trails up there, time to try something new. What would you suggest? Fish, Tish, and Bama

[Gerr]

may 4th-6th Fish

You can handle most the stuff up there with little problem

[fish1976]

Nope can even make this one a day trip,:bawl: the 5th and 6th wont work for me, gotta be down in San Diego. Any one that wants to run Big Bear in the mean time or in the after time Pm me and well see what we can do.:thumbup:

Hey Fish,

I will probably pre-run Holcomb Creek and/or Dishpan Springs within the next few weeks.

I will post up next week. Go to do a little work on the XJ. We still have to get Odette's TJ up there and run Gold Mtn and Jacoby. Maybe I will get lucky enough to go twice!!

[GrimmJeeper]

whats left? what do we need? im willing to chip in or buy some meat or other stuff, i'll be bringing a cooler anyway might as well fill it :gee: what do we need? meat? veggies? firewood? beer? tequila? im not in a habit of showing up to a bbq with nothing to contribute.

One of the other post in the "SoCal Fest 2007" main thread (http://www.naxja.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=180) should provide all of these details.

I know that Remi, Cracker, and Seqouia are all working on this.

I would look for more info later this week.

Usually, Remi or Ron take care of the food. It's BYOB. The food is usually about $10 per person. This will take care of the food and give a little to the chapter.

There is usually a nice raffle, but time is running short, so I am not sure what we can expect this year.

The past two years have been a blast. Personally, I love Big Bear and the trails are fun. It is not JV, that's for sure, but there are some challenging and scenic (as well as historic) trails there. There is almost something for everyone! I say almost because the non-street legal guys (buggies) don't have alot of places to run. Most of the trails are green sticker, meaning they have to be smogged and street legal. (I think)

Like I mentioned earlier, Friday is the chapter adopt-a-trail and it is a great time. There are Forest Service guys with us and last year they took us to a few unmarked areas. Also, gettting to give back tot the Forest Service by volunteering and maintaining a trail is a great way to say "Thank you!"

Id like a 12 pack of carona, a bottle of patron, and oh a side of beef........what are veggies?

sereously though the food saturday night the last couple years has been top notch and if you bring a little extra of whatever beverage you like there will be more than enough stuff from everyone to make the night interesting.

What is goin on with the raffle this time?

:D

[hellbilly04]

I'll be comming up early Saturday morning only for the day. Looking forward to meeting everyone & doing a lot of wheeling!

[KRAKER]

Sounds good! Just make sure they have the required gear for what ever run they do....

Usually tow points, seat belts, roll bar or hard top, etc.. Some runs may require a small lift, bigger tires, at least one locker etc...

BUT, there is something for everyone, so bring 'em all....

[bburge]

Head count is 2, maybe 3.

Looking to get in late Thursday night and leave Sunday.

Camping in Serrano, 92/93 (the double site).

Veggies are what you feed to cows and pigs to make them edible.

[99GreenMachine]

best answer Ive ever heard

[rpraterxj]

best answer Ive ever heard

One of my favorites:

I love animals......

and they taste great!

[bburge]

Quotes for meat:

Anthony Bourdain (Food Network personality): "Tony gets hungry; something dies"

Me: "I'm wary of plants. With all the pesticides and stuff; I have all my produce field tested on barnyard animals and eat the ones that don't die."

"I've never met an animal I didn't like. How I like them depends on the animal - grilled, baked, boiled, rare, medium rare, etc"

I used go with a friend to lunch at El Pollo Loco a lot. He said, "you must really like chicken". I explained, "Nope, I hate chickens. I used to have to care for them on my dad's farm. Nasty, vile spiteful animals - I eat one very chance I get. It's not love - it's revenge..."

(Since vegetarians categorize themselves based on the exceptions to just eating plants, I came up with this:)
"I'm a lacto-ovo-piscine-ovine-porcine-bovine-avian-cervine-caprine-leverine-(and even a little "feline" - if you know what I mean... Wink ) vegetarian."

[rpraterxj]

Well gang,

I will not be able to make it up there on Friday for the Clean-up. I will be driving up late Friday evening. I have to wait until my mother-in-law get off of work and drives down. I am figuring I will get to leave OC around 7:00 PM. She will be here earlier, but I am not driving in that traffic.

See you all then!

[Brendan_91XJ]

I'm in!!
Don't know if the Family is coming yet... But i plan on being there Friday for the clean up, through Sunday

[Gerr]

I'm in!!

[Skwerly]

Me and the woman are coming up friday afternoon, so I'll be there the whole time, if i can get in on the trail clean up i'm there guys, count me in! I'll be in Serrano Campground (spot 98 i believe). I'm expecting around 3, maybe 4 Friday afternoon, can possibly make it a tad earlier if need be. CANNOT WAIT!

