I was think about doing the Pilot Rock Trail out of San Bernardino Nov. 22 or 23. Has anybody body done this part of the trail? Will it still be open if the weather stays dry?
If anybody wants to join me, I am open to all comers. (that doesn't sound right. :-\)
-
I'm in!
-
Here's my plan.
- Meet at the Shell station on Hwy 138 at 9:00 AM
- Head to trial 2N33 at 10:00.
- Take the entire 2N33 to Hwy 173.
- Drop back down to trail 3N34 Willow Creek and take it to Hook Creek
- Go back through Lake Arrowhead and home.
I figure about 4 hours of trail time. If anybody else wants to join us, we will be happy to have you.

Tim Nov. 22 or 23?
-
Sorry, I'm going Saturday, Nov. 22.
-
OK think I can swing it. See you there 0900. Is that the Shell Station on I-15 and 138?
-
That's the place. Glad you can make it.
-
I am interested in heading out, how difficult is this, I am planning on bring the family (wife, 2kids, dog)? Looking at the pics/video from here, http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/Pilot_Rock_Truck_Trail, seeing a few trucks rolled over looks pretty gnarly, is there a bypass for that section? Chris
-
Isn't Pilot the trail we did after Cleg? When I was heading into bigbear.
-
USKO and I did Pilot Rock after Cleaghorn last year. Great trail for the family. Moderate to easy with nice views. It's easy to stay on the main trail. Nilda and I did Willow Creek last year as well, and it's the same fun kind of trail without the altitude views. Nothing dangerous on either trail, unless you are looking for it ;)

Yup that is the one I broke my rack and Pinion Danny.
Chris. I don't remember an obstacle that was not bypassable. To quote Ghostx Easy peasey.
Come on folks lets do this.
-
I'm afraid I have to back out. :'( I feel like I got hit by a truck and someone opened up a hose bid in my nose. Have a great time.
-
That's interesting.
So do we have any kind of reading who is going to be at the Shell station tomorrow morning?
-
We are still a go if anybody else is.
-
I'm still in.
-
Ok.
Meet you all at the Shell Station 0900
CB Channel 17
Ham 146.535
Chris. WalMart at 0800
-
Running about 15 minutes behind, but we are on our way.
-
I'm bummed I couldn't make it. I have a broken leaf spring. I hope to get some new leaf springs this week and get back out. I'm glad I could hit you guys on simplex.

Me too. It was nice to talk to you. Lets get out.

Hey CaWoody,
Thanks for a great day, illness and all. It was lots of fun.
We need to do this again and discover the other trails we didn't get a chance to check out.
-
Green goon. You spring over? I have a set of deavers that I am not using for my frontier
-
Yes, I am spring over and I'm interested.
-
Thanks for still coming out Tim and leading us on a great trip, it was great wheeling with ya, hope to do it again soon. Good rolling with you again Jonathan, you did an awesome job, glad you didn't listen to me and went for it, super cool to watch. Terry as always, you Rock!
-
BTW everybody. To quote Ghostx ====> Pictures or it didn't happen
-
I had a great time. Thanks to Jonathan, Terry, Chris and family for coming along. Pilot Rock is a beautiful trail with some fun obstacles and great views. Here are a few picture and a link to more. I would love to try this and Cleghorn when it's a little wetter and even some snow. I keep my fingers crossed for a wet winter.

Terry trying some up-hill whoops that pitch you in all directions.

Jonathan and Chris wisely taking the easier path along a cliff.

Terry spent a lot of time like this.

Jonathan did a great job listening to directions through some pretty tough places. And this time, no body damage.

Looks like a great day.
