Dishpan, Holcomb, and John Bull (3-16-15)
« on: March 17, 2015, 10:39:23 PM »
On 03-16-15, I took my father in-law up to Big Bear, CA for some true 4x4. It had been 17 years since he had seen Dishpan Springs and oh how he said it has changed. It was his first time on Holcomb Creek and John Bull (his favorite). He took 1016 photos while we were up there, but here are some I thought I'd share.

Thanks for the comments.

Steeevo, we should plan a run for Mottino Wash. Been thinking about doing it but, been waiting for other capable rigs to join.

Hey James, I think you need a new spotter.  Your Dad was picking out some tough BS lines for you ;D

Did real good! and yeah, nice to have so many pictures taken :) wished I had more of my previous adventures.

About 12 years ago, I took my Grand Cherokee 5.9 (ZJ) on the "easier" part of John Bull and it was challenging, but fun. Jeep was lifted 5.5", 32's and sliders..disco'd SFA helped  ;D

Come on now, I pick my own lines. Push her to the limits
