An idea.....
Since this is during the Cinco de Mayo weekend, why don't we have the BBQ a Mexican theme?
Carne Asada, tacos, and the like?

While that might be nice I vote for keeping it simple: something that's easily handled and we make sure we have enough for everyone ;)

JJ sold her business so no "hook-ups" this year. I will call the last number I have for her and see what she can do with the folks she knows up there.

True! I ran that setup for two years. The only trail I didn't get to run was Deep Creek but that's only because it was closed.

...don't forget tow points though, just in case....

All the standard stuff;
Tow points, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, seat belts for all occupants and donations (in bottled form) for the cooks.

THis is taken from teh NAXJA By-Laws:

"Required Equipment for Event Participation
NAXJA VERY HIGHLY recommends that all event participants have a CB Radio.
NAXJA requires all listed items to be present, and available for use, for a vehicle to be permitted to participate in a event. Participants are expected to stow equipment and all other items within their vehicle in a safe manner, conscious of the effects of OHV use and possible shifting of items.
NAXJA Safety Inspectors will use this list for safety inspections prior to any event. The Safety Inspector has final say in approval or rejection of any vehicle for event participation and may at anytime defer to a second event or club officer for additional ruling.
NAXJA expects each event participant to carry insurance and registration sufficient to meet the legal requirements of their vehicle state of residence and for the roads and trails traveled for the event. NAXJA is not responsible for assuring an entrant's vehicle is legal for the roads and trails traveled in the event.
Equipment List
Visibly charged fire extinguisher (BC or ABC)
First aid kit
Adequate spare tire, jack and lug wrench
Safety belts for driver and any current passenger
Adequate attachment points in the front and rear of the vehicle:
Acceptable forms of attachment points: (All Items must be mounted in a manner to provide adequate strength and integrity)
Tow hooks of OEM or greater integrity
D-Rings
Shackle/Clevis
20ft 10,000lb snatch strap without any metal hooks
Secured battery (no bungee cords)"


There will be vehicle safety "inspections" at the Discovery Center BEFORE the trail runs.

Also, participants must sign a relase/waiver before departing for the trails.

ok two questions:

1. Which Jeep - both stock, a '96 and a '97. If you've read the boards, you know what's up with the '97, but it would be cool to rock it and give it a good off road test...as for the '96, I'd rather not beat it up...anymore LOL

2. Is it possible to just drive out for the day and wheel with you guys and then drive home? I can't stay overnight.

I may not be able to make it at all right now anymore, but in the event I can let me know!
Darky

Take whichever Jeep, they're both stock, and there's trails available for all levels of Jeep. Personally, I'd drive whichever one you feel is least likely to die/get you a ticket on the drive. :D

Yes, you may just drive out for the day. A friend of mine will be driving out Saturday morning and leaving that night.

Meeting at 8:30. Plan on leaving at 9:00 AM for the trails.

I am doing a day trip out of OC. You are more than welcome to meet me along the way and van-pool up the hill.

I will be leaving OC at 5:30 and heading out the 91 to the 10 to either the 330 or 38.

Dinner will be served around 6pm.
And we could use some Webbers, and some extra hands around prep and cook time.

Don't have a Weber, but I do have a pair of hands...and I rarely stray too far from the food anyhow....

For those of us who have never been to big bear, or a naxja event, what do we need to know. My jeep is close to ready and it looks like I'll be going. Is there gas available anywhere close to the campground? food? Parts? etc?

There is gas, food, and parts just on the other side of the lake from the campground. The Stanfield Cutoff road cuts across the lake.

Make sure you have the minimum equipment described in these threads.

Map your route to the campground or Discovery Center. Allow plenty of time for traffic.

Bring appropriate clothing, food, and provisions. It gets cold at night up there.

Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to folks and ask about the Jeeps and trails.

No problem.

The Big Bear Discovery Center is off of Hwy 18 on the "backside" of the lake. You can take the 330 or 38 from LA, OC, SD, Riverside, 'berdo. You can take the 18 from Apple Valley/High Desert.

Here is the website:

Heh, sorry, was just kidding.....you did say you're staying up there right? You'll be able to follow people from just about anywhere.

But you cant really miss it. I think the first time I saw it just as I drove past it, but it's perty easy to find. =)

And like I said, if you're at the campground...they will be a caravan heading out in the morning. I know a couple folks are staying at Motel 6 you could also tag along with if you're staying in town somewheres.

The Discovery Center is actually on highway 38, not highway 18. :twak: :D

From the town of Big Bear Lake, go north on the Stanfield Cutoff. That's the road that cuts across the lake.

Turn left on highway 38. Go 1.25 miles and the Disco Center is on the right. There are signs, so it's easy to find.

The Serrano Campground is a little further west on highway 38. Turn left on North Shore Lane.

If you have a spot reserved, you can make the first right off North Shore Lane into the campground. If not, continue on North Shore Lane and park along the side of the road.

Everyone will be at the west end of the campground. Look for all the XJs.
