Topic: Our Adopted Trail 2N02 - May 23rd!!!

[Alex]

I have a CB Scott (no HAM yet for me), and I saw Richard has one as well. I'm sure we'll be slow enough along 2N02 so you could just meet up with us along the trail; the remaining trash in shooting area will still take a good chunk of time. And I'm open to any start time if it would work better for us.

I'll keep my ham on 146.535 and channel 19 on CB. If anything Scott, like Alex mentioned, just meet us out on trail. I don't have a call sign yet but I'll be monitoring. I'll have FRS on me as well. Channel: 3.

Slight shift in plans. I'll be up in Big Bear by 0800 at the same ARCO. Let me know if you guys will still be able to meet. Otherwise I'll see you on the trail.

Decent day cleaning up the shooting area and picking up a few pieces along the road. I would have loved to continue at least to 2N01, but considering the time crunch I wasn't able to do so. Alex and I totaled 5 filled bags plus a few frying pans and a busted drive shaft. I think a pretty good day for a few hours. The shooting area looks a lot better now.

Not sure who to report this to but my total hours driving there and back plus cleanup: 10 hours.

I would be fun to place a couple of game cameras around that spot where they are trashing the area and get some license plate numbers and the heathens that aren't picking up after themselves. It would be fun to have a wall of shame post somewhere conspicuous on the internet for all to see.

Like Richard mentioned, I think we got a good bit done on the range for the two of us, and did some cleaning on the sides of the trail until about 5 miles into the trail before we had to start heading back.

I got some before photos, didn't remember to get some afterwards though

The new trash since last time was almost all shotgun shells and targets on the hill

We definitely need a truck or trailer for the bigger stuff

A driveshaft that was twisted right off and a skidplate, probably not the best of days for either owner:

I might give that hiking trail at the start of 2N02 a try, had some nice views looking out too

I didn't get any shots of the trail further down, but I went all the way down 2N02 through Burns Canyon out through Yucca Valley, where I met Scott heading up the trail at about Round Valley. I was expecting the trail to be a lot longer, but it turned out to be very manageable.

Found this mine on the side

I talked to some moto guys at the 2N02/3N03 junction, said that Pioneertown had good chili, but had to head home before any further exploring

Very nice Alex! That driveshaft sure is toast. Wonder what that came off of?

I was thinking maybe a jet ski?

Jet skis use 35 spline axels FYI


Good work, dudes!

For the bean counters...

Total hours spent cleaning the trail (including travel time):

Clint, Jonathan and Jocelyn = 30 hours today
Randy and Nilda = 20 hours today
Sir John of Fullerton = 10 hours today
Alex = 10 hours today

This has been reported to Ang Cook with AAT.  I did adjust total hours up for Jonathan's and Jocelyn's 2X hours, for a total of 80 total reported hours.

I also grabbed your 6.5 hours for the pre-run on 5/19 Clint.