[GrimmJeeper]

:doh: i think i'll be changing my count of just me and the boy, to:

me and the wife, my 8 year old stepson and 6 year old step daughter, and my 3 month old daughter, the wife and daughter changed thier minds and now want to join in on the fun :D if its not too late to add heads to the BBQ we'd all love to get in on it

just a heads up
thanks
-mike

[Gerr]

Im changing my count to include my Dad and possibly My sister

[Skwerly]

What time is the trail cleanup, anyone know? I don't really want to miss it if I can at all help it! Is it starting from the Campground, or ????. Lemme know, thanks!

[Skwerly]

Never mind, I'm a dork, didn't read all the threads first. Doh!

[Hildy]

The Hildy clan is in (spot 83, Friday afternoon through sometime Sunday), and for the BBQ, too. Head count is technically 8, but the littlest one won't be eatin' any, and the others vary in food consumption ability (9,7,5,3,2,.5).

[ruggedjeep]

The GF and I are in. Ill probably be coming up fri night, staying at my friends cabin or motel 6 for the night..

[FishPOET]

Put me down for 2. Space 97 in Serrano

[Jump This]

Damn, with all you hanging out at Serano I made my reservations for a nice hotel on the OTHER side of the lake. :D
Taking the wife with me, and no, she won't be going on any runs with us, she prefers to spend money!!

Rick

[KRAKER]

Me + atleast 3.

[ruggedjeep]

Well Just confirmed that ill be staying at the cabin. Looking forward to it !

[GSequoia]

Yeah... I'll be there ;)

My dad probably as well... Not sure about the nephews this year...

Everybody bring your cash. There will be a raffle, as usual we won't know the full ist of stuff until it's there but I do know I"ve got a few things lined up and I'm sure Remi has as well.

Also - everybody who can come up for the maintenance on Friday! THe more people we have the faster it's done. The faster it's done the more time we have to play on Friday ;)

After the maintenance I suggest we hit Pontiac Sluice / Onyx Loop as it may be the last time we can do it :cry:

[xDUMPTRUCKx]

me and the wife will be there. rig or no rig, or half a rig.

[rpraterxj]

WOW!!! As of 9:20 AM on 4-20, we have about 43 folks (including family/guests) I know at least 4 other folks that are coming, but have not posted in this thread.

I foresee at least 55 people and 30 vehicles... it is going to be awesome!!!!

[mdickerson]

Hello to all,

I'm a new paying member to NAXJA. I intend on attending the Big Bear function, w/ 1 guest. I intend to arrive on Friday afternoon and will be there the entire weekend. I'll be at campsite 67 at Serrano.

I drive a white 92' Cherokee. 4.0L with K&N cold air intake and a Jet Performance Stage II chip. It has a RE 4.5 lift, soon to be a Rock Krawler 8" Long Arm., with over the knuckle steering conversion and AGR Rock Ram Steering Assist, (Hopefully before the event) Dana 30 front, Dana 44 Rear,410 gears frt and rear, ARB Air Lockers, front and rear. nerf bars on the rockers. Mile Marker 9000 lb Winch, custom front bumper.

Big Bear is one of my favorite places to wheel. I think I've done John Bull about 7 times since getting my jeep last July.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

Hello to all,

I'm a new paying member to NAXJA. Mike Dickerson

Welcome to the Red side Mike...

BTW: My count now includes the family, so we are 5.

[Cherikon]

I think me and the little lady might mosey on up there. I missed this event last year and heard that Big Bear was a blast....plus, I'm a sucker for a BBQ.
Does anyone know where the nearest motel to the trailhead is....I imagine all the camping spots are taken.

Looking forward to this event.

Later,
Coullt

P.S. That's 2 for the food if you couldn't have guessed.:patriot:

[johnnyc]

I know at least 4 other folks that are coming, but have not posted in this thread.

Are you talking about me? :spin1:

Yes, I will be there Friday through Sunday. Staying in a rental house.

I will have 4 other friends who are not NAXJA people. Some of you know James and Chris in the TJ from the last Calico run. And another couple who have a bone stock 2-door XJ (but they'll be riding with me on the runs).

So, 5 people and 2 vehicles. Then there are the 3 other NAXJA bums also staying with us, but they can speak for themselves.

[corbinafly]

...Then there are the 3 other NAXJA bums also staying with us, but they can speak for themselves.
Yeah. I'll be there. Who are the three bums?:confused1

[SlimsXJ]

[Cherikon]

I hope to have the new lift/tow hooks and brackets on before we roll up there!

Later,

good luck man....dont let it get you down and dont let it ruin your fun it's all about the family and as the kids grow up they will apreciate the time and effort for special outings and in general doing something fun. Some of the best memories come from the time after my parents divorced and my Dad took the time to show me what the mountains were for. We will see you when you get up there.
