Title: Big Bear 10-11-13 (Night Run)
Post by: 0317 on October 09, 2013, 10:40:02 AM
Myself and two others (non Xterra's)  will be heading into Big Bear on Friday night for some night wheeling. The group will be running difficult trails. John Bull, Dishpan Springs, Holcomb Creek. The group is requiring at least 1 locker and legit recovery points. This will not be a guided trail run and participants should be experienced. The group will be fast paced in order to get to as many trails as possible. PM me if interested.

Nice post!  You guys are tougher than me, I couldn't run those during the day :o
Terry, this run has your name all over it.  I hope your rig is up and running.
Good luck and have fun guys.  Night photos?!?

Thanks for the support, because of some late guests we didn't start till 9:00 pm. We only ran John Bull. All three rigs made it with no issues. Nothing broke and no one needed recovery. I'll post what pics we have soon. Planning another night run to do dishpan and Holcomb.

Here are some pictures. Not the best quality since they are taken from iPhones.

Filling up before the run.

One of the guys had a 4runner in the 90's with a SAS and duel transfer cases. He had fun posing.
