We got word today that we will be able to have a fire at the main fire ring next to the stage. This is the only spot there will be a wood fire, propane is still good to go at individual camp sites.

If anyone would like to bring a bit of wood to contribute to the fire it would be greatly appreciated.

Couple of things.

1. Now you can use coals if you want to with your dutch oven at the main pit area.
2. Bring some wood to contribute

I got wood

Do we have a plan for who's gonna be there first and where we want to set up camp?

I should be able to get away fairly early. When does camp open?

I plan on leaving Kearny Mesa at noon on Friday.

I'm taking Friday off and planned on leaving Orange around noon. Since it's on the back side of Big Bear I should be there close to 2:00.

Actually, it is on the southeast side of Big Bear. You take Hwy 38 up through Redlands.

Thanks for volunteering Randy, you are the MAN!!

I'll be there when it opens.

For the past two years, this is where I've camped.
This is where I'll be camping this year! It's a great spot, central to the action, but far enough away to have quiet. (not that it gets rowdy at all at these events)
You are more than welcome and encouraged to camp with me! My Rendezvous buddies, the guys I only see at these events have a bitchin' Tactical Tropical Anti Radar Defense Tarp (TTARDT) for some shade.
You can get a little further away, skirting the edges of the camp, but these events are made to be social

The camp spot is located just after the main fire pit and check in area on the left.

From the main fire pit, the camp is up in the left hand corner.

Woody, camp is located here:

N34 09.913' W116 53.697'

Put that into the googles and you'll be set. Should take you 1.5 hours.
On getting there, there is a Camp entrance off the 38, but the one we want is off Jenk's Lake Rd.

I've been there before with my kids when they were in Indian Guides. I just remember they drive on the the 38 being a nightmare with all of the signals and residential traffic. If you've got a work around, I'm all ears.

Yes, last year my GPS told me to drive right through Redlands and the University campus. Pain in the butt. This year I am staying on the 10 to Yucaipa. Take off at Oak Glen Road and go left (northeast) all the way to Bryant Street. Then hang a left and go until it T's into Hwy 38. Then hang a right. You can also get off the 10 one exit earlier at Yucaipa Blvd and take it east until you hit Oak Glen Road, then turn left onto Oak Glen. Looks to be about the same time regardless of which of these two you take, according to Google Maps.

So Steve...by my fuzzy math I have 9 rigs from SCCX attending...plus your AAV buddies...is there enough room for potentially 15 trucks and camp space there?

If so...excellent! If not, what is your suggested plan B for those of us arriving in the afternoon?

Thanks for the very informative posts BTW.

I think it should work out nicely.
Tony can chime in - he was there last year, too.

There's actually a bit more space towards the bottom of the picture.
I will be there early to "claim" the area.

I think there will only be 2 AAV buddies this time. Two I know had to bow out.

Anyways, I don't want anyone to feel pressured to camp where I camp just because I've been there before. Camp where ever you please, it's not that big of a place and walking to hang out with your buds is no big deal!

I'm really feeling the pressure...
