Topic: Adopt A Trail Xcursion - February 16th 2013 - 0900 - Big Bear Discovery Center

[RockinX]

So I was just thinking, the tour by Greg probably won't take more than an hour if that?  Since it is a bit of a drive for us to get there and we won't be doing any actual trail maintenance, maybe we can check out Pioneertown afterwards or hit a trail?  Just a thought.  It may be one of those things where we play it by ear.

Depending on weather conditions and amount of snow on the ground.  Heartbreak Ridge/Pontiac Sluice is in the neighborhood.  And I'm sure Ghostx would know where others are too.

Well guys, I suppose we can wait for a date in March...but I'd personally rather not wait.  I don't think this will be a big "work" party, but just not sure yet.

We have always run the SCCX Rattlesnake Canyon Run the last week in February, and the temps and weather are always cold/windy/snowy.

Worst case scenario, I can head up and meet with Ranger Greg and take care of the preliminary Trail Maintenance plan and then communicate it back to everyone for implementation later when it warms up.

Thanks again for all of your interest.

Hey John, I'm down for either date, just let me know I'll be there.  I'm pretty sure that Shi is in the same boat.

Haha, February 16th will roll around and we'll be saying "Damn (hide the child boards), what great weather we're having today. Wish I was in Big Bear."  Or not

[Pro4X-Gremlin]

I'm back. Leaving the child board behind (in 2012)... We'd prefer the 16th. But, we aren't too picky either way. Especially since we've been MIA. Is the 2nd game day wknd?

[Ghost65]

Good point Michelle, SuperBowl weekend is probably best to avoid.  It might be you, myself, Marshann, and Terry (not a bad crew??) 

So, with that said, I am going to make the call right here in this post:

Adopt A Trail Maintenance Plan Meeting is set for Saturday, February 16th!

The meet time will be confirmed in the next week, after I speak with Ranger Greg Hoffman.  My vision of this is a day trip, and not so much of a work party the first time.  According to Greg, we will tour the Burns Canyon/2N02 Trail and develop a plan of maintenance for the year with respect to SCCX.  From there, we would set up work party weekends to meet the goal of 100 hours of combined trail maintenance.  I am pretty sure the vision is not of a work crew slogging in the cold wind and snow, cleaning out culverts and moving rocks. 

As always, please PM me with any questions you may have.

Thanks for the support of this great project which helps SCCX to give back to the off road community.

Boom!  There we go!

In my calendar as well!!!

Thanks John!

Sounds good to me

If I can follow you guys in my stock 4x4, count me in! May have the 2" installed by then but can't be positive - basically booked every weekend before hand so probably won't have time.

I'll bring my shovel just in case.

This will be a very green run.  No lift, sliders, skids needed.  Trail 2N02 is for the most part, a roughly graded fire road that goes from Pioneertown near Yucca Valley all the way west to the Baldwin Lake area of Big Bear.

You'll be fine Joey.

marking my calendar as well. Ghost, was there another meeting as well? At the Sizzler in Corona? Forgive me. My bad. I can't remember.

[RBduffer]

Welcome back Michelle,
I think the meeting is an Adopt A Trail general meeting on Wed. the 13th at 6pm TBD in Corona. 

Hey John, If you want company for this meeting, I'll join ya.

[knightrider]

I'd be up for the 16th of Feb, what time should we be up there?

Great minds think alike Jordan...I just received this email from Ranger Greg:

Hi John, Saturday, February 16th it is.  Can we meet at Big Bear Discovery Center (parking lot) at 0900?


Should be a great day!


Thank you,


Greg.
